Pet care experience

Dogs, Cats, Hamsters, Fish Oh My!

I have been dog walking and house sitting for family and friends since I was 12. I treat every animal and home as if it was my own. I provide food, water, exercise, play time, and cuddles. In homes, I take in mail/packages. I have experience taking care of dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and breads including my best friends 2 puppy huskies who are bigger than I am. Dogs often sit by my side for hours because they enjoy my pets and belly rubs. Due to my apartment complex’s pet restrictions, I have no dogs or cats of my own but I have plenty of love and experience taking care of pets for others. I eventually want to get a dog on my own and this is a great opportunity for me to gain more experience caring for one. In addition to caring for others dogs and cats, I have a hamster named Mouse that I feed, play with, spoil with treats, and make sure she has a clean cage. I love animals of all kinds and am open to servicing homes that have hamsters, Guinea pigs, turtles, and fish as well.

Sarah did an amazing job with an especially shy kitty! Poor thing had to move the furniture and run around the house to catch my cat to give him his medication. She kept a positive attitude the whole time.

Sarah is so wonderful! She always communicates, sends pictures, and takes great care of my cat. She is the best sitter and I’m so thankful to have her watch over my cat while I’m gone.

My extremely shy cat will interact with only 2 humans on the planet, and one of them is Sarah E.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I walk dogs as a hobby because I work full time in office 5 days a week in Lake Forest. I am available before work and I am typically done with work by 4PM to do walks or check ins on weekdays. While my availability is limited, I am reliable and trustworthy

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I will treat your pet and home like family. I will love your pet like my own providing food, water, exercise, and play time. In your home I will bring in packages leaving everything else just as you left it. I will send updates before, during, and after the visit for your awareness. And I will leave with nothing but a smile from being around an animal

Pets

A typical day

I am an active person who is not afraid to get on the floor to play with dogs. I love entertaining dogs with ropes, balls, and stuffed animals

I would like to know a little about your pets personality (shy, hyper, jumps, barks at strangers, etc). If any medicine needs to be administered. Typical schedule. Do they interact well with other animals or like to chase things? Do they take their time on walks and need to be nudged?
