Sarah can care for
Availability
I work from home 3–4 hours a day, but my schedule is completely flexible. This means I’m available most days and evenings to walk, play with, and supervise dogs. I integrate pet care into my daily rhythm, paying close attention to each dog’s energy, cues, and individual needs. Overnight stays are smooth and comforting, with consistent routines and plenty of companionship. Being home for flexible periods allows me to provide reliable, attentive care, ensuring every pup feels happy, safe, and understood while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust, and a chill environment come first. Because I want to keep my dog emotionally secure, I cannot have your pet in my home. My care is all about fun walks and housesitting! with plenty of walks, play, and attention. I have an eight-year-old mix who’s friendly with some dogs, so I make sure every pup is a good fit before visits. I tune into each dog’s energy, supervise interactions closely, and keep owners in the loop — so every pup feels secure, happy, and genuinely understood.
Information Sarah D. would like to know about your pet
I like to know a dog’s personality, energy level, and quirks ahead of time. What makes them happy, nervous, or playful? Medical needs, favorite walks, routines, and how they get along with other dogs help me plan a safe, fun, and stress-free day tailored to each pup’s vibe. Every dog is different, and understanding them ahead of time makes all the difference.
A typical day
A typical day with me is all about fun, connection, and reading each pup’s energy. Walks often take us to scenic spots like Point Isabel or the Albany Bulb, where dogs can explore, sniff, and stretch their legs. Back at home, we enjoy interactive play, puzzle toys, and gentle training games to keep minds sharp and tails wagging. Overnight stays include cozy evenings, calm routines, and lots of companionship.

Pet care experience
I get dogs. Seriously. I notice the dozens of signals, from facial expressions to body, tail, and vocal cues, and respond in ways that keep them safe, calm, and confident. My raison d'etre is to help dogs grow. Fur parents trust me because I’m dependable, chill, and fully tuned in to their pup’s needs. From playful puppies to wise seniors, every dog in my care feels safe, loved, and understood. Overnight stays? I’ve got it handled - your dog gets enrichment and comfort, and you get total peace of mind.

Reviews
Sarah was great! She was very communicative providing detailed updates and showed genuine care and appreciation for Dottie.
Sarah is great! She clearly knows and cares forvdogs, is very attentive, and responsive!
Sarah is AWESOME, an incredible communicator and truly works wonders with dogs. She took my pup on long, enjoyable walks, kept me updated, and even shared a few great photos. Since then, I’ve asked her to walk my dog many times because she’s always prompt, reliable, and genuinely caring. Best dog walker I’ve experienced on this app
Sarah clearly knows and loves dogs! She has helped me with my temperamental chihuahua on two occasions, each time demonstrating patience and and understanding for his anxiety. I already trust Sarah to care for my pup as if he were her own. She is also very easy to work with in terms of communications and planning.
