Pet care experience
I love dogs like they are my children! I believe in making sure they are happy and healthy via exercise, lots of love, and affection. I have had both of my dogs since they were puppies so I have experience raising and helping train puppies. I have also taken care of my parents senior English bulldog, which came with its own unique care. I am attentive and can easily take up an special instructions regarding the care of your dog. Lastly, I have a flexible job where I’m on the road all through Washington. I'm a huge fan of walking my dog around downtown Kirkland or taking her on short hikes. So I’ll make sure I only accept your dog if I know I’ll be in town (Seattle/Eastside). I also live 5 minutes from a fenced dog park (Jasper's dog park) so if your dog is active, I can take them to that to play fetch and run around.
Reviews
Excellent and responsible, warm and loving pet sitter with great communication skills. She’s a gem and will treat your home and animals with love and respect.
I believe it would be best for Sarah to not sit larger dogs. Her communication wasn't clear as well. I had to ask for the meet and greet. When things weren't going well, it was clear she hadn't listened or read my directions. I do think she had good intentions, but wondering if this is more a money maker and not a love for dogs.
Sarah was very communicative & my dog was sad to leave her! She took such good care of my dog during the 4th of July holiday - def the worst for animals. Would recommend!
Good communication and went above and beyond in the heat watering plants that would have died without her. Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a 2 bedroom apartment so I don’t have a ton of space. That is why I don’t accept larger dogs for sitting. I let my dog sleep with me at night in bed on weekends but have her sleep in her bed during the work week. I let her out first thing in the morning for a potty break, a mid day walk and potty break, and then an evening potty break and walk.

Information Sarah M. would like to know about your pet
I do have a small shihtzu named Ellie. She’s very submissive and blind so she mostly keeps to herself. But if you have a dog that doesn’t like small dogs, you will need to find someone else to watch them. I also have a 7 month old Belgian malinois puppy. She’s really active and loves to wrestle and run. She’s really friendly with other dogs.
A typical day
I love walking my dog around parks or going for runs. So if your dog is active, I can take them running with me. I also enjoy the occasional hike or taking my dogs out to the breweries and tap rooms.

Availability
I work as a beer sales rep so I’m visiting tap rooms and breweries all day. If they are dog friendly I bring my dog, Raven, in with me. So your dog will get attention and love while I work as well as have my dog as a buddy. For house sitting: please keep my schedule in mind! If you’re looking for someone to stay at your house 24/7, please consider a kennel for your pets. I cannot hang out with your pets all day as I’m a very active person (I don’t hang out on the couch at my house either). I can commit to drop in visits 2-3x a day where I take them for walks, or I can take them with me as I run around out and about for work/errands/outdoor time.
