Animal lover and caretaker 🐕🐈🐇🐠

Pet care experience

Very compassionate towards animals! I work in West Des Moines Monday through Friday and am able to take your animal(s) for a walk, run, bathroom break, feed, or just hang out and give attention early in the morning, lunch hour, or in the evening. I am very flexible and available during the weekends and holidays as well! Communicate your fur baby needs and we can work together to provide the best love and care! A little background experience: I have volunteered for the humane society, ARL, and non kill shelters doing a wide range of activities. Some of those activities were playing with cats, cleaning up the litter box, dog walking, taking dogs to dog parks, petting/ giving attention to cats, bathing animals, clipping nails, and maintaining a clean area. I have volunteered for over ten years playing, caring for, cleaning, and building a relationship with dogs and cats. I have had a senior dog and cat, large dogs, small dogs and cats, high energy dogs and cats, and low energy dogs and cats. Overall its all about getting to know the animal and create a relationship in order to provide the best care. Why not leave your animal with someone you know will make sure has fun and is well taken care. Thank you for your interest and opportunity in having me meet part of your family. Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information or any questions you may have. Thank you.

I have two dogs that Sarah is able to walk in the morning, let out during lunch, and walk again after work before our family got home. We always receive pictures of the dogs and our house is always left in great condition. She’s very flexible and willing to work with our scheduling needs. Highly recommended!

Sarah is wonderful! She was very punctual, never late and she was flexible with fitting our dogs in on short notice! Sarah is a friendly woman, with a unconditional love for animals. I highly recommend her! She has taken my two small dogs on walks during the summer and even checked/played with my cats while I was away for the weekend. Sarah made the experience very comforting and made me feel like my pets would get the same love, attention, and exercise they deserved.
