Pet care experience
Paws-tively Perfect Pet Care
I've always loved animals, particularly dogs, so any opportunity I have to play, walk or snuggle with a dog, I'm going to take it! This passion kicked off my pet sitting experience which dates back to high school when my neighbors would ask me to watch their dog while they went on vacation. Since then, I've continued to offer pet sitting to friends, family and others. This experience ranges from puppies to seniors, tiny to large, and mellow to active dogs. I've some training experience, so that's helpful with new puppies looking for routines. In my experience with senior dogs, I've cared for dogs that need extra attention including frequent medicine, bathroom breaks and even IV fluids. My priority one in pet sitting is to provide as much love and attention as I can to your pup so they can feel like one of my pack.

Ratings and reviews
Sarah took great care of Clyde and she kept him an extra night at the last minute!
Sarah was wonderful! She kept me updated and sent fun pictures! My anxious dog also seemed happy and once she got home she just transitioned back into life just fine. I was thrilled with the experience and felt at ease.
Our pup had a fantastic experience—and so did we—during his first time boarding, which Sarah made so easy (for a sensitive dog and anxious dog parents). She was patient, communicative, thoughtful, and flexible throughout. Can’t recommend her strongly enough!
I felt very comfortable leaving Benji with Sarah. My mind was at ease. She sent daily updates and pics. I was also a little late picking up Benji due to the airline. Sarah was most gracious. In addition, this was the first time Benji was left with someone other than family or close friend.
Sarah took good care of Clyde. She communicated regularly with us and sent plenty of pictures.
Sarah took excellent care of our two dogs and was wonderful to work with. We were lucky to find such a quality dog sitter on short notice. You can tell she really cares for your pets while you are away.

Schedule
I work from home most days of the week, so I can spend the whole day with your dog at my side. This allows me to meet your dog's schedule needs (specific walk times, feed times, etc.). On the rare occasion that I’m in office, my partner, who is fully remote, is happy to take point in the short time I'm away.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a two story home with a fenced-in yard. This offers plenty of space inside to explore and outside for leash free play (if approved by mom and/or dad). I do have one dog, a Pomeranian-Husky named Byrd, who welcomes playmates. She has free range of the house, so any client's dog would too unless specified otherwise. I would have water and food bowls available in the kitchen all day. I tend to do feedings at specific times but if a client's dog is a grazer, I can make that work. When leaving the house, I have Byrd gated to the first floor; it would be the same for other boarders unless the client prefers for their dog to be crated. I have a camera in my living room that lets me see and talk to the dogs while I'm out of the house (which I try to do rarely if there are doggy guests). Clients can expect plenty of photos and updates on their pets via text.

A typical day
Day starts with AM bathroom break and breakfast. Morning and/or afternoon walks around the neighborhood are guaranteed. I'm less than a five-minute drive from Forest Park, so I sometimes will take dogs there for longer walks. Byrd has tons of toys to share for play time.
