Experienced foster and dog walker

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Sarah and I love pets! I have experience with all kinds of pets from dogs to cats to snakes to horses. I have grown up with dogs and cats for my entire life, and about five years ago, I began to take over the majority of the responsibility of caring for my pup. I have had experience with young puppies all the way through old dogs. I am comfortable around all breeds, and I am an avid supporter of the bully breeds; I actually adopted a young pitty about two years ago. These past few months, I have been a foster for dogs of various breeds and sizes. I will follow any and all instructions given to me, check in if I have any questions or concerns, and send pictures and updates during and after my time with your pets. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you are away from your babies, which is why I make it my duty to treat them like family and make them feel comfortable and at home regardless of how long you're gone for. I've had copious experience with administering oral medication as my old dog was heart worm positive and some cats I have watched needed oral medication. I have a lot of energy that needs to be expelled throughout the day, and so does your pup. That's why I'm here to keep your pup in shape if you want me to, or snuggle up on the couch with older and arthritic dogs. I also have experience with deaf, blind, and anxious animals and know how to behave around them to make them feel as comfortable and loved as possible. I don't mind cleaning up after puppies or kitties if they have an accident (it happens to the best of us), and will let you know at the end of the stay if you wish to know. I am strong and assertive when it comes to walking eager dogs. I only believe in positive reinforcement, and am strongly opposed to reprimanding a pup for any reason. My dog is currently at home, and I am just looking for a pup fix, and I am willing to help out my community to the best of my ability. Let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.

Information Sarah H. would like to know about your pet

If you have any specific instructions for me please tell me at the meet and greet or before. I would also like to know your pets behavior around other animals (for dog walking), anxiety issues, arthritis, oral medications, feeding times, or any other special needs so I can treat them as if they were my own

A typical day

I love going on hikes, walking on the c&o canal tow path, and walking through neighborhoods. Basically I love exploring, and I love doing it with a four legged friend or two by my side. If your dog is uncomfortable around other dogs or in new settings, I will follow a previously discussed walking route so they feel safe. I am also comfortable taking them on a drive to the closest dog park or going for a swim in a nearby creek (I would clean them up afterwards). If your pup enjoys running, that's awesome because so do I. I love running with my pup when I'm home and I know how to control energetic, eager, and curious dogs in a manner that is safe and respectable for other dogs and your pup. I also have played softball for a few years, and I love getting in more practice, so if retrieving is your pups favorite activity, that would be awesome as well! I love dogs and cats and I just want to make their day a little brighter and as comfortable as possible while you're away. I also know how hard it is for some dogs to really come out of their shell, especially if they're anxious or nervous around new people, and I will do my best to connect with the pup, however if at the meet and greet, it does not seem like a good fit, I will be completely honest and tell you that it might be best to look for another sitter. As for cats, I love the little balls of fur, and will pet and snuggle with them all day if you'll let me! I have two cats at home and I know how different their personalities can be, and treat each animal as an individual.
