Pet care experience

Caring, passionate, respectful.

Hello! My name is Sarah, and I have been caring for dogs for many years, and have had experience working at shelters as well as training. At the moment I do not offer walks, but I am more than happy to play games, brush, or otherwise spend time with your furry friend! Things I can do during drop in visits- potty breaks, play, continue any light training you want me to do with them, clean litterboxes, give meals as instructed, brush if the pet enjoys it, or feel free to message me if you have other needs! I am experienced in various dog sizes, breeds, temperaments, and behaviors. I have handled everything from puppies to adult Great Danes and German Shepherds. I do not have any breed fears or concerns. I am experienced in handling diabetic puppies, I have experience with aged pups, strict diets, and dogs with difficulty eating, and I will remain respectful of your home, lifestyle, and needs! I am more than happy to carry on any training or activities you have with your pups during my time with them! Currently, I provide drop-in only services. I do require meet-and-greets in advance to ensure we're a good match and for safety purposes! Currently offering drop ins for the greater Mankato area, Eagle Lake, St Peter, St Claire, and Janesville. I can't wait to hear from you, -Sarah

Safety, trust & environment

For my drop-in visits, I very much hold the view that I am there to provide for the needs and comfort of your pets. I prefer to stick to client instructions on their pets as much as possible. I am happy to take your pup out to the fenced yard, or keep them on a leash, whatever is the best for your individual situation! Any treats or toys I prefer to keep consistent so that nothing is jarring for the dog or cat I am caring for.

Boarding • avr. 07, 2019

This was one of the first times we left our dog with someone besides family or friends. Sarah was awesome. From the first meeting it was clear that she is very passionate about dogs and caring form them. Her communication throughout the stay was excellent and there is no doubt our dog was very well cared for while we were gone. She went above and beyond to make sure our dog, Gunner was comfortable and went out of her way to help make sure he was comfortable and happy! We will absolutely be looking for Sarah in the future whenever we need a dog sitter!

Sarah did great with our puppy for 9 days. She let us know twice a day on how he was doing and provided pictures. She took him out for walks everyday too! I recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.

I highly recommend Sarah! She did a great job taking care Max and kept us updated with plenty of pictures. We are looking forward to boarding Max with her again for our upcoming trip.

There are not enough stars to show how great Sarah is. As fur parents, we were anxious to leave Decker with anyone other than family. When we planned a family vacation and heard of Rover.com we were very hesitant. We did a meet and greet with Sarah in her home and knew he would be in great hands. Decker needed insulin twice a day for his diabetes and knowing she had experience in administrating medication, made it all the better. She not only made us comfortable leaving Decker, but she also sent updates and photos letting us know how he was doing. We will definitely reach out to her again if we need Decker to be watched.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs

Things I need to know about your pet: Are there any medical needs? Are they potty-trained, or will I need to be able to clean up potential accidents? Are there any behavioral quirks such as resource guarding or stranger danger? If it's a cat are there any concerns about door management/escape artistry? If dog, is the dog crated or free roam when I arrive? Will you need me to crate them when I leave?
