A piece of mind while your away
Pet care experience
About this sitter: I completely understand wanting to keep your dog in a comfortable, familiar place while your away, because I feel that way about my dog. My dog and myself will travel to you to take care of your dog's individual needs and to make sure that they are comfortable and loved while your away. I work Mon- Fri, so I am not available during the day. Do to the fact that I live in an apartment I can only watch small to medium size dogs. I do require that new clients set up a meet and greet more than 1 week before the requested stay. This is just to insure that you have time to find another sitter in case the dogs do not get along. Why I love dog sitting I have grown up with dogs; my grandparents always had dogs, and my parents got us our first dog when I was a teenager and I started dog sitting about 5 years ago for a friend. I love how dogs make you feel; constantly loved, and they have the ability to make you smile. Meet my pets Watson, a 16 lb feist mix, was roughly 2 years old when I rescued him in July 2013. He is friendly but does not play with other dogs. He tends to do better with dogs bigger than himself, but is okay with dogs his size or smaller. About my yard N/A My experience administering medication My dog is on anxiety medication, which I give to him daily. If it is something I have to inject, I would require a lesson before hand.
Reviews
Excellent, trustworthy sitter. Great quick communication. Lydia loved her stay!
Sarah was great. This is the first time we used a non-family member to care for our dogs. They loved her and her dog, Watson. She even got our finicky dog, Max, to eat. It was also so nice to get the periodic updates and pictures. When we got home, the house was neat and clean. It was a good experience and easy to arrange. Thanks, Sarah and Watson.
Sarah is great!! She kept us updated on things, sent us pictures are our dogs. We knew we hired the right sitter. I would definitely use Sarah again
Sarah was great! Basker took right to her and copied up in the chair with her. We would definitely use Sarah again and highly recommend her.

Information Sarah J. would like to know about your pet
I live in an apartment, so I would rather a small dog mostly do to space. Before I take on a dog I would like to meet them and make sure that they will be okay with my dog. I will need to know if the dog has any allergies, is on any medication, or has any special quirks.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks I walk the dog around my apartment complex. Your dog's sleeping arrangement My dog sleeps in my bed. So I am comfortable letting your dog sleep in my bed, if that is the norm. However if they are use to sleeping in a crate or on a separate bed, please provide those and that is where they will sleep. Time I'll spend with your dog Because I work during the day Mon- Fri and I cannot easily get home for lunch I will not take dogs in then. I will be spending the entire day Sat and Sun with them.
