Lifelong Pet Owner! 🐾 Pet Lover!

Pet care experience

I have been caring for animals in my house and other houses since I was a little kid. I have plenty of experience caring and walking for old and young pets. I am friendly, reliable, a great communicator and trustworthy when it comes to caring for pets. I will give your pets the same love, care and attention I give my own. I live in a house with 2 dogs, 3 cats, birds and fish. I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I love animals! I have had small and medium sized pets growing up. All my friends have pets and breeds of all sizes and types. I am very comfortable working with all types of pets with all types of needs. I will walk any pet type. I will follow any requirements you have while walking and caring for your pet. I will send you as many pictures and updates as you want so you know your pet is in good hands. For example, I record how many times your pet has pooped or peed. After the walk, Rover sends you a report card of pictures, videos, notes, updates I recorded along with a map of the location and distance I walked your pet. I am available Monday thru Thursday every week after 3:30pm. I live in South Utica NY and will travel up to 20 miles with CNY area. I am always available and can come last minute for pet drop in visits. Services I offer: 🐾 🦮🐕‍🦺🐩🐕 🦴Pet Walking Solo or Group (up to 5 pets max & discounts apply if you have 4 or more pets) 🦴Pet Drop In Visits 🦴Will work with any breed pet type 🦴Will work with special needs pets 🦴Insured 🦴Available Mon-Thurs anytime after 3:30pm for pet walking & drop in visits. Fridays are saved as a back up rain days ☔️ for appts cancelled Mon-Thur due to extreme weather conditions. I do also offer Pet Drop in Visits on some weekend-days! 📍Utica, NY / Servicing Central NY Area! I have the following promotions: 1) If you refer a friend and they use me for at least 3 walks or pet drop in’s you get 1 free walk 2) If you refer a friend and they use my every week, you get 1 free walk or pet drop in every month 3) I have a multi leash where I can walk up to 5 pets. Every pet added is only an additional $5 per walk. If you have 4 or more pets, every other pet after the 4th pet is free. I also use a few pet walking accessories. They are the following: 1) I wear clothing that indicates I am a pet walker so your neighbor doesn’t wonder why I am walking your pet 2) I have a pet water bottle 3) I wear both a shoulder leash and fanny flap leash around my waist for hands free walking so I can pay better attention when walking your pet. Both leash ends have a 360 carabiner for easier maneuverability for me and the pet. 4) I have a leash extension with multi grip handles for bigger pets. I also use a big leash so pets can comfortably roam big grassy fields without hassle making the most of their beloved walks! 5) I use a headlight for night walks 6) I carry a squeaker toy in case I need to distract the pet 7) I carry a loud sound maker in case another pet attacks 8) I have cool collars and vests for small and medium size pets in the summer time for those that like to wear clothing. I have reusable ice cube inserts for the cool collars and pet vests. I am comfortable going to a clients home. I love working with all pet types and all ages. I prefer to service Central NY area. I am available all year round! I am an experienced pet walker. My goal is to promote superior pet health by providing pet walking and pet drop in services for busy pet owners. On pet walks or pet drop in’s, I go above and beyond to keep your pet engaged. I keep all pets happy, healthy throughout their walks and throughout their time spent with me! I also assist Animal Rescue Partners and others with Pet Adoption by helping with internet advertisements so the pet can find a new pet parent quickly!

The coolest vests that Sarah provides allow my pups to keep exercising during the summer. I never thought of these myself, such a great idea !

Safety, trust & environment

I walk my clients in their home neighborhood and walk routes they are familiar with and walk often with their owners. I do not take any pet to neighborhoods they have never been too before.

Information Sarah G. would like to know about your pet

I am willing to work with all pet types and ages. I have no breed preferences. I have worked with baby pets to senior pets with special needs. I will give medicine to pets and do whatever the owner requests. I need to know if I need to do anything specific for the pet and also given a general overview of the pet’s behavior and personality. For example if your pet has separation anxiety issues, how your pet reacts to new pets on the walk or if your pet has allergies so I can accommodate them. Also I need to know any behavior issues I have to deal with and any medicine I need to administer while your pet is in my care. If you choose me to take care of your pet I am someone who genuinely cares. I go above and beyond and without a doubt your pet will be in great hands with me!

A typical day

I can go on long or short walks. For pet drop in’s, I can play any game type with a pet, for example like catch. I usually like to walk in neighborhoods with sidewalks and trees for shade that are also near parks. However, I will walk wherever the owner wants me to walk their pet.
