Safety, trust & environment
I make sure to watch the dogs while they play so if things get intense I can break it up and make them calm down. I normally give out bones so Lylah can chew on them to destress herself while I'm working or if we're stuck inside. At clients' homes, I make sure to keep things clean so that the dogs don't get into things they aren't supposed to. I also make sure that if they are in the yard that they are supervised and try to sit outside with them so that I can see what's going on.
Information Sarah D. would like to know about your pet
Are they dog-friendly? Are they leash reactive if I take them out on a walk? Do they require special medication? Are they on a special diet?
A typical day
I usally like to go out on walks twice a day with my pup and I could do the same for your pups and take them out as a pack. I sometimes go on walks at a nearby bird park down the road from me so that its quieter and the dogs can get all the wonderful sights and smells.

Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Sarah, and I have been pet-sitting for about 8 years now. I love all animals, but before you consider requesting me, please read below before sending anything out for my services. I have a pup, Lylah, who is a Siberian husky mix under 50 pounds. When I stay the night at clients' places or need to stay somewhere for long hours, I do require bringing her with me. We can do introductions beforehand to make sure they get along, but it is a nonnegotiable term and something to consider. I bring everything with me: a crate for her to sleep in, her own food to eat, etc. She is very well-trained and well-behaved and loves to play with other dogs and is even familiar with cats, as I have a few. So please consider that before requesting me. Another consideration is that I do work a job that requires me to have the ability to access the internet, and I need to plug into the router for my work. If it's during the week, I will need to work as scheduled if you need me to do overnight stays. It honestly brings me joy to take care of dogs and cats alike. To be honest, I love animals more than I do people, and because of that, I find that spending time with animals is almost like a calming agent of sorts. I also love to take photos of the animals I sit with, so when I am usually done with a request, I will send the photos I have taken to the owners so that they can have them for life. Even the moments you might not be there for. I love to capture expressions, movement, and just general curiosity in animals. My preferred method of watching pets is to stay overnight just because they get more attention, and I can be there in case something does happen to them. I provide extra care around the home as well and clean up after myself the day before, or the day I leave. I believe the owners should come back from vacation to a clean home, not a messy one. I look forward to looking after your lovely fur babies

Reviews


Sarah did a great job dropping in on my cats, especially my newer young cat that I just rescued. She checked in every day and made sure they had what they needed. She also helped deal with an unexpected water leak from an upstairs neighbor that occurred while I was away!


The peace of mind from Sarah's visit was very much appreciated.

Sarah was awesome. She was very prompt at letting us know how everything was going when we were on vacation. She was very sweet to our baby and he was well taken care of!


I was happy that Sarah was able to fill in for me. Thank you Sarah.
