It's all about the Animals

Pet care experience

I am a 27 year old college student who has lived with Dogs all her life. Around 7 years ago I started dog sitting for family friends, mostly staying over at their house while they were on vacation, of course these jobs included walking, feeding, medicating, and playing with the dogs. My goal has always been to try and keep the dogs usual routine, this means walking them as many times a day as the owner would, getting up early in the morning to make sure I feed them or let them out at a specific time, and so on. I have experience with older dogs with health issues. My family bred one of our dogs, and we wound up keeping 2 of the 6 puppies so I'm confident in my ability to take care of puppies of any age. I have had experience with dogs of varying sizes the smallest being a Pomeranian and the largest being a Grand Pyrenees. I have taken care of Cats, goats, chickens, and small animals during these house sits, so if you have more than just dogs, I know I can handle it. Im good with taking care of more than one dog during my stay, nearly all the families I sit for regularly have 2 or three dogs of varies sizes and ages. I have had experience with dogs with more aggressive tendencies as well, though I insisted on meeting the dogs with their owners before the job, so the dog gets to know me in a safe environment. I have fallen in love with every animal I have watched. They are always amazing and I really enjoy getting to know them, and figuring out their unique personalities and quirks. Now I'm looking forward to getting to know your pet, If you will let me.

We hired Sarah to home sit with our dog Meija over a long weekend. She showed up on time and kept us up to date with regular messages and photos. She took Meijia for walks and regularly played with her. The house looked great upon our return. Meija was happy and clean. We highly recommend Sarah for pet sitting at your home.

We had our first dog sitting experience with Sarah. We just wanted her to meet our Meija and make sure she was a good fit. Meija was comfortable letting Sarah into the house and they spent some time together. Sarah was professional and calm around Meija and handed her well - Meija likes to play rough and we are working on her jumping. Sarah took Meija for a walk and some in house play time. Sarah looks to be very experienced around large dogs. We have already booked our first full weekend away. Good job.

Information Sarah K. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the activity level, any sort of mobility/medical issues your dog may have, what they like or dislike, and if your trying to train them in any way, and finally anything else you feel is important or interesting. The more I know the easier it is to more effectively take care of your dog.

A typical day

My goal has always been to try and keep the dogs usual routine, this means walking them as many times a day as the owner would, getting up early in the morning to make sure I feed them or let them out at a specific time, and so on. Though usually I do try to get them out on walks at least twice a day, even if the owner usually walks them less than that. I'm always eager and willing to play fetch or tug of war or just run around the yard with the dog.
