Pet care experience

Been running my own Animal Care business for 2 years now- mainly dog walking, but also farm animal care. Currently looking for new clients during the weekdays- I have open slots for dog-walking!! I have remained healthy throughout quarantine, and can wear a mask & gloves unto your home if requested.. I live and grew up in New Paltz New York and I have worked with animals for about 3-4 years, mainly dogs. I was responsible for feeding, bathing, medicating, intensive cleaning, being outside for hours in any weather, as well as documenting all necessary things such as whether the animal is eating, taking there meds, enjoying themselves vs. being upset, and always finding a way to fix it. Where I worked was called a Pet Resort, for when people go away on vacation, but Monday through Friday we also served as a "Daycare." When people go to work, they drop their dog off for the day, and then pick them up on their way home. We would get up to 50 daycare dogs a day, sometimes more, plus whoever was already boarding. I have also been house sitting and pet sitting for neighbors and friends for years. I have helped out with watering plants, taking mail in, and bring the trash cans in and out. I have also taken care of any other pets in the home, Pigs, goats, horses, ducks, chicken, fish, reptiles, rabbits, hamsters, etc. Really willing to help out in ANY way!! I mainly dog-walk (most requested, but also have experience with farm animals) I also have recieved my Associate’s degree as well as a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology, but have chosen to pursue my career with animals because they are my passion! I am always looking for ways to connect with each individual animal I see them each as very unique and special! I definitely have a slight sociologist perspective when thinking of the relationship of humans and pets and what we do for eachother! I can send my resume upon request if you are interested in seeing my professional history. Using Rover as a stepping-stone, typically proceeding with communication via personal cell

Sarah cared for my cat, Grippy (who requires as much attention as a dog). First off, I have extremely high standards when it comes to the care of my baby, but Sarah still finds a way to exceed my expectations. Sarah has a strong love and respect for animals, she has a gentle and caring vibe that my kitty picked up on right away. With our former sitters, Grippy would be always super upset and ignore us for days after we'd return from travel :( But after Sarah's visits, she's always her happy self when we come home. Sarah provides excellent communication and sent us regular updates during her stay. We're able to enjoy our travels knowing our baby is receiving the same level of care that she would if we were there ourselves. We are SO GRATEFUL!!!

Sarah has taken care of our 3 fur babies and our home twice and we’ll definitely have her again any time we go away! From the first time she came to meet our pets, it was obvious that she has a love of animals, and made us, and them, feel comfortable and we knew we found an awesome person to look after our pets! We are now able to go away and relax knowing our house is being looked after and our pets are receiving love and care!

There is literally nobody I know who loves dogs as much as Sarah! She has taken care of my dog numerous times for weekends and always gives me a full report of his activities, makes sure he is fed appropriately and at the right time, and makes sure he gets enough exercise. She is gentle, observant, and incredibly generous and passionate when it comes to dogs. She also has a keen intuition when it comes to dogs; she seems to always know what they want.

Sarah is one of the most caring people I know, especially when it comes to any animal. She has a way of knowing what each pet needs and finding the best ways to engage with each animal to give them exactly that. She is an active person who loves the outdoors and doing things with her own animals. She would definitely be someone I would want caring for my pets.
