I own a dog training business, I'm home most of the day to play and care for your pets! I tend to be up at 8am and down by 11. I go on daily dog walks and have play sessions at least twice a day. I'm extremely familiar with canine enrichment as well and anything I don't know, I'm sure to do research to figure it out.

Information Sarah P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any behavioral or medical issues in advance.. if your dog has arthritis we can stay to less hilly walks. If your dog looses their mind at the sight of a squirrel or cat, let me know. If your dog bites, I'll show up in a bite suit till they love me. I want to ensure a safe and pleasant experience for all pets

A typical day

A typical day for me involves a walk to or around the M. Then we stimulate the mind and do some obedience with play. You give me a sit? Play! Give me a down? Ball! After that they'll be pooped and just want attention until it's time to play again. The best stimulus is training and the beat training is 70% play.

Pets

Master dog trainer

Pet care experience

I started out pet sitting around the neighborhood as a kid and teaching the family dogs to climb ladders. I eventually graduated from the Tom Rose School for dog trainers. There I learned how to train and care for aggressive and reactive dogs to shy or overly friendly dogs. I know how to teach all household manors and obedience, tracking, detection, service task, and more. I also know canine first aid. No matter the dog, they're in safe hands.

Sarah sent updates and pictures every day we were gone. Our sweet 1 year old German Shepherd had the time of her life playing with Sarah’s dogs, we have the pictures to prove it! We will definitely be using Sarah again.

Sarah was a great caregiver of my little 6lb dog, answering all of my questions and addressing my concerns. You could tell that she truly cared for the dogs under her watch and was invested in giving them a good experience. I will be using her again!

Sarah sent many pictures and let me know how our dog was doing. She was laid back and attentive.
