Pet care experience
*Please note that I will not sit for untrained dogs/puppies. This includes any tendencies to relieve themselves indoors and/or destroy any non-toy items (ie furniture, shoes, etc) that are not meant to be destroyed. As much as I love all pups, know it’s not always in the owners’ control, & have tried to deal with situations like that with the utmost care, I just want to avoid any liabilities/frustrating relationships between me & owners.* I have been pet sitting for years now... dogs, cats, even bunnies! I love it enough to sometimes wishing I could just do this full-time... [For boarding] My apartment community has a fenced mini dog park and lots of outdoor space around the buildings for walks! I have no children in the home but do have a kitten. Hope all the details below answer most questions, but don’t hesitate to reach out if not. Look forward to meeting your best friend! :)
Reviews
Sarah did an excellent job with our puppy and two cats. Especially since the puppy can be a bit rambunctious. She was very professional and very patient with us throughout the whole process. Would highly recommend her services
I used Sarah for the first time to dog sit for my senior deaf dog, Lucy. I will definitely use her again! She was very responsive and responsible. I received daily updates with photos showing Lucy on a walk, sleeping on her bed and eating her meals. I highly recommend Sarah.
Sarah was very kind and professional. I would definitely book with her again. It was wonderful that she was available last minute too!
Sarah is the best! She followed our instructions to the T and did a great job with our security measures (house alarm/gate lock). She also took extensive notes and great pictures.
About Sarah N.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I care a lot about the safety and health of my clients’ pets, I’m in communication if I see something new about your best friend that I didn’t see the first day I received him/her. I tend to provide a longer recap on the end of the first day so you can let me know if there’s something you can do differently and to put your mind at ease on day 1. Then I still send photos/messages, just not as heavily so that you’re able to be present where you are and not alarmed every time I reach out :)

Information Sarah N. would like to know about your pet
Feeding & medicine schedule/amounts, allergies, health issues or injuries, fears or trauma, walking/feeding schedule that they're used to, any separation anxiety (heavy barking, door scratching etc), any uneasiness (car rides, potty training etc). I have a kitten who gets along very well with other people, cats, and dogs. But please note on your profile if your pet gets along with cats, other people, kids, and animals; his/her barking levels; & if he/she ever has accidents! If your dog barks excessively or loudly, also please let me know. Most of this can be worked with, but I just like to know so I can see if I can plan accordingly out of consideration for neighbors and to make sure I’m not over stacking my responsibilities. I also ask that you provide the pet food, treats, leash, and any other items that may be needed for his/her care (most of the time just those items are fine but some owners leave things that their furry friends love or remind them of home).
A typical day
If you leave toys, I usually put those to use. I love taking dogs out for long walks, they’re the best accountability partner and sometimes will jog lightly with them depending on age/physical limitations of the dog.

Availability
I work from home most days and stay in the Old East Dallas area, a pretty close distance to many parts of Dallas so it is highly likely (I hope) that my location and availability will align with yours. Even for in-office days I can usually take your pet out in-between meetings or plan accordingly! If I can’t for any reason I’ll let you know and won’t confirm the booking. I work for a pet-loving company (we have a slack channel for pets…) that encourages pets around to keep us company as we work.
