Huge Dog Lover/Puppy Flight Nanny!
Pet care experience
Hi there, I'm an avid dog lover, I've had a dog since I was 15 and couldn't imagine life without them. I lost my dog, Jackson, who was my child and soulmate 2 years ago and still struggle with his loss every day - I understand how important a dog is to their family. Last year, I spent a few weeks in Thailand helping socialize and show love to dogs who were rescued from the streets/dog meat trade so they can find forever homes in the UK, Canada and the US :). And this year I spent 2 months in Mexico volunteering at a dog pound - and ended up bringing a dog back from the pound who was in a cage 24/7 for 1 year, and prior to that abused and beaten so am working on training and socializing him :) I love dogs of all sizes/ages/breeds etc and consider myself a patient, friendly, trustworthy, reliable and responsible person. I'll take care of your dog just like I would my own and make sure he/she gets the love/attention they need ;) I typically work as a Puppy Flight Nanny part-time, helping fly dogs to their new forever homes so when I'm home I'm 100% available full time for dog walking/boarding in the Ukrainian Village/West Town area :). Thanks for looking at my profile and I hope to meet you and your dog(s) soon! Sarah xoxo

Wonderful as always! Winston adores Sarah & when we return home, it's obvious he's disappointed that it's not Sarah walking through the door lol
Sarah was incredible for drop-ins for my English bulldog, Winston, while I was traveling for work. She went above and beyond, and I could tell Winston had a great time with her as he was in high spirits when I returned home. She also communicated regularly and sent photo updates. I can't recommend Sarah enough for pet care/sitting needs!
I could have have found a better sitter for Oliver over the holidays. Oliver is a bit older and has some health problems, so I get nervous who I leave him with. I was so anxious to leave him for a full week and Sarah could not have been better. I received so many pictures and updates and always knew he was in good hands and enjoying himself. I was nervous he may not want to come home!
Sarah was absolutely amazing with Jax. She sent me so many pics while I was away that I didn’t have to worry about him for a moment. It was such a relief to have such a caring sitter. We could tell he felt right at home with Sarah!

Safety is a priority, as well as making sure your dog is comfortable and happy - getting to know your dog as much as possible would be my goal

A typical day
We'll go on long/short walks, be silly, play, have lots of cuddles or just hang out and watch TV - I want to ensure I recreate your dogs habits/routines so they are as comfortable as possible :)

Availability
When I'm home, I have a lot of flexibility for times to help with your pupper! Unfortunately I can't book up times too much in advance as I often don't know my schedule until a few days/week before.
