About Sarah J.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
As a pet sitter who provides care for pets in my home, I take their well-being very seriously. When pets stay with me, I make sure they have access to fresh water at all times and that they are fed according to their regular schedule and dietary needs. I also ensure that they get plenty of exercise by taking them for walks. In addition to basic needs, I also provide a comfortable and safe environment for pets to stay in. I have a designated space in my home for them to sleep and relax in, and I make sure it is clean and free of any hazards. If a pet has any special needs, such as medication or specific routines, I am more than happy to accommodate those needs to ensure they are as comfortable as possible. I also love capturing photos of the dogs playing and having a good time. I will send photo and video updates to the pet owners, so they can see how their furry friend is doing while they are away. Overall, I treat every pet in my care like they are my own, and I strive to provide a stress-free and enjoyable experience for them while they are away from home.
Home
Information Sarah J. would like to know about your pet
1. Feeding schedule 2. Health & medications 3. Exercise needs (i.e how frequently should I walk them. If not specific, I usually walk the dogs 30mins-1hr after feeding them) 4. Behavioral issues (i.e do they interact well with other dogs if we go pass them during our walks, separation anxiety, aggression tendencies...etc)
A typical day
As a pet sitter, I like to keep the dogs I watch engaged and active. Some fun activities that I enjoy doing with them include playing fetch in the park (if leash trained) and going for long walks in nearby parks. If the doggo has been socialized, I also like to take them on doggy play dates with my friends dogs. When it comes to places I like to take the dogs to, I prefer open and scenic routes that the dogs would enjoy.

Pet care experience
What makes me a unique and valuable pet sitter is my lifelong passion and love for dogs, combined with my experience in caring for them. Growing up with dogs in my house has given me a deep understanding of their needs and behavior, and I have always enjoyed spending time with and taking care of them. One of my particular strengths is my experience with big dogs, which can be a challenge for some pet sitters. I am comfortable handling and walking larger breeds, and I know how to provide the extra attention and exercise that they need. In addition, I have skills in training puppies and providing senior care. I have successfully trained several puppies in basic obedience and house training, and I know how to adapt my approach to different personalities and learning styles.
