Law Student aka Dog Enthusiast
Pet care experience
I am a student at University of Richmond School of Law with an irregular schedule that leaves plenty of time for dogs (especially during normal work hours)! Typically, I am gone for class 2-3 hours once or twice a day. This means I have plenty of time to give your pup(s) attention during a doggy sleepover, check-in, and/or walk! In general, I am free 10-2:30 and after 5 but sometimes it is more or less depending on the day of the week. My boyfriend and I have been living together for over a year just in a house north of the Lakeside area. He too is a dog lover and a huge help with any breed. Since he works regular work hours, I am usually the one that cares for the dogs throughout the day. We have 2 dogs and they both are the sweetest ever (though, I am biased). Our 1 y/o lab/dane mix is extremely playful and the 2 y/o golden retriever/lab mix is much more laid back, so we definitely have a buddy to fit whatever your dog's temperament is. I also have some experience with raising service dogs (I worked with Guiding Eyes for the Blind my senior year of college).
Reviews
Sarah walks my dog Franklin 3-4 days a week and she’s wonderful. She’s easy to communicate with and Franklin loves her!
Sarah is always amazing with our dogs!!
Sarah has been walking my goldendoodle for a week and so far she has been GREAT!
Sarah was great!! She was available at the last minute when another sitter had to cancel. She provided lots of updates and made sure Elli felt comfortable and happy before we left her. I would definitely use her again!

Information Sarah M. would like to know about your pet
All dogs loved and accepted! Does your dog have any toy/food aggression? It is not a deal-breaker because our dogs are both very submissive in that regard, but it would be helpful to know. Any history of breaking loose or jumping fences? Again, not a deal-breaker because we have approx. 4 ft tall fence on all sides and I keep an eye on them, but always good to know any behaviors to anticipate. History of destroying stuff when left alone? If so, we would need them to be crate trained. Vaccination history?
A typical day
LOTS OF SNUGGLES (if they like that sort of thing)! We have a large backyard with plenty of room for the dogs to run around, but I also like to take them on walks. We have a great quiet neighborhood for short walks. When the weather is nice, I like to take them to a local park to explore or a dog park to play. Happy to discuss what you'd like your dog(s) to do/not do during our time together.
