I love animals!
Pet care experience
I have always had a dog and cat in my life (and still do!). I have trained two golden retrievers and one was awarded canine good citizenship. I love being around animals and I have a caring nature. Now that my kids are getting older, I thought dog walking and cat sitting would be a great fit for my down time and in my flex time from working at home. I would love to give your pet some snuggles, snacks or take them on a good walk so you can have a relaxing night. Some people think you have to either be a "dog person" or a "cat person". Not me! They both have a place in my heart for very different reasons. Cats take some time, but I love their comforting purr, the playfulness of spunky kittens petting their soft fur. Dogs on the other hand are so loving and silly. They are eager to please and I just want to make them happy when their owners are away.
Reviews
Sarah was great, we will definitely use her again. We received pictures and notes with each visit.
I recommend Sarah without reservation. She is prompt, courteous, and flexible when schedule changes become necessary. Most importantly, my puppy loves her walks with Sarah! Each day, Reese watches for Sarah in the window, eagerly waiting for her to arrive!
Sarah made herself available to us last minute to drop in on our senior citizen kitty. We really appreciated her great service!
I’m so thankful to have Sarah look after my cat while I’m out of town knowing she’s loved and well taken care of! Thank you for everything, Sarah!!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have used crates with my own pets during training and I will follow whatever safety instructions are needed. I understand all collars, how to avoid run ins with feisty dogs and other concerns you may have. I know how to troubleshoot dogs that like to find hiding spots or have the ability to slip out of the door. I am 40+ and I am raising tweens at this point, so I have a little wisdom under me that other walkers may not have at this point. I am also trustworthy. I have a great full-time job coupled with flexibility. I just want to combine my love of pets with a little extra income.
Information Sarah G. would like to know about your pet
Let me know what your dog likes so I can get to know them. Sometimes they can point to where their favorite treat is at, but if medication is involved, I definitely want to know ahead of time.
A typical day
My current golden retriever is 2 and he LOVES long walks and playing. I know how to wear out any dog. I will go on long walks and depending on what your dog likes, we will walk fast or stroll and smell every leaf. I can play fetch or tug of war. I love zoomies! Same with any cat! I know how to let them lead and show me what they like. If it is playing with toys or just simple petting, I am their person.

Availability
I am typically available in the afternoons as long as I don’t have a meeting scheduled (I work from home) and most evenings are available. Weekends are the best time to book care if you will be out for soccer games, dinner or long evening plans. I have kids as well and I have used Rover for 6+ years on my own pets. I am excited to return the favor to you now that my kids are older.
