Highlights
Pet care experience
Here "fur" all your dog-gone needs!
Hi there! I'm Sarah - I live in Nevada City and work for a healthcare company (from home, so my schedule is entirely flexible). I've been a pet-sitter in various capacities for about 15 years; from staying at owner's houses to keep their furry friends safe, happy, and at ease, to daily drop-ins and dog walks - I've even had some experience with reptiles and birds! I'm new(ish) to the area (originally from Maryland, but moved to Nevada County a few months ago from San Francisco) but consider myself an active volunteer and member of this wonderful town. I love to hike, explore dog parks with my own pup, and host/attend dog playdates as much as possible. Caretaking has always been a passion of mine as a healthcare worker, but that certainly doesn't stop with humans. I can't wait to hear from you and provide your pet the best care, catered to your requests and their needs; I have ample time throughout the day to take walks, go to parks, or drop in to spend some time with your furry friend if preferred. I own a car, have a license, and can generally make myself available in any way that best suits your pet(s) needs. I don't have a yard, however, I love in a large condo with two floors, which I've often used to separate dogs and other animals if needed. I live a quick 10 minute walk from Pioneer Park, and frequent other local dog parks, so can guarantee your pal as much exercise and social time as they may need! I live with my fiance and our very gentle, medium-sized cockapoo Rigatoni; we love hikes and nature and don't host parties or leave the house for extended periods of time, so your pet will always be in a safe, caring environment, and will receive full attention in an extremely dog-friendly, clean environment.

I've seen Sarah and her dog Rigatoni interact a lot. She's very kind and compassionate towards animals and I would trust her with my pet any day!

Schedule
That's a smart detail to include—it reinforces your reliability and open availability! Here is a blurb you can add to your profile that explains how pet sitting fits seamlessly into your life: 📅 My Routine, Your Pet's Comfort Because I have an open and flexible schedule by design, pet care isn't a distraction—it is my daily routine. My life is structured to prioritize my dogs (and yours!), ensuring they receive consistent attention, timely walks, and fun playtime throughout the day. This means: * Consistent Care: I'm not rushing between jobs; I'm here to provide dedicated, uninterrupted care. * Easy Scheduling: My open calendar and reliable transportation make last-minute or recurring bookings easy and stress-free for you. * Peace of Mind: You can trust that your dog's schedule will be respected and maintained without interruption.

Safety, trust & environment
You can rest assured that your pet's safety and environment are my top concern. I practice secure leash handling and am always aware of our surroundings on walks. For sitting, I ensure a safe, locked, and pet-proofed environment is maintained at all times, preventing risks and securing your home. A responsible attitude means a safe pet!

A typical day
I love the outdoors - from trips to the Yuba River to hikes in the surrounding area to leisurely strolls through parks or downtown, I'm a lover of planning special outings and activities to get that energy out! I love Pioneer Park for a relaxed social doggy day, and I'm always looking to join in on social hikes and park days with other dog owners - if your dog is social, I can promise they'll spend plenty of time making friends. If you have a shy, more reserved dog - that's ok too! I love walking on quiet trails or exploring new neighborhoods for some quality one-on-one time with your pet. I've learned a good deal of dog training tricks and fun games for dogs that I'd love to share with your pup. I understand how incredibly important routine is for our dogs and can promise that whatever routine your pet is used to (mealtime, walks, bio breaks, bedtime etc.) will be honored exactly as requested.
