Pet care experience
I worked in veterinary medicine for 7 years at two different emergency animal hospitals in Calgary (one that treated birds, reptiles, rabbits and pocket pets in addition to cats and dogs). For 3 years I worked for a veterinary oncologist treating canine and feline cancer and supporting paw-rents through these diagnoses. I hold a diploma in veterinary assisting (2014). I am trained in canine and feline husbandry, and canine behaviour. I am confident caring for dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, reptiles, birds and pocket pets. I excel at working with dogs that require extra time warming up, struggle in certain environments, are withdrawn or scared, or have been known to act aggressively.
Cat care experience
Sarah also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Sarah was wonderful! She was very calm and gentle with our somewhat fearful, unconfident dog, and by the end of her three visits with him he really liked her. She is very knowledgeable about dogs, & provided exercise and enrichment in the form of some dog puzzles on one very cold day. She even leant us a dog harness because we had forgotten ours. We will definitely try to book Sarah again when we are next in Fernie.
Sarah was excellent with Breezy from her first meeting with her. Obviously very experienced with dogs. Great prompt communication. Would not hesitate to have her back to walk Breezy. Thank you!
Echo had a fantastic time and I really appreciated the focus on long leash recall and socialization as well as the communication throughout the visit. Echo had only met Sarah once briefly but was super happy to see her which eases my mind.
Sarah F. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.

Safety, trust & environment
I am very diligent to cater to the specific needs of different breeds, ages, level of activity and temperaments. I am able to determine a potential health concern or danger to your pet from my experience in emergency vet care. My home is 100% pet proof (a necessary part of having owned a beagle!) and I can ensure your furry family member is monitored closely!
Information Sarah F. would like to know about your pet
The more information the better! Food sensitivities, reactivity, no go petting zones, etc. I can supply a detailed questionnaire regarding your dog or cat at your request!
A typical day
Your furry friend will enjoy mentally stimulating toys and activities, and as much exercise as they require based on their activity level and personality. I use many different trails and areas of Fernie for my walks and am diligent to allow time to inspect the pee-mail along the way! I am constantly reading about all of the new ways to engage dogs and cats to prevent boredom and stress.
