Safety, trust & environment

First and foremost I follow the owners’ instructions and then follow the dog’s lead to ensure their comfort! I am the kind of person who will get down on the floor to play with playful dogs, and will talk through everything I am doing so dogs get to know my voice & mannerisms!

Information Sarah O. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has special needs please let me know! I am comfortable administering medication, and have worked with dogs of all ages. Just let me know the drill and I’ll do my best to be consistent with your care!

A typical day

I love to be outside with dogs!! I’ll throw toys and walk and run and make sure pups are well exercised before going back inside! I love to walk dogs in the woods, on the canal, and around their neighborhood. I like to see where they prefer to go! :) I will also have dogs work for treats, and will throw toys around for them both indoors and out.

Pets

I love dogs, lakes, & the outdoors!

Pet care experience

I’m a proud owner of one rescue dogs & three cat and a mom to two young kids. I’ve had dogs my whole life and feel comfortable and at ease around animals of all sizes & ages. I realize firsthand the importance of daily check-ins & exercise for pets, love to take pictures and send thorough updates, and would love to be able to help you give your pup or kitty the best loving care possible! I also have experience with dog agility, can communicate in English or ASL, and will always go the extra mile for you. I’ve owned my own home in Pittsford for 15 years, know many of the local neighborhoods and trails, and love to walk dogs in any type of weather. I’m flexible with my scheduling, easy to communicate with via text, and very quick to respond. I really look forward to working with you!

Sarah did a great job taking care of our Bitte! She is responsive, trustworthy and made Bitte feel comfortable during their initial meet and greet. We felt confident Bitte was in good hands. Thank you!

Sarah was a wonderfully warm caregiver for my little dachshund mini, Izzy. Izzy was happy to see her when she arrived on time to take her out for a bit & give her a snack. Sarah even played with Izzy & took a picture. I definitely will ask Sarah to come again.
