Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving & certified shelter employee
Aside from having my own 80lb aggressive dog at home in NY, I have 3 years of experience working for the NYC Second Chance Rescue animal shelter. There, I have walked and groomed dogs, cleaned up messes, trained pets, administered medication, monitored puppy playtimes, and more. I also have experience dog sitting for family and friends. I have a great track record with dogs who have extreme behavioral issues and will work to create a loving relationship with any dog no matter their quirks! Fun fact: I have been featured on the Dodo, the animal news site, with one of my favorite pitbull rescues! Additionally, I am Fear Free Certified. I have completed extensive training courses about dog/cat behaviors to receive this certificate. With this training, I learned how to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress & improve an animal's emotional wellbeing during both shelter & home care. I also have experience with special needs dogs- specifically handicapped dogs, blind dogs, and deaf dogs. I am able to tailor my care to fit your dog’s needs under any circumstance. When you book with me, you are guaranteeing a calm, loving environment for your pup while you are away. I work to create a bond with every pup & will genuinely love them as if they are one of my own.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets, my full attention is always on them and nothing else. I am very experienced with signs of anxiety, aggression, and uneasiness in dogs and will ensure a safe environment for them and me.
Ratings and reviews
Sarah is the best! She’s extremely professional and accommodating, I would highly recommend her services.
Sarah was wonderful with Knox! You can tell she’s a true professional. Did a meet and greet and he took to her right away so sweet and then was very good with updates and information definitely will use her again!!!
Sarah was so great with our dog, she took excellent care of him and was very communicative the whole time. We will definitely look to Sarah again in the future!
She was great, I trust my pups with her. She is very kind and great at communication.
Sarah took excellent care of my dogs and left thorough notes after the walk, which I really appreciate especially since on dog has some anxiety. Her notes help me better work on what’s best for him to reduce the anxiety.
Sarah was great, she came a day early to meet Cosmo and provided updates when we were out. Would absolutely have her watch him again.
