Dog Trainer Animal Lover

I have been a professional dog trainer (AKC) and CGC certified trainer for many many years (10+ years). I have worked with many rescues in LA and PHX and continue to have clients back in those cities I still service (my clients love me). I have been watching animals for a long time and recently opening up my home to more clients. I have a large dog and small dog in my home as well as a very sleepy old cat. If your dog needs to be the only dog I can make arrangements for my dogs to be gone at grandparents :) The yard is fenced and dogs are only allowed out with supervision so they are always with me...I want to have fun and bond with your dog and ensure their safety and fun! I am able to do checkins, hikes, walks and obviously cuddles. I am responsible and will care for your pet as much as you do. I am happy to continue what rules/instructions you have for your dog and we will have a great time together. I will follow the rules you have for your dog and send tons of pics and updates! I have references and plenty of experience in all shapes sizes and breeds of dogs!

Safety, trust & environment

I care after your pet the same way you would, with love care and full of safety. I have long time clients that refuse to let me go because of not only the care I give but I think also the cuddles and pics :)

Sarah is amazing with our GSD puppy. She is very knowledgeable, patient, and has been a tremendous help in training. We couldn't ask for a better sitter/walker!

Simply put, Sarah is the best dog sitter I've ever had the pleasure of hiring. She is prompt, reliable, and professional, but moreover her knowledge of dogs is top notch (she's also a crackerjack dog trainer) and she clearly adores her clients. She sent me great photos and videos of my little guys and they can't wait when she comes to visit. I don't worry about a thing when I'm gone because Sarah is beyond capable. I'm pretty sure she could fight off a hoarde of zombies while making sure my pups had a fabulous adventure at the same time. And, bonus, when she stays for overnights, not only are my dogs happy, well-exercised, and clean when I get back, she makes us chocolate chip cookies. Nuff said.

I am open to all breeds shapes and sizes. I love all animals. What I would like to know is your animals routine, allergies, 'pet' peeves, and if they have any behavioral issues like barking at other dogs on leash (creating frenemies :) ) or gets nervous left alone I have been a trainer for 10+ years so can work with what make you and your pet feel safe and happy.
