About Sarah E.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog🐶 and cat🐯 deserve special attention to their specific personality and health. Our pets are individuals. We can sometimes predict the behaviour of certain breeds, but they always have their own personality based on their experiences with their environment. I offer loose-leash walks and training support services. I'm not certified as a trainer or behaviour consultant but I do understand quite a bit from studying and hands-on practice and experience working as an Assistant Trainer in group Puppy and Teen Dog classes as well as Interning as an Assistance Dog Trainer I am currently working on a Practitioner Certification for Tellington TTouch which combines gentle bodywork with loose leash handling techniques, equipment and ground work (a multi-sensory experience). It is a proven method to bring dogs into balance physically through movement and activating the cells in their nervous system. Dogs who lack confidence and behave aggressively out of fear benefit greatly from these exercises.

A typical day
Personal-2-YOU means I listen to what you need. You know your pets best. I'm here to be the extra hands, feet and heart you've been wishing for! While I stay with your pet I will do whatever is best for them. If they need me to stay, I will stay. If they need me to leave for a few hours during the day I will leave. I will always stay overnight when you book a House Sit. When you book a Walk I always schedule an extra 10 mins in front and 5 minutes at the end of a booking for preparation and drop off. I’m actually there 45 minutes for a 30-minute walk and one hour and 15 minutes for a one-hour walk.

Pet care experience
It's tough to find good reliable pet care for your precious fur babies. When I was in Vancouver 15 years ago with my Lab Samoyed, Bubba, I had a tough time too! This is why I am committed to working with you and your pets to create a safe space where you both are empowered in confidence instead of anxious and afraid. My intention is always for you to have peace of mind when you can't be with them. I have been a full-time pet care provider since Jan 2018. I started in South Delta, moving in Jan 2023 to Abbotsford, Mission and Chilliwack. Studying animal behaviour, and relating it to your pets and assistance dogs is so satisfying I can't stop! Every day I look forward to meeting new pet families who appreciate building deeper relationships with their pets. PS> If my rates seem too much for you right now please reach out and let me know. I am open to creative solutions such as combining bookings with neighbours to bring the cost down… that sort of thing. Please please message me to ask what I’m willing to accept before scrolling to the less expensive option.

Reviews
Sarah was amazing. She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated the whole time. She left the house tidy and kept the dogs exercised and entertained. Really grateful to have found a responsible pet sitter I can trust! Thank you so much :)
Sarah handled everything very professionally, I felt confident in leaving my boys with her! I received updates and photos and she even tidied the kitchen for me. 10/10 recommended, thank you so much :)
Sarah was amazing! Lots of communication back-and-forth, including pictures which was very much appreciated! They’re not the easiest to take care of so I have very much appreciated her care and attention
Sarah kept us up to date with Mushu. The house was clean and tidy when we got home. Sarah even left lights on outside and inside which was very welcoming. Thanks again and a job well done. Definitely will ask Sarah again the next time we go away.
