Pet care experience

Reliable Pet Sitter in Mandarin

As a lifelong dog lover and trusted sitter for family and friends, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes. Whether your pup is a tiny adventurer or a gentle giant, I’ll ensure safe, structured walks (and always clean up afterward it’s part of being a responsible neighbor!). I prioritize routines, reinforce training basics, and adapt to your dog’s energy level, whether they want a brisk walk or a cozy couch day. With experience handling everything from playful puppies to laid-back seniors, I’ll treat your dog like family and keep you updated with peace-of-mind photos and messages. I am currently a graduate student at UNF in the CMHC program of Brooks College.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In Your Home: Follow your instructions exactly for crating, feeding, and routines,no deviations without your approval. Use owner-provided supplies (cleaners, toys, etc.) to avoid allergies or accidents. Secure gates/doors during walks or playtime to prevent escapes. Keep emergency contacts (you, vet, etc.) saved in my phone and posted visibly for quick access. For All Services: Crate-trained? No problem. I’ll maintain your pet’s routine and ensure they feel safe. Clean up accidents immediately using your preferred methods to protect floors and your pet’s health. Monitor food/water intake and watch for signs of stress or illness. Avoid hazards: No unapproved treats, unsafe toys, or interactions with other animals. Emergency Ready: I know the nearest 24/7 vet clinic and will act fast if needed.

Sarah always spoils our fur babies. They lose their minds with excitement when they see her. It makes leaving them behind a little easier on us and they are actually happy to see us go!

Very happy we found Sarah. She stayed with our two pups and kept us informed all throughout our getaway. She was responsive and followed our instructions—asking clarifying questions to be sure she was doing as we requested. I don’t want to tell everyone how wonderful she was because I want to keep her to ourselves!

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs I need to be aware of before visiting.
