Pet care experience

I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience with different breeds, ages, and temperaments. I’ve worked with dogs from 7lbs to weighing over 140. I have experience giving dogs medicine via pills and cutting pills. I’ve worked with dogs with anxiety, fear based aggression, and dogs that don’t get along with other dogs or people. I have worked with dogs with special medical needs before including my own.

Sarah is a wonderful dog sitter. Our dog Zoey loves her and I never worry about the dog when Sarah is staying with her. I know she will be well loved and well cared for.

Sarah P. is truly wonderful. Warm, responsible, kind. Sarah went beyond expectation in helping me when unforeseen things came up. And the great photos and frequent reports on how my old dog was doing were so reassuring, since i was gone for an extended period.Sarah made sure the second sitter [ Sarah had prior commitments] was able to move smoothly in place. In summary. Sarah is great and i look forward to engaging her again!

Sarah did a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. Gabby had some health issues pop up while I was gone, and Sarah kept me updated the whole time. Gabby had to go to the vet, and Sarah handled everything until I could get home. I highly recommend using Sarah next time you need a pet sitter!

Sarah took such fantastic care of our spoiled little terrier! She communicated really well while we were away and sent plenty of photos. We didn't worry for a moment that our pup was in good hands. She stayed in our home for two weeks and left everything spotless. We would encourage anyone to work with her.

Safety, trust & environment

If you choose me to take care of your dogs in your home, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I’ll be respectful of your home and the rules/boundaries that you set. If you choose me to walk your dog, I’ll make sure to chose safe areas your dog will enjoy and always keep your dog safe.

Information Sarah P. would like to know about your pet

It's important for me to know if your pet needs medication of any kind, has any behavioral needs that I should be aware of, as well as any special needs they may have. Knowing these will help ensure I am the best fit for you and your dog!

A typical day

I would (as long as it's allowed) start our day off with a treat! Playtime is an absolute must for puppers who have a lot of energy! If you have a backyard, we'll play fetch or even just run around! If you don't have a yard then we'll have a nice long walk and some playtime inside instead. If your doggo prefers to hang around the couch, then as a must, I'll be giving them all the love and snuggles they could ever want!
