Buddy for Your Puppy

I have been taking care of pets for most of my life, including two family dogs and several small animals. Both of our dogs had hair (not fur) so I know how to care for dogs who need sweaters and booties. I am a very patient person, so I am the perfect dog walker for senior pups.

House Sitting • Mar 03, 2026

Sarah is such a gem! We felt so lucky to have her watching our little guy while we were gone. She was super responsive in communication, and thought ahead for all our dog's needs. She was flexible in accommodating him at her house and open to seeing how he responded to the new environment(s) he was exposed to. She was really attuned to him which made it a smooth transition for him. Would completely recommend Sarah! She's kind, patient, and attuned to animals. A great find!

Sarah and I are coworkers and we have a beloved office doggie, Teddy. Often she'll volunteer to take him home if the owners (our bosses) are ever in need of a dog sitter. She loves pets of all kinds but she really loves dogs. She takes him for walks, let's him out midday and is generous with belly rubs.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I live within walking distance (5 minutes) of my job, so I can easily stop home throughout the day to care for a boarded dog. My office is also dog friendly, so I can bring in a small and gentle pup. For walking and in-home visits, I work 9-5 (with a 1 hour lunch break) Monday-Friday.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a small apartment on a beautiful property in the woods. We have no fence. I have no pets - but I do have one animal loving roommate!

A typical day

I would be happy to play with, walk, or cuddle your dog - just let me know what they like! I’ve been told that my fetch and tug-of-war skills are unmatched 🐶
