Home full time and avid hiker :)

Pet care experience

I am pretty much available full-time at the moment and have had a dog since I was 7 months old. I currently co-parent a pitbull mix named Taco. I have experience with training, sitting, and walking dogs. I have dealt with "difficult" dogs or ones with some behavioral issues so there is no challenge too big for me. I have had twenty pound lap dogs and eighty pound pitbulls. Every dog is my furry friend and I truly find joy in caring for them. My sister currently has three rescue dogs of varying temperaments who I regularly sit for. I do enjoy hiking and can work with dogs who have very high energy. But I'm very good at laying on the couch and giving lots of love and petting too!

Sarah was great. Place was clean and poodles we’re happy! We got lots of pictures and texts which made us feel more relaxed and we could really enjoy our vacation. We will definitely use her again.

Sarah was reliable and sweet. She kept me updated with photos and texts, and when I returned home it was spotless and all the little things I needed done in my absence were done. You can't expect more than that! Thanks so much, Sarah. I would definitely recommend Sarah to any other pet owner.

Sarah is amazing! If I could give her 10 stars I would. Sarah was kind enough to attend a meet and greet with us and our dogs to make sure we would be a good fit before we hired her. She is prompt, friendly, and super comfortable with large dogs. One of our dogs is very people reluctant and she took to Sarah right away. Our other dog is overly friendly (jumping and pushy) and Sarah dealt with her like an expert. We are a work from home family and our dogs are used to having someone home most of the time. Sarah was a perfect fit for what we needed. She stayed at our house, was honest and forthcoming about her other obligations for dog walking, had no problem with having to come over crazy early the morning of our departure, and made a point of learning our dogs routines, feeding schedules, rules, and activities. As luck would have it, our shy dog got ill with stomach issues 2 days before we left and had to be put on medication. She is very difficult to trick into taking medicine and I had to task poor Sarah with giving her medicine twice a day. Sarah not only had no issues getting her to take her medicine but taught me a peanut butter trick that I will be forever grateful for. To add to Sarah's list of our dog craziness, our other dog does not like to eat and Sarah was very patient and communicative in making sure she ate each day. On top of all of the daily responsibilities she also made sure the pups had plenty of morning outdoor time and indoor play time while it was hot. Sarah was wonderful at communicating and sending me pictures and videos of ours girls at least once a day. It was very comforting to see them happy and well cared for. Sarah left our home in perfect condition and sparkling clean. We came home to comfortable, well loved, happy dogs and I am so thankful we found Sarah. We will be using her for all of our future dog sitting needs and I can't recommend her highly enough.

I can sit any size dog, but I do live in an apartment so can only board small to medium dogs.

A typical day

There are lots of hiking trails by my house which I frequent weekly. There are two nice outdoor areas in my apartment complex for quick bathroom breaks, and I'm a master of fetch and butt scratches. :)
