Pet care experience

I have spent lots of time with a family dog and have been a sitter for several breeds over the years, often through friends and family. I am always over the moon to meet and spoil (to the owners comfort) a new furry freind!

Sarah was a great sitter. She's very conscientious, being sure to let me know my hound had peed inside and then repeated this behavior. I appreciated her staying in contact trying to figure out what was best for him. The cats took to her which was no surprise. She is a pleasant and friendly person. I would ask her to sit again.

Sarah was very communicative and responsive, left a clean house and most importantly took great care of my dog Stella! Highly recommend!

Sarah was wonderful with our Groot. She did everything we asked and was fantastic in sending us updates and photos. She was excellent at communicating throughout the process. Upon meeting her, she displayed a demeanor that gave us great comfort that our girl would be well cared for. We highly recommend Sarah and look forward to her spending more time with our pup in the future.

Safety, trust & environment

As a dog walker I will make sure your pup has a positive high quality walking experience. If I am sitting, I will ensure all fur babies get the level attention and care they need to feel safe and happy.

Information Sarah R. would like to know about your pet

As a sitter I would like to know the regular daily routine for your animal, their temperament, your approach to dealing with bad behavior as well as rewarding good behavior, medical issues or conditions, emergency contact info, and any potential triggers for your pet.

A typical day

I aim to stimulate dogs both mentally and physically as a sitter. This can involve play time, training (with owner consent), smelling different parts of the neighborhood and potentially interacting with other dogs, again depending on the circumstances and owners goals and comforts.

I am currently a graduate student which allows me the flexibility to schedule quality walks and play time with your pups! I typically work from home 50% of the work week, so getting out for a walk in between computational work is a win win!
