I want your pets to feel at home
Pet care experience
I am a loving and compassionate care giver looking to help families care for their animals and/or homes. From pet sitting to working at a Dog daycare for over five years where I became the assistant manager; I am the perfect person to care for the pets we love. Over the years I received certification in dog and cat CPR and First AID; as well as multiple training sessions in dog language and behavior's in group and home settings. Over the past 15+ years I have continued to work in different animal settings with my most recent being Golden Paws in Naples FL. I have rescued and fostered all different kinds of dogs as well as developed a large knowledge base in obedience and positive reinforcement training. I have a base knowledge in grooming which would allow me to trim nails, brush, bath, and clean the ears.
Reviews
Sarah is a natural animal lover and caregiver. She has work experience on running and managing large and smaller doggie daycare facilities that includes but is not limited to boarding, sitting, walking, and daily socializing and care for all types of dogs! She is educated and has work experience in how best to manage and train dogs for the acceptable social behavior results desired by most if not all dog owners. She has actively rehabilitated and successfully trained multiple dogs, some with challenging personalities. Sarah also has experience on how to breed a dog ensuring both a successful result and safe experience for both the male and female dog involved. The necessities for a successful puppy birth experience and puppy/mother care experience afterwards are understood by her. I have witnessed all of this. I have seen Sarah in action when not only caring for her dogs, but also for other owner’s dogs. Her compassion for these animals and her ability to identify and manage any situation encountered is impressive. The love that she has for these, and all animals is unconditional, just like they love her back. She is loving, dependable, reliable, and trustworthy to any animal she cares for. I highly recommend her for the care of your pet(s). Sandy P.
Sarah is by far the best person to care for your pet! Sarah has a love for pets that matches very few. She has made herself very knowledgeable about dog care and has worked in some of the best facilities I know. Additionally, witnessing Sarah's love for her own pets is knowing her "babies" are part of the family. You can rest assured when leaving your furry family with Sarah they are being loved and very well cared for.
I've learned everything I know about dogs, from Sarah. She was born to be a pet companion. She is the most kind, loving, nurturing person when it comes to animals. There are few people I would trust with my dogs and she is top of the list! She will treat your babies like they are her own and give them all the love and care they could need.

I am happy to care for pets at my home or yours. I do my best to encourage basic obedience behaviors like not jumping when greeting or sitting and waiting to eat. In my home the expectation is basic kindness and respect for each other. I am happy to enforce any training you are working on with your pets. I use positive reinforcement and light touch training depending on the behavior we are working on. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved and tired when you get home.

Information Sarah K. would like to know about your pet
It would be helpful for me to know about any allergies or medications your pet is on. It's important to inform me on any behavior history or any concerns you may have. I will also need to know if you animals have been around children under 1 year and how they handled the interaction.
A typical day
Depending on what you are looking for; I am happy to work on both mental and physical activities with all the pups I care for. I have a large yard to play in as well as 2 friendly pups for your pets to play with. We will practice basic obedience like; sit, stay, down or leave it. I feel that each animal has there own needs and personality so I like to assess each new friend before I settle on a plan for their time with me.

I am currently working part-time at a retail store along with taking care of my 1 child and 2 dogs. We are up early and we are home all day most days. Once a week we may have an appointment or a grocery store run to make but everything can be flexible to accommodate any new friends we care for.
