Safety, trust & environment

I have done a lot of pet sitting in the pet’s homes. I understand the importance of respecting my clients’ property and I always leave the property in the same condition as when I arrived, if not better. If you are a gamer, I will never mess with your save files (many past clients seem to have this concern lol).

Information Sarah M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or quirks. I have experience administering oral medications to both dogs and cats. I also appreciate any information on if certain things scare them or any other unusual quirks so I can ensure I provide the most pleasant experience for your animal <3

A typical day

I love playing all sorts of games with dogs, including fetch, go find, and training commands. For cats, I absolutely love playing with wands toys and will your cats/kittens panting by the end of it!

Your pet thinks I’m fun :D

Pet care experience

My preferred first name is Bear. I have 5+ years experience volunteering in rescue shelters with both dogs and cats and I’ve definitely developed a knack for befriending anxious/shy animals. I’ve also worked professionally as a dog bather working with dogs of all ages and sizes. I also have experience leash training dogs and training a few basic commands. I’ve done a lot of cat sitting as well (in homes with up to 11 indoor cats!).

Sarah was amazing! Great communication, punctual , & seems extremely knowledgeable about pets. We have a rambunctious pup & she was even working with her on her walking skills. I will absolutely be using her again.
