Lions, Tigers, and Bears!
Pet care experience
Since my first dog at age 12, I've cared for more animals than I can count on two hands! Whether it be house sitting for a cat that's wary of strangers, walking a dog that wants to loop the block just one more time, or even herding chickens back into their coop, I pride myself in caring for animals in ways tailored to their individual needs, allowing them to feel safe and respected in their own space. I also have experience house sitting for several multi-pet households, so if you're looking for someone who can handle your wily dog, two cats, parakeets, and hamster all at once, I've got you covered! [PS: The phrase "Lions, Tigers, and Bears" is utilized herein exclusively as a common turn-of-phrase and not intended in a literal sense. I cannot provide care for lions, tigers, and/or bears. I can, however, provide questions, such as, "what is a tiger doing in your house?"]
Reviews
Sarah was kind and attentive. She did a wonderful job. The dogs loved her. Will be using her again.
Sarah is literally the sweetest and most considerate human being l've ever met. My pups Luna and Koda adore Sarah. Every time Sarah comes over she immediately steps outside with my dogs and gives them all the attention and excitement they desire. If my dogs have an accident in the house Sarah jumps right into action to help clean up. I can always count on Sarah to be there to help.

Safety, trust & environment
I like to ask clients about their pet's regular play and feeding schedule so I can stick to a routine the animals are familiar with. The predictability helps put them at ease, and I've found it is especially appreciated by high anxiety pets. If play and walks aren't featured in the routine as much as you would like, though, rest assured that your animals will have my full attention while they're in my care, and we'll be sure to have some fun, especially if you have any special activities in mind!
Information Sarah G. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I can account for - I'm always happy to accommodate in any way that I can!
A typical day
For playtime, I love a good game of fetch and taking walks if there's time! My go-to cat toy is usually the fishing pole look-alike - I enjoy puppeting it around like a small animal. Whenever the energy needs to come down, I let pets choose a space to settle, and then I sit in the room with them. I set up a quiet activity for myself to give them the option of space, and if they decide that pets are in order, I'm always happy to oblige!

Availability
I work part time at the moment, so I have plenty of time for petting and play! My schedule changes from week to week, but I'm reliably available at least every Sunday, Tuesday, and after 4:30 pm on most week nights.
