As if they're my own

Pet care experience

While not picking up boarding/sitting on here. I currently on occasion assist a few of my neighbors in my complex as requested/needed. I am very thorough and provide a text update after every walk. If sitting I only send morning and night as to not clutter inbox, unless request otherwise. One of which may include a photo from the day. :) The commonality is they enjoy my flexibility and availability on a day's notice or if in a jam. As for the dogs, they enjoy my spoils. Who doesn't enjoy multiple walks a day, evening snuggles, heading to the park, or possibly being the mascot for their sitter's kickball and softball team?!

Sarah was recommended to me by a friend, and i’m so happy we chose her to watch our dog(s)! She was prompt, communicative, thoughtful, and sent us plenty of updates and photos. Our dogs liked her too, which made her stay an ultimate win. We will hire her again in the future, and would encourage anyone else to do the same.

Sarah was very communicative when we were gone. She made sure to make contact with our scaredy cat everytime she came to feed him. Always ensure he was fed and refilled his water. After each visit, she notified me of everything that happened during her visit.

Sarah was incredible!! She took amazing care of my high energy pittie and also took great care of our home. So thankful for her many updates throughout the weekend and quick responses. Benji seemed very happy when we got back home! Will definitely be reaching out again! Thank you!!

Safety, trust & environment

I take every measure of precaution and then some as the client instructs. Always leashed and always take precautions if encounter other dogs. If cats that like to escape (say if once outdoor and now try to remain in) I take precautions such as creating barriers so they don't run out. For example, enter/exit thru garage only so door is down before entering house (if applicable).

Information Sarah C. would like to know about your pet

What I would love to know about your furball before sitting is their temperament and more importantly any allergies they might have. Knowing if they have a favorite toy is also helpful. Lastly, because I've not been notified in the past - whether they tend to be submissive pee-ers and/or have poor eating habits (poop/anything not of nature on the ground) related to walks.

A typical day

I love to go hiking with your dogs around the various parks (wolf trap being one) and taking multiple walks a day. I take to dog parks or visits with friends and other clients dogs if client permits (depends on dogs temperament). Cats I will play with strings and lasers if they're the type to be active. Always a good snuggle as well.
