Pet care experience
Hi there! Thanks for checking out my profile! I am an adventurous yet stable pet handler who absolutely LOVES working with animals of all kinds! I love all pets! I do have a special place in my heart for senior adventurers and for pups/kitties who need a little extra help learning leash manners, basic commands, and more! I have over twelve years combined personal and professional experience working with canines, felines, exotic pets, as well as equine and farm experience. I am also canine and feline CPR/First Aid Certified and comfortable with most medication administration. I am physically capable of caring for dogs that need assistance post-surgery or due to age to take potty breaks, etc. I would love to have the opportunity to provide a companion, play buddy, or walking partner for your dog, provide a lap for making kitty paw biscuits or a friend for back scratches for your kitty - or a potty break buddy and heartfelt masseur for an older pup. I'd also love to be a play buddy, care-giver, and companion to your farm animals, or exotic pets too! I currently live on a farm with Goats, Pigs, Ducks, Chickens, Barn Cats, Sheep, Horses, and more! So from chicken-sitting to dog-walking, I'm your gal! :) :) Contact me with your needs! :)
Reviews
Sarah Jean is wonderful! My dog loves his walks with her so much. She is conscientious, experienced, and really cares about the animals she takes care of. It is such a weight off my mind to know that she is the person coming to take care of Gus while I'm at work. I would recommend her services to anyone needing dog walks or a drop-in visit for food, medication, or playtime.
Sarah Jean was thoughtful and caring. Her notes were thorough, she was timely, and sent lots of good pictures. Overall rating: 150/10. She even left a hand-written thank you note.
Sarah Jean was a great cat sitter for our beloved Biscuit! She was very professional and efficient during our meet and greet, and Biscuit seemed to feel immediately comfortable with her. She sent us detailed notes about her visits and GREAT pictures (honestly, I don't know how she caught such great photos). We felt at ease knowing Biscuit was happy and healthy while we were away. Will definitely be asking Sarah Jean for her services in the future!
Awesome walker! Super responsive too!

Information Sarah Jean R. would like to know about your pet
I love all pets big and small and do not have ANY breed preferences! If your dog has specialized needs or behavioral quirks, I'd love (and prefer) to know about them ahead of time. :)
A typical day
The RVA area has so much to offer for outdoor activities! I love getting outside with pups on any number of local park trails and sidewalks, and to allow for the cognitive engagement that the sights and smells of the outdoors offer your pup! As a knowledgeable animal lover, I recognize the importance of the balance between physical and mental exercise for your dog, and I strive to combine walks and hikes that engage your pup both physically (uphill hikes, nature trails, etc), and mentally (lower traffic, high nature trails where smells would include lots of wildlife). I can provide walks at any speed, or offer runs for more high energy dogs. I am happy to oblige any circumstance! :)
