Long-time experienced dog lover!
Pet care experience
I absolutely love dogs and would love to take care of your low to medium energy dog for the week or weekend! I work from home full time. I also have a 2.5 year old so need a dog that is child-friendly. I am only taking small/medium and ideally low energy dogs right now. I can take dogs on nice long walks--I live very close to a beautiful shoreline in Alameda. At this time, only looking for low-maintenance dogs who are non-aggressive to other dogs or people and non leash reactive. After I've watched your dog, I offer discounts for my return clients--I'm very picky about the dogs I watch so once I know your dog clicks with my family we can have a beautiful relationship! I have been dog sitting & dog walking for over 10 years! I love every animal like they are part of my family. My father is a very experienced pet trainer who has been a great source of information for me. I will love your dog like you do, but probably shower it with even MORE attention because I don't have a doggo of my own so it's such a treat for me to watch your baby. You should book me if: -you want the experience of a good friend watching your dog (lots of pictures, text updates, walks, and snuggles). I am not a professional but I will look after your dog like it is my own. -low to medium energy dog: I can only handle 1-2 hours of walks a day at the moment -non-aggressive and good on the leash (pulling OK but being aggressive not) Do *not* book me if: -your dog hates children! I have a child in the house. They'll never be together unsupervised but safety first and so I will not take any dogs who don't like / tolerate children -your dog is aggressive with other dogs / can't be on a leash - I live in an area with a ton of other dogs that will inevitably interact with your dog during a walk -if you are looking for a professional walker. I work 9-5 full-time from home!
Reviews
Sarah was great and helped us out in a pinch. Hadn't planned to be away this holiday weekend, but a family emergency caused us to have to leave town. Sarah was able to drop in at agreed times and the kittens (and us) were grateful. Thanks Sarah!
We had a great experience boarding our dog Dexter with Sarah. She's very easy to communicate with and our dog seemed very happy :)
We are so appreciative of Sarah watching our fur baby for two nights while we went on a mini vacation! She shared lots of pictures of his activities as well as him playing fetch with their cute little girl! We would not hesitate having Sarah keep our fur baby again in the future
Sarah is amazing! She is really thoughtful, consistent and friendly. Sarah spent so much time quality with our dog Coco, and cared for our dog as if Coco were her own pet! She sent us a ton of updates and photos. Our Coco was so so happy to stay with her! We felt at ease knowing Coco was in great hands!

Information Sarah D. would like to know about your pet
'd like to know your dogs needs, any fears, when they like to eat, how they like to play, how they interact with other dogs, how there recall is, how they interact with people, if they are leash reactive, etc.
A typical day
I live very close to Shoreline Beach Trail in Alameda. So I can take a dog on good exercise where they will get a lot of interesting smells! I also love to play and casually hang out with pooches. I can also play fetch in my backyard.

Availability
I work from home full-time. I love having a dog as an excuse for me to get away from my office for a quick walk or to spend time in the backyard. I usually take dogs for a walk in the morning before my work day and after work, with sometimes a quick lunch walk or many back yard pee breaks during the day.
