Happy bein Pup’s other best friend!

Pet care experience

Hello pet parents! If you’re considering booking with me I’d be happy to give your family members all the love and attention they’ll require while you're away. I'm a dog person but I love all animals and have experience with cats, horses, and bunnies! Contact me as soon as possible to set up a Meet and Greet to see if we’re all a good fit. In the meantime, thank you for your thoughtful consideration. If I were to care for your dog I'm happy to take them on any outdoor adventures you're okay with. Your dog and I with permission, could stroll through neighborhood parks, find hidden hiking trails, play fetch, work on basic training, or go to a dog beach and swim! I'm happy to scoop your puppy up to any spot of your choosing. I’d drive them to your preferred place while never forgetting your dog's safety which is my most important priority. I drive a well-maintained Fiat 500L with plenty of room in the back to clip in your dogs in for any short trips to the dog park! I try to instantly relate, understand, respect, and love all animals that I meet. I learn their behaviors and desires quickly in order to find what motivates them like treats or belly rubs! I want to become their substitute 'Alpha Dog' presence while you’re away so they feel as comfortable as possible in a new situation. I have experience dog sitting, walking and caring for dogs of my friends, family, and others around my neighborhood since I was a kid. I've trained two dogs since puppyhood and one service animal for myself, named Happie. Happie is very mellow and easygoing but super sweet with people, especially kids and loves to play with other dogs when he's not working as my service animal. Happie can be a super fun and awesome energetic play date at the dog park! He has good rapport with all past clients’ dogs that he’s met. Let me know if you’re interested in a work out partner for your dog too! I understand that dogs are more than pets and deserve to be treated like family just as I feel with my own baby pup! I can also look after any other animals you may have while in need of care. I have experience with caring for and working with horses since I was seven at YMCA Raintree Ranch as well as volunteering with Cindy's House of Horses, cats, dogs and pet bunnies! I'd be very grateful to work with you and your pets' needs to maintain an active, healthy and loving lifestyle through house stays, drop ins and walking visits. I want to make sure your animals get the best care possible and I understand that as a very serious responsibility. I’m committed to giving you text, photo and video updates in the app throughout the stay. We’ll always be sure to check in with you at some point to connect. I like to keep close communication with my clients, it is essential while building trust with a new sitter! I’ll ensure your best friend is very well taken care of. Your animals’ safety is my biggest priority as I would treat them like my own. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! Feel free to contact me anytime, I'd love to help out and I hope it works out! You can text or call me 24/7 to go over details and questions. Thank you for your consideration and best wishes, Sarah Anne Naiman *Pricing is subject to change depending on total driving distance, repeat client discounts, number of animals, holiday rates, grooming services, etc.

Sarah did a great job taking care of our cats while we were away, including giving one of them his medicine. Thank you!

Sarah did a great job taking care of our lab. She was flexible and responsive. She sent daily updates with photo and videos. We would definitely recommend her. Thank you Sarah!

Sarah was great with our 5 month Aussie. Kona has separation anxiety, but Sarah kept her busy and entertained all evening. I’m not sure she even knew we were gone.

Information Sarah N. would like to know about your pet

I love all shapes and sizes, any breed if fine with me. I'm a dog person all around! When booking with me I’d hope to know a little about your preferences. I would like to know how your dog’s triggers and any or all health concerns. What eases your dog’s anxiety while you’re away? If they show escalated behavior how do you react? What motivates your dog when it comes to listening to commands and your training routines? I understand that every breed, as well as each individual dog, has its own unique personality and needs. Overall, What works best for you and your family members?

A typical day

I love walking around staying close to your location for dog park adventures or simple strolls in the neighborhood. I love playing fetch at the park with your permission, swimming with dogs in good weather in local river, basic maintenance training like sit or stay, and grooming or bathing.
