Reliable, animal-lover, flexible

Pet care experience

I have had large and small dogs all throughout my childhood. Dogs have always made my days brighter, and I absolutely love building a bond with new dogs. Growing up, all of my extended family had dogs and they relied on me for dog sitting. I am a huge animal lover and cannot wait to watch your dogs. I have been described as reliable, a good communicator, and attentive to animals needs by those who have used me as their sitter.

Sarah did a wonderful job house sitting and taking care of our nervous gal Rosie and cat Finn! The pictures were proof enough that we needed to get home or they would have been too spoiled! We will definitely try to connect with Sarah again in the near future.

Sarah does such a great job with our pups! They love spending time with her and she is very flexible with our schedule!

Sarah was great watching our aussie! Our dog is reactive with other dogs and knowing Sarah has experience with that reduced our anxiety about leaving her with a sitter. She sent me updates and pictures regularly. My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving our animals with her while we were away and will definitely trust her to do so again in the future :)

Although I will preferably not bring your dogs to my own home because I have pets of my own who like me all to themselves, I will give the best care to your pets. They will be more comfortable in their own home, and will have lots of attention.

Information Sarah D. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences. I will typically watch any animal as long as I have proper directions/preferences of that animal. Any medications/ requests will need to be noted ahead of time.

I love taking dogs for walks in any surrounding parks or trails. I provide a lot of playtime whether it be fetch, tug, or anything else they like!

I am currently completing my occupational therapy fieldwork placement, and therefore work full time (7-3). Pets must be able to stay alone for 8 hours. The time I am not working, I am available to spend time with your pets and give them all the attention they need! I will be staying the night in your home and provide proper care depending on individual needs.
