Sharing my love for your fur babies

Pet care experience

Not only do I have personal experience from having animals all my life, but I also volunteer at the Watauga Humane Society. I have two cats of my own. My passion for animals has been with me since I was a young child and has continued since. I hope to share my love with your fur babies and care for them as I would my own animals. Along with my volunteering, I am a full time student at ASU and have previous work experience in animal care as a veterinarian nursing assistant. Hope to hear from you soon! I have done plenty of travel sitting stays with most of my clients. Their animals are in their own environment, which helps create a stress-free and enjoyable experience for the animal and myself. Why I love dog sitting: I have been a dog lover all my life! My family has always been cat people though.. Throughout my life I have owned a couple dogs. I spend a lot of time with my friends and their furry animals as well. I take exceptionally good care of them and I enjoy spoiling them every possible second! Meet my pets I own two cats. Both cats are females and their names are Ziggy and Boo. Ziggy is the Calico and Boo is the all black younger one. About my yard I currently live in a duplex/apartment with no yard. The neighborhood is extremely pet friendly. My experience administering medication I have experience administering any insulin injections. I also have personal experience administering flea and tick medicine, heartworm and tapeworm medication, even any oral medications that they might require.

Sarah was great! Our two dogs loved her and she worked around our schedule well. It was nice knowing our dogs were so well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking with Sarah again!

Sarah was great with Royal! She was prompt and took extra time to hang out with him - everything from a walk to a little extra petting when he was back in "nap mode".

Sarah was our second Rover sitter and she was great! Every time I texted her wanting an update she was quick to respond. We were gone over night and everything went well. We would definitely hire her again. We are fairly new to this area and it is reassuring to know Rover is available. Also we were gone over the Labor day weekend and had contacted many Rover sitters and she was the only one that came through. Thank you Sarah! Hope to see you soon! Thanks again!

I used Sarah time and time again and she was always fabulous. Quick to respond and our dogs absolutely adored her! We recently moved and will miss her greatly. I highly recommend!

Information Sarah J. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preferences. I love all dogs. But a personal problem I have is that I am only 4'11 and weigh about 100 lbs so any extremely large dog might be walking me instead of me walking them. Before sitting a dog, I would like to know: -Do they have any eating schedule/preferences? -Their vet contact info and also their owners contact info. -Do they get along with other dogs? What about small children? -Do they require any medications? -What kind of toys do they prefer? I had a dog once that only liked empty water bottles and nothing else. -How do they do during car rides? -What are the dogs walking/exercising schedules?

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks My neighborhood has a lot of walking trails throughout the whole neighborhood. Personally, I walk along them all the time so it would be nice to have furry companion accompany me along these walks. I also enjoy a lot of greenways and parks, if dogs are allowed, I will be more than happy to take them and enjoy the scenary! Your dog's sleeping arrangement Personally, I am a cuddler. I have always allowed animals to lay in my bed and be on the furniture or wherever they sought fit and comfortable for them. As of now, I do not have any dog beds in my house but will here soon. Time I'll spend with your dog As of now, I am unemployed so I will be spending as much time as possible with them. My friends who own dogs as well and I like to go on walking adventures all the time so your fur baby can join the gang for a fun filled adventure and exercise! Time I'll spend with your dog I try my best to not schedule any of my volunteer shifts at the SPCA during my dog stays. For the most part, I will be spending as much time as possible with the fur baby. Some dogs will really miss their owners so I like to keep them busy and distracted! Extra house-sitting services Of course! I like to treat your home, like I treat my own home. I am a neat freak and sometimes can not control myself when it comes to organizing, cleaning, etc. I do not check the mail unless you specifically ask me too. Just inform you exactly what you would like me to do and I will do it!
