I'm a fulltime photographer currently in the off season. While I have shoots, they aren't every single day, so I have pretty good availability. Even if I have a session that day, it's only a couple of hours.

Safety, trust & environment

I'd work with my clients on what their usual routine is and replicate it to the best of my abilities. I have dogs, cats, rabbits, sugar gliders, and chickens, so I'm pretty experienced in giving the best to my clients.

Information Sarah H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the dog's temperament; are they sweet or sassy? Energetic or lazy? Happy go lucky or like when things go a certain way? Do they enjoy car rides? What are they afraid of? If I'm staying over, I would like to know their routine and what makes them happy.

A typical day

Depending on the location of the home, the dog and I could simply take a long walk around the neighborhood, or we could go on an adventure together to a local park: maybe even the beach! If they're a snoozer, I'm more than happy to binge watch Brooklyn 99 while giving them as many belly rubs as they need. My fiance loves dogs almost as much as I do, and he loves to come along and play with the dogs, too! Even dogs who are wary around men warm up to him almost immediately. He's a very sweet guy and loves to help get the energy out of the big dogs when one person giving them attention is not enough!

Professional animal snuggler

Pet care experience

There has never been a time in my life where I lived in a home without a dog. I currently live on a homestead with 22 animals! I absolutely love spending time with animals and my dream is to one day open up a wedding venue on a farm where couples can adopt rescue animals on their wedding day. I have cared for over 40 canine clients through Rover when I lived in Mechanicsburg, and I can't wait to care for even more now that I've moved to Ellendale. I'm going to really miss all my buddies I left behind in PA, so I'm looking forward to making new fluffy friends! On top of being a part time animal snuggler, I am a full time photographer. If you're looking for some Instagram worthy pics of your pooch, I could set up a mini-session during my stay!

I highly recommend Sarah to take care of your pet. After meeting her for the first time, we knew she was a perfect fit as she asked questions about our dog's needs and routine. Loved the pictures and updates she provided throughout the day. If we ever need a dog sitter again, Sarah will be our first pick. Thank you Sarah!

Sarah did a great job and was willing to learn how to give my cat fluids. I highly recommend her.
