I work as a family-based therapist, which gives me a flexible schedule. This allows me to spend more time with animals, whether it’s walking, caring for, playing with, or training them. My job provides me the opportunity to balance my professional responsibilities with my passion for animals, ensuring that I can give your pets the attention and care they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

In terms of safety, trust, and environment, I prioritize creating a secure and comfortable space for pets in my home or my clients' homes. For in-home care, I have a fenced yard that provides a safe area for pets to play and explore. I also use room separators to ensure that pets remain in designated areas, and I have kennels available if needed for their comfort and security. I come prepared with my own leashes and have prior experience handling various situations to ensure the pets' safety. This allows me to guide pets effectively and manage any potential challenges that may arise. My focus is always on creating a trustworthy environment where pets feel at ease while receiving the care they need.

Information Sarah E. would like to know about your pet

Some information that may be beneficial for me to know depending on services provided: 1. Temperament: How does the pet behave around strangers and other animals? 2. Leash Behavior: Does the pet pull on the leash, or are they well-behaved during walks? 3. Exercise Needs: How much exercise does the pet require daily? 4. Health Considerations: Are there any health issues or medications I should be aware of? 5. Feeding Schedule: What is the pet’s feeding routine and dietary preferences? 6. Favorite Activities: What activities or toys does the pet enjoy? 7. Socialization: How does the pet interact with other pets and people? 8. Commands and Training: Are there specific commands the pet responds to? This information will help ensure that I can provide the best care and experience for your pet!

A typical day

Every pet is unique and has varying needs when it comes to socialization, fun, and overall health and care. I would tailor activities to meet these specific needs, such as regular walks, engaging scent activities, and informal training sessions to reinforce already learned skills. While I’m not a professional animal trainer, I recognize that every interaction with the pet can influence their behavior and help establish healthy routines, habits, and expectations. Additional engagement options include playing with toys, allowing free time in an enclosed yard, playing fetch, enjoying water play during warm weather, and facilitating playtime with other dogs if they get along well. Each of these activities contributes to a happy and well-adjusted pet!

Pet care experience

I have extensive pet experience, having owned both cats and dogs throughout my life. Currently, I'm raising two shepherds and three cats. I've trained my own pets and have also helped family members with training. Additionally, I've provided care for pets while their owners are on vacation, ensuring they receive the love and attention they need. My hands-on experience with various breeds makes me well-equipped to care for your furry friends!

Sarah was outstanding in her care of our four small dogs. She was communicative throughout the planning process and sent many updates during the time she cared for them. Absolutely recommend her to others!
