Pet care experience

Casual Heights Pet Friend!

I have been pet sitting since high school and love all dogs, big and small. I have experience from little terriers with separation anxiety to a huge Great Pyrenees who likes to eat walls, while also taking care of cats, fish, and turtles. Varied personalities and challenges do not bother me. I’m an active person, so long walks are no problem for me, if your dog has a lot of energy to burn. I love the nomadic style of house sitting, and I always welcome meeting new dogs even if just for a walk. Huge or tiny, grumpy or snuggly, I welcome any type of dog!

Safety, trust & environment

Caring for your pet in your home allows me to keep their routine as much as they need and have them be comfortable in their familiar environment. Each pet is different and will have different needs, so care will vary.

Sarah was amazing! So nice and patient with my emotionally high maintenance dog. 😂 he has very bad separation anxiety and she was able to bond with him and get him to interact. Highly recommend!

Sarah was a great help for a last-minute overnight booking—I'd definitely book with her again! The home was left neat and tidy, which we really appreciated. The only small downside was that she had to leave a bit earlier than planned due to a work issue, and I had to reach out for updates rather than receiving them proactively. Otherwise, everything went smoothly!

Schedule

I work in events and this means I could be at work anywhere from 4 to 15 hours, depending on the event. Long days are rare and usually planned far in advance, so I will likely mark myself as unavailable on those days. Because of my varied work schedule, I will always check my schedule for your requested dates, then your pets profiles for how long they can between potty breaks, and finally I will discuss with you by messenger or at a meet and greet. My priority is always to be open and honest about what I can offer you on your requested days!

What’s most important to know is any issues the pet may have being comfortable. Is he slow to warm up to people? Is she extra defensive when eating? I’m happy to work with any quirks, just as long as I know about them. Other information I’d love to have would be what commands and other words they’re familiar with. Being able to communicate will help us have a smooth time together.
