Pet care experience

Grad student & pet lover

I do all sorts of pet sitting, but specialize in small dogs. I have experience caring for older dogs (and big personalities), giving medication, and handling separation anxiety. Recently adopted a chihuahua who is very classic chihuahua but does like other dogs - makes her more confident!

Sarah is the best. My very shy, elderly dog loves her. She sends regular updates and pictures, so you’re never wondering how your dog is doing

Energy level so I can account for time! Exercise routine, whether they’d be happy curled up next to me while I work or are more high energy.
