Here "fur" all your dog-gone needs!

Pet care experience

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 work full-time for a healthcare facility, though my job is fully-remote and I'm able to set my hours as needed. If you have internet at your house - that's all I need! 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 own two crates at home (one small and one large), both cleaned and ready for use at all times. I live a quick 10 minute walk from Pioneer Park - a favorite hangout for local dogs - and frequent 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!

Safety, trust & environment

When pet-sitting in your home, I consider the responsibility and level of trust to be immense, and treat each visit with care, respect, and diligence. While in your home, I vow to do my job - keeping your pal safe and in joyful spirits. I'm happy to accommodate as needed (depended upon the needs of your pets and whether I'll be staying in-home) but generally bring my personal work project, some crossword puzzles, and a few silly toys to bat around with your pet. While I prefer to pet-sit at your buddy's home for the sake of their comfort etc., I am available and more than happy to bring your pet to my home (located just a mile outside of Nevada City proper), which is fully equipped and ready to house your furry friend. I do have a (very friendly and well-behaved) cockapoo at my home, though he's extremely well-mannered and enjoys hosting new friends. I have an upstairs portion of my home which I do not allow my dog to roam around in often. I store a spare crate and new dog toys/blankets etc. should your dog prefer privacy and time away from my dog.

Information Sarah N. would like to know about your pet

I'm here to make sure your dog feels safe, cared for, entertained, and happy - please let me know any specifics about your dog's behavior, likes/dislikes, or interactions with humans or animals so I can ensure your pal gets the proper love he or she needs.

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.
