And if needed between 6:00-6:30 AM, though this is not preferred. I do have lots of breaks over holidays, and the summer time, so always feel free to reach out and ask.

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure that your home is in a good, clean, safe condition for your pet. I’m happy to sweep or clean up any messes created by your pet while your gone. It’s important for them to be in a clean environment, so I take that part seriously. I will always respect your property and belongings. Only with your permission and instruction would I touch or use anything in your home. I know how worrisome leaving behind your furry family can be, so know that you can trust me to care for and love your pet as well as make sure your home is in the same condition you left it in.

Information Sarah D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know how your pet is! What they like, dislike, if they like to be left alone or get all my attention. Let me know what toys they like or their quirks. Of course and dietary restrictions or guidelines will be essential for me to know, including medications and supplements.

A typical day

I love to spoil your pet while you’re gone to hopefully make them feel more comfortable with me and the situation! That might include treats and playtime, time in the yard, or if you book me for my dog walking service. If that’s being left alone that is fine too! My favorite things are giving pets lots of love and attention.

Pet care experience

I am a cat person and have had cats since I can remember! I love their personalities and I absolutely let them take the lead! Meaning if they want to be cuddled or not even touched at all , I will respect that. I love dogs too! I’ve taken care of small and large dogs since I was a teen. Taking them on walks, playing with them, feeding them and making sure they feel comfortable around me. I know how much your pet means to you, and I will use that same amount of care and love whenever I come see your adorable companion. I have minimal experience with training dogs, I helped my dad train my two labs as a kid and remember some basics. I’d bathe, walk and do whatever else is needed to make your pet feel comfortable while you’re gone.

Sarah was soo great with the boys! They seemed to have really enjoyed her company, and were both very relaxed when we got back home. She was very good about communication, and great with the updates. We really appreciate her help, and will definitely consider her the next time!
