Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to offer whatever is needed for each individual pet! I have dealt with leash reactive dogs and dogs that are still working on their leash manners. If your dog loves others, they are welcome to walk with my girl or if they happen to be more solitary, I can walk them alone! I also have no problem with walking two dogs at once.

Information Sarah N. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any quirks or preferences your pet has! I am happy to work with them and do what makes them comfortable. I have a lot of experience with nervous, scared, and aggressive animals from my time in the veterinary field.

A typical day

I love to play and run and walk with dogs. Beach trips and hikes are my absolute favorite! I’m also happy to set up an enrichment activities. If your pet is on the slower / calmer side, I also enjoy a good nature stroll or a good cuddle.

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs in my life ever since I was born! I grew up with four huskies and a chihuahua. I now have a husky girl of my own. I am a recent UC Davis graduate who has worked in the veterinary field for over 3 years and I love all animals. I have pet sat countless dogs (from pit bulls to puppies) as well as cats, turtles, hamsters, fish, and more. I’ve well-versed in basic dog training and have taken many animal science courses. Working in veterinary medicine, I have dealt with every medical condition under the sun and am completely comfortable with any treatments your pet would require. I love all animals and can’t wait to meet your pets!

Sarah is so great with my cats and very communicative! My cats are generally shy around people, but not the case when she visits them at all. Thank you for taking such great care of them!

As always Sarah was amazing and communicative with us and took wonderful care of our cats! She understands them so well, we're always comfortable knowing she's the one taking care of them while we're away. Thank you Sarah!
