Walks, Photos & Lots of Love!
Pet care experience
I have always been a dog lover, but have not yet had the privilege to own one of my own. Through pet sitting I am able to gain and enjoy all that dogs have to offer. I feel that dogs truly are man's best friend. Each dog has their own unique personalities and there is so much to be gained and learned from each and every one. I live in sunny Hollywood, FL I live in a villa in Emerald Hills, a private community with lots of quiet roads, pool area, & patio. I have been working with dogs for over 10 years. Growing up with neighbors and family friends with dogs I would assist with their walks and care which originally made me interested in professional pet care. I have dog walked professionally, through my own clientele, and have dog sat as well. A few of my hobbies include swimming, photography, and art. I also love doing community service. This past summer I volunteered at a camp for children with special needs. A big part of what makes Rover so special to me is that I feel as though I am giving back to my community and the pet owners around me. What makes me unique is that I love photography. Because I love photography I always provide photos of the pups to their owners. I also feel that I have a unique connection to each dog that I watch/walk so I keep a photo of them. This way I can look back at all of the dogs that I have cared for each as their own individual sweetheart.
Reviews
We were visiting NY and left our young dog with Maxine for daycare. She was brilliant! Pasha came back happy and tired a perfect combination! Maxine was responsive, flexible and looked after a new dog extremely well - highly recommended.
My dog, Henley, had a great time with Sarah. I know this because Sarah proactively sent pictures and updates throughout Henley’s stay. Sarah's questions at pickup reflected her commitment to making Henley's stay safe and comfortable. Moreover, it was evident from their activities that Sarah and Henley had a fun together. Lastly, Sarah was flexible and genial when I had a change of plan. Highly recommend!
Sarah and Maxine were super helpful and accommodating for a last minute dogsitting request! My dog had a great time in their home. Would absolutely book again! :)
Sarah took very good care of our dog while we were out of the country - updated us regularly and was very flexible with a couple of unexpected changes. Would be happy to leave our dog with her again in the future.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my top priority when it comes to care. A few ways I ensure safety is by going over harness routine with the pup's parents (regardless of if I am familiar with the harness type), ensuring the pup remains on leash completely during walks (even in dog-parks), and always closing the door completely when we return home before taking the pup off-leash/out of harness.

A typical day
As a pet sitter I take it as my utmost responsibility to not only provide proper safety for a pet, but an enjoyable time as well. When I watch a pup I make sure to take them out on their necessary amount of walks, feed them at their proper times, and engage in activities they enjoy. For example, once when I was sitting a larger dog, I took her on a hike which she absolutely loved! I am typically home during the day. I go out for small increments of time, in which I of course make sure the pup is safe and secure in their own area, but I return frequently, and of course for their designated walk times.

Availability
I work full-time: however, due to COVID, I am able to work from home on an as wanted basis. If I knew I was watching a pup that required I be home full time, it would be do-able.
