Availability

I am available 7 days per week for drop-in visits or dog walks (weekdays I'm limited to 3:30 pm - 9 pm time frame). I am available most weekends and school vacations! For boarding, I limit my boarding services to Friday through Sunday, pending your pup gets along with mine, to ensure that I'm home to spend time with your pup. Should your dog need to stay longer than a weekend, I am open to provide extended service as long as I know your dog and my dog will be safe and comfortable while I'm at work on weekdays. When I'm home, my dog spends lots of time playing in the yard and we take frequent walks. My schedule revolves around my dog and you can trust I will do the same for your pup!

Information Sarah C. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know if your pet has any special needs, requires special instructions, or is responsive to specific commands. It is also helpful to know what might stress or trigger your pet/dog to be reactive, both positively and negatively (i.e. other dogs, people, wildlife, loud noises, etc.). Lastly, does your dog walk using a harness or leash only? Are they treated motivated?

A typical day

I'm willing to follow any instructions you have with regard to dog walks and exercise. Activities that I enjoy doing with dog's that I sit for include playing fetch, long walks, exploring nature's scenary and smells, mental challenges like hiding and finding treats, or cuddles and snuggles.

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Sarah and I relocated to SC from CT in the summer of 2024. I've been surrounded by dogs since birth, primarily larger breeds. My mother also rescues and helps rehabilitate small wild animals which is where my passion stems from. I've owned 3 dogs myself; two of which I trained as certified pet therapy animals that visited nursing homes and were integrated within my high school in a pet therapy program I created. In CT, I volunteered with Dog Star Rescue as a Kennel Team Coordinator and kennel volunteer. My responsibilities as coordinator included training new volunteers, tracking and coordinating dogs coming and going from transport, adoption, or foster care, and helping to organize events and kennel procedures. As a member of the kennel team, I received training on dog handling skills and behavioral techniques applied when handling and walking dogs that reside at our headquarters site. My kennel duties included feeding, exercising, and training the dogs, attending to their specific needs to prepare them for adoption. I am certified in Pet CPR and First Aid and am bonded and insured. I'm very reliable and committed to my jobs and responsibilities. I know how difficult it can be to find a trustworthy individual who can comfortably care for your pets in your absence. I will treat your animals as if they were my own family members! Please consider me if you are in need of drop in pet visits or dog walks!

Sarah did a lovely job! She was very communicative and responsive. She sent pics of my kitty, kept things tidy, and was very professional. I will be booking her again 👏

Sarah has been the absolute best when it comes to my 2 dogs. She really takes the time to walk them, care and love them as her own. She is also very good at communicating with you and might possibly take the best pictures of your pet around. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone look for a dog walker!

I have had the pleasure of knowing Sarah for over 10 years both as a friend and former colleague. Sarah would often take her therapy dogs to the high school where I taught and where she still teaches. On numerous occasions, I personally witnessed her giving her pets love and comfort. They always look healthy and happy. Her knowledge of dog care, and her devotion and love of her pets are beyond question. We have a family pet who is a special part of our family. I would not hesitate to have Sarah walk and/or care for our beloved Coco. That is the biggest compliment I can pay Sarah.
