Pet care experience
ANNOUNCEMENT: I am retired from Dog sitting. It has been a privilege to watch so many pups who touched my life. Thank you for the joy they have brought. Feel free to reach out and send updates. Watching your pups was such a joy. I am a dog LOVER and ADVOCATE. I have worked at an animal rescue and have done research/training with pet care for years, as well as, owning dogs and cats most of my life. I have seen so many smiling and loving furbabies of all kinds of breeds and will not discriminate against any. My heart is huge and I have gained much experience with all types of unwanted rescues who dealt with anxiety, aggression, and fear. I aim to create an environment of calm and structure to establish safety and trust. Then, I give LOTS of love and care. Basically, I can handle difficult pets with behavioral issues due to my background with the rescue shelter and with having rescues of all types of behaviors from their own backgrounds. I have rehabilitated and trained many animals with all kinds of needs. Everything is CUSTOMIZABLE to what your dog needs. If the dog is used to a crate or whole room or room with no furniture and if a dog bed or sleeping in a human's bed it is up to the owner. We have it all! OTHER EXPERIENCE: I have had dogs in the past to have fear-aggression and was able to rehabilitate them to be calm towards strangers and to other canines. I believe in nurturing and giving attention to each pet. I understand what separation does to us and our precious canines and know how important it is to give them the affection they need. MY HOUSE: Consists of a dining room/living room, four bedrooms, a large Florida converted to a doggy play area, and a larger fenced back yard. MY DOGS: The dogs I have are currently described as very happy. They are mid aged to senior so they’re pretty mellow. I facilitate calmness and boundaries. I have created an environment where they feel safe and loved.

Reviews

I am going back to New York. I only wish Sarah would be in New York too. That you Sarah. Your the best.


We have worked with Sarah multiple times now in several years. She’s incredibly professional, caring and trustworthy. Highly recommend!!

I can't say enough about that sweet girl. I wish I could take her home with me.

She is awesome. I have no worries when I leave my baby Guinness with her.
About Sarah R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I like to keep to the routine of the pet as much as possible. The more I can alleviate his or her anxiety in a new environment, the better. Whatever the dog or cat needs, I want to be conscious of it.
Information Sarah R. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences, just in love with all animals. I want to make sure that every pet's needs and routine are met to alleviate any separation anxiety from their parents and that they feel loved.
A typical day
Playing catch (usually whatever dog's play preference), throwing squeaky toys (under supervision), roaming in a fenced yard, attention, and belly rubs. They love going outside. During Florida summer, they often quickly come back inside, except for one who likes to sunbathe. With the kitties, it's usually lots of pets and playing with toys they can chase.
Services
Sarah can watch in your home
Availability
I work a freelance job remote flex schedule, so I can schedule time into my day pretty easily. Flexibility is helpful but I love being accomodating when making sure we get scheduled in for every pet walk or visit.
