Pet care experience

Writer, dog-lover, affection expert

I have fostered dogs for up to 4 months, have done home-stay sitting for geriatric doggie gentlemen, and have trained and looked after puppies. I love dogs so much it doesn't feel like work for me. I have lived with dogs for my whole life, and would be a particularly good fit for dogs that love attention and affection. I was lucky enough to have my own dog, Buffy, a sweet gentle jindo mix rescue, for 6 beautiful years before she crossed the rainbow bridge. Now that she’s gone, I am definitely missing having a dog in my life and have a lot of love to give to your special companion.

Great stay with Sarah! Junie was very comfortable and well cared for with Sarah. She provided lots of updates and was interested in ensuring things went smoothly.

Sarah was a lovely sitter! She sent daily updates with photos. And more importantly I felt super safe and reassured leaving my girl in her care. My pup was even a bit reluctant to leave at pickup! I hope to book with Sarah again in the future.

Sarah did an amazing job watching our dog Thelma. She gave great updates with photos. Thelma got plenty of walks and got to run around Sarah’s fenced backyard. We will contact Sarah if we need help again. Thanks!

Sarah was a great sitter. She took care of our dog for a weekend and we couldn't have been more pleased. Sarah sent us updates everyday including photos and videos. When we came home it was very clear that our dog had been well cared for. I highly recommend Sarah.

Sarah was an excellent doggie sitter for Vanilla, my English Golden Retriever. Vanilla believes she was in summer camp while her human parents went on vacation. While we were away for ten days, Sarah keep in touch to let us know how Vanilla was doing. Vanilla was cared for very well -- showered with love and affection. I would DEFINITELY use Sarah again!!!

Schedule

I am currently based at home in our house in Newcastle, so would be able to spend lots of time with your furry friend and give them walks around our beautiful neighborhood. Sometimes I need to be out of the house for work and responsibilities, so let me know how long they would be comfortable being alone at home.
