Experienced & lifelong dog lover 🐾
Pet care experience
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 I found working with the shy, fearful, or withdrawn personalities especially rewarding.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.
Reviews
Very attuned to our dog!
Waffles had a great walk with Sarah. He took to her right away at their meet and greet. Will definitely rebook!
Sarah is very reliable and responsive. I appreciate her report and for taking lots of photos of Joy when she comes to visit. Thanks for all of your help to keep Joy happy and healthy.
Sarah was really great with our 3 legged dog, Joy! She shared lots of photos and information about their walks and visits. She was very friendly and easy to work with.

Please let me know ahead of time about any fears, habits, or guarding behaviors that your dog has so that I can make our visits as smooth and stress-free for them as possible.
A typical day
I am a very active person who loves going on walks through our Pittsburgh parks as well as just around the neighborhood streets, and a canine companion always makes time outdoors even better. Of course, if your baby is more of a couch potato, I am more than happy to provide my expert cuddling skills! If they have any preferences for activities or are fearful of certain areas or situations, just let me know!
