Experienced & lifelong dog lover 🐾

Hello! I’m Sarah, and as you'd probably expect, I am a lifelong animal lover, fortunate to grow up around dogs and other pets since I was five years old. For the past six years in my spare time, I also enjoyed volunteering multiple days a week as a dog handler and walker for a local animal shelter, where I had also gone through training to work with their tougher resident cases. I found working with the shy, fearful, or withdrawn personalities especially rewarding. I adore interacting with all kinds of dogs, and I’d love to meet and spend time with yours! I am self-employed and therefore have flexibility in my schedule. I have availability for walks during late mornings, afternoons in general, and sometimes evenings as well. At this time, I am providing walks and visits in the Squirrel Hill, Greenfield, Oakland, Shadyside, Point Breeze, and Regent Square area. Other neighborhoods may work for sitting if fewer visits are necessary. At this time I provide half hour walks (typically a 25 minute outing with some time left for a little play, dinner set-up, water refresh, etc), drop-ins, and sitting at your location—either as an traditional overnight stay or as a series of day through evening drop-ins instead, depending on your preferences and dog’s needs.

Amazing service! I’ve had to travel so much for work lately and Sarah has been so helpful. She’s done daily check-ins and walks for Oscar and it’s made life so much easier with all of our crazy schedules. Thank you!

Sarah was great with Attis. She was always excited to see her.

Sarah's weekly visits have helped our puppy (and us) in wonderful ways. She is meticulous and so attentive in her approach. The time she spends has helped our puppy to socialize much better. He is very happy and calm after walks and playtime. He clearly knows he has a special friend in her. Thank you, Sarah!

Sarah is so reliable, flexible and obviously enjoys her job. She’s visited/walked my puppy 3x a week for a few months and always takes great photos and leaves detailed notes. I would recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy person to care for their furry friend.

Sarah was fantastic! Berto can be a little shy around new people and he took to Sarah very quickly. Highly recommend!
