Your pet's needs are always my first priority. Walks and food will always be attended to on whatever schedule you and your pal prefer and (if desired) lots of cuddling and scratchies will also be happening hehe. I'm super attentive on walks to what's on the street, other doggos and people, and any other stimuli that may affect your pup. I treat fur babes as if they're my own - with tons of love and care!

Information Sarah K. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know about any special needs or wants your pet might have, what their favorite toy and/or game is, if they like to sleep with you or need their own space, if they love a certain treat-anything I might need to know to make our time together all the more fun and comfortable. ☺

A typical day

If it's too cold, your dog and I can stay in and play catch, tug-of-war, tag, or anything else they wanna play and if the weather is nicer, I'd love to take your doggo exploring through High Bridge Park, across the GWB, around the neighborhood, maybe even down to Ft. Tryon or Central Park! (with water and snacks of course)

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Sarah! I'm passionate about art and creativity, social justice, mental health, and (fair to say obviously?) animals, to name a few things. I currently work as a freelancer either from home or around Manhattan and would love to give your pal the attention and affection they need when you're at work, on vacation, or just need some time to yourself. I've been walking/boarding both dogs and cats (well, not walking cats yet haha!) for over 8 years now both as a freelancer and with pet care companies. I've worked with pets of all different sizes, breeds, and temperaments and have always been able to develop trust and companionship even with the most anxious puppers. I absolutely love animals and believe they should all be treated with the utmost patience, kindness, and attentiveness. I can't wait to meet your baby and help care for them while you're away! I'm currently offering boarding in my home (we have two doggies here that tend to get along with other pups okay, but they can be gated in my roommate's room, if necessary!) as well as overnight care at your place, drop-in visits, and walks or dog park adventures. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm here for you! :)

Sarah is absolutely the best friend your sweet pup could have! Sarah is incredibly communicative, flexible with great availability, and dependable. I’m lucky to have found a go-to walker like Sarah!
