Pet care experience

Grad Student with Pet Experience

I am super flexible and comfortable with dog care. I currently have an energetic young german shepherd so I understand the importance of dogs getting lots of exercise so that they can relax throughout the day. The main breeds I have experience with are Labs/Retrievers, German Shepherds, Beagles, Mixed Breed herding dogs, and Horses! I understand when dogs want to play and when they need their own space to relax.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and a 1900 square foot home with hard surfaced floors. I don't allow my dogs on furniture, but if your dog is used to it, that is not currently a concern. My fences are sturdy and chain link, and about four feet tall. I prefer dogs that are crate trained overnight, and am happy to provide my own crates for them to sleep in. If they are not, I would happy to set up a play pen environment for them to be in!

Sarah was great with Cody and kept me updated throughout the visit with photos and messages. He looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated her communication and would definitely book with her again. 🐾😊

Sarah was great with my dogs and kept me updated throughout the visit. She paid attention to the instructions, made sure Cody and Tipsy were comfortable, and even reached out when Tipsy seemed a little nervous and wasn’t eating. I really appreciated her communication and the care she showed. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals and wants to do things the right way. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thanks, Sarah! 😊🐾

Schedule

I currently have a german shepherd that I exercise twice a day either by walking, hiking, fetching or chasing hose water. Typically, I do one of these activities in the morning and one in the evening. My dog is free fed throughout the day, but I am familiar with dogs that prefer the routine of scheduled feeding or don't have self control, so I am comfortable following the routine that the dog is used to. I have a great walkable neighborhood, but I am very familiar with great places to walk and hike with dogs throughout the city. I am a grad student with lots of flexibility so my schedule is different from week to week, during the summer I will have lots of time each day to spend with your pup, but during the year I will provide excersize but less one-on-one time.

Let me know what relaxes your pet and helps them feel comfortable. My dog, for example doesn't like strangers petting the top of her head, but she loves it when people pet her throat and chest area. Does your pet prefer constant attention or do they prefer to chew and play on their own while you are in the room?
