Pet care experience
I was the proud owner of a wonderful 5-year-old Australian Shepherd who brought immense joy into the lives of everyone she met. Together, we conquered basic training and delved into the world of rally activities and cherished long hikes together. Sadly, she is no longer with us, reminding me of the profound love we share with our pets. Now, I'm navigating the joys of raising a 14-week-old puppy and a playful 6-month-old cat, embracing the unique bond each brings. As a lifelong dog lover, I've had my fair share of watching, walking, and training experiences, and each one has left an indelible mark on my heart.
Reviews
Sarah is amazing. She came and spent time with our Mackie everyday and it was such a stress relief. Mackie has some separation issues and holiday schedules had her spending long days solo. Sarah was on time and Mackie loved her. Great walks, fetch sessions, lots of love. I cannot not recommend her highly enough.
Sarah does an amazing job watching my cats. She sends me photos and spends time with them while I’m away. 100% would recommend Sarah to watch your furbabies!
Sarah is an incredible sitter. Her love for animals just shines through - you can see it when she first meets your dog, and in the loving way she shares their adventures. Speaking of adventures, she owns a huge spot of property where your pup can explore with her new buddy, Birch! Birch is just as accommodating as Sarah! Besides all of this, Sarah lives directly on the doorstep of Yosemite. So, if you’re about to go on a humans only adventure in the park, Sarah is your sitter.
Sarah is a great dog sitter! She is trustworthy, communicative, patient, and will tire your pup out. She has watched my border collie(s) before for several days, and they were well taken care of, with their high energy selves, and one of which is essentially scared of everything (she made very comfortable and fed her the multiple supplements with ease). They love playing with her dog, who is an absolute doll too. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone in the area who is looking for a great dog sitter and I will certainly use her again in the future.

When entrusted with the care of your beloved pets in the comfort of their own home, I approach each dog walking and pet check-in with the utmost dedication and responsibility. Understanding that every furry friend has unique needs and preferences, I tailor my approach to cater to their individual requirements. Whether it's a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or a full check-in to ensure their well-being, I prioritize their safety, happiness, and overall health. Beyond the basics, I make it a point to engage with them, providing companionship and affection during my visits. Also regular updates and clear communication are provided with you, the pet parent, is an essential aspect of my service, ensuring you have peace of mind knowing that your pets are in caring and capable hands. Your pets' comfort and contentment are my top priorities, making each visit an opportunity to create a positive and enjoyable experience for them. I am also comfortable in all training methods and will ensure your pupper stays on track with their current training.
Information Sarah G. would like to know about your pet
Anything you would like to tell me about you pet would be great! I love to know the things they love and fear, plus any habits I need to re-enforce while your fur-baby is in my care. Example: "Love to chew shoes. Not a counter surfer, but will go after coffee table level snacks. Needs to sit and stay before being let outside an open door. Always gets scared by the yellow house on walks."
A typical day
As a walking and pet check-in service provider, my goal is to keep your furry companions entertained, engaged, and well-cared for. Here are some fun activities I incorporate during my pet check-ins: Playtime and Cuddles: Spending quality time engaging in play, whether it's with toys, interactive games, or simply providing some one-on-one cuddle time, helps to build a bond and alleviate any feelings of loneliness. Treat Hunt: Creating a mini treasure hunt by hiding treats along the route adds an element of excitement and engages their natural scavenging instincts. Nature Exploration: Incorporating different routes with varying scents and textures allows pets to explore and stimulates their senses, turning the walk into an adventure. Enrichment Toys: Introducing puzzle feeders, lick mats or interactive toys can keep pets mentally stimulated, providing a challenge that taps into their natural instincts. Gentle Exercise: For pets that enjoy a bit of physical activity, short indoor play sessions or a brief stroll around the backyard can help burn off energy and keep them active. Training Sessions: Incorporating basic training exercises not only reinforces good behavior but also provides mental stimulation. It can be as simple as practicing commands like sit, stay, or shake. Interactive Apps or Videos: Some pets respond well to interactive apps designed for animals, or videos featuring birds, fish, or other animals that can capture their attention. Grooming and Pampering: A gentle brushing session or a relaxing massage can be a soothing experience for pets, making them feel pampered and cared for. Daily Updates: Keeping pet owners informed with updates, photos, or short videos of their furry friends during each check-in provides peace of mind and allows them to share in the joy of their pet's day. By combining these activities, I strive to make each pet check-in an enjoyable and positive experience, tailored to the unique preferences and needs of the pets in my care.

I mostly work from home, and if I am not home I am in a pet-friendly 174 acer forest just 2-miles from my house, so I am always around or nearby! I get plenty of breaks to play fetch, go for walks and have a bit of cuddle time with my furry friends. When I am away, it is never for long and normally ends with treats for all~
