Availability
I first started volunteering at the BCSPCA in 2014 before working there full time for about 5 years. During that time, I worked on a farm for roughly 3 years. I’ve got lots of experience with plenty of animals and I am very comfortable in most animal related situations!

About Sarah l.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Growing up we always had animals - big and small. Taking on the responsibility of my very own fur baby rescue was the next challenge I was looking for & as of March 2022, I welcomed Timone into my life. He’s a small & fiesty Chiweenie mix (we think) that I rescued as a stray from California!

Information Sarah l. would like to know about your pet
Please inform me of any behavioural issues that you’ve noticed with your dog so I can work with them accordingly and please let me know of any allergies or medical issues your dog may have
A typical day
I love to use positive reinforcement training on walks to build trust between myself and the dogs. It’s also fun to discover new ways to give dogs enrichment using cheap or cost free methods (ie. kibble in a water bottle)

Pet care experience
Hello pet parents! My name is Sarah and I’ve been around animals since the day I was born, up until now, ranging from family pets to highly reactive animals from unfortunate circumstances. I worked at the SPCA doing animal care and animal control from 2017-2020 and had previously worked on a farm during the summers. I have plenty of animal experience from mice to cows and everything in between! As of 2022, I adopted my own high maintenance fur baby named Timone and he’s the light of my life. I have experience with all animals of all different temperaments so there’s very little I’m not comfortable with. With that said, please let me know of any behavioural or medical concerns so we can discuss if I’m the best fit for your pet ☺️
Reviews
Sarah has a natural way with dogs- our guy Moose can be a little leery around strangers, especially coming around the house, but he took to Sarah right away. She genuinely cares about the pups. Highly recommend.
Awesome as always! Very great in communicating and made sure Johny’s comfortable and our requests are met. :)
Sarah was the best! Aside from accommodating us on a short notice, she followed all the instructions we gave. I could tell that Johny enjoyed his short time with her!
Our new puppy Oliver is still a bit shy and timid, but Sarah wooed him within a few minutes. He was not anxious during his first time at home without his family. Sarah was prompt, easy to communicate with, and conscientious - I felt confident leaving Oliver with her. Her experience with dogs really showed, and set Oliver up for making good connections with sitters in the future. Very grateful for Sarah today!!!
