Pet care experience

Guaranteed to love your dog!

I've always loved animals and can't wait to meet your fur baby! As a kid my family always had dogs and oftentimes I was in charge of taking care of them. Many of my neighbors and friends had pets too and they would rely on me to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets, even when they weren't on vacation. I've had some experience in administrating shots and giving medication, but require a thorough walkthrough of any special needs your pup might have. What I lack in pet education, I make up for in my willingness to learn and passion for animals! Communication is key to keeping your pet safe and happy and I will always send updates and keep you in touch with your fur baby so that everyone stays happy!

Safety, trust & environment

I understand that each doggo has their own special routine and care system, so I ask for a detailed explanation of how I can best take care of your pets! I also ask for a written statement of any types of meds and the best way to administer them, along with any other specific needs your pup might have.

Sara once again did a great job for us. We added a dog since her last visit and she did wonderful with new addition. Great feeling to know they are being taken care of while we are gone. It’s truly appreciated.

Sarah did a great job watching our 3 little ones (2) cats and 1 dog. Our dog is a senior so she need a little extra care. Sarah sent us pictures with updates which I really appreciate since it hard enough being away for the little ones. It was only for a day but they loved her. Even our cat Zoey warmed up to her which is a huge compliment to her. We will be using her again when the time is needed.

I couldn’t have asked for someone better than Sarah. She was so understanding of my dogs and what their unique characteristics and was such a great help! I got amazing summaries everyday of my pups and how they were doing even when they had a couple accidents 👀 but Sarah was so understanding and welcoming to them it was such a blessing to have had the privilege to work with her, I will most definitely be hiring her again come the need for it!

We did check-ins twice a day for a few days and Sarah was wonderful! She did everything we asked and our 2 dogs loved her! You can definitely tell she's an animal lover at heart. She was on top of check-ins, sending pictures, feeding and bathroom times. Very flexible with her scheduling. We have a 70 lb Rot/retriever and 90 lb Great Pyrenees and they were very comfortable being around Sarah. I highly recommend her and we will be using her in the future for sure! Thank you, Sarah!

Schedule

I work full time and have a limited schedule but given enough notice should be able to make sure your pets are taken care of! If you're planning a trip and need someone to drop by a few times a day to check on them, I will normally be able to stop by 3 times a day. Due to work I can only provide walks after 5pm.

I'd love to get to know your dog! Meet and Greets are important to be sure I'm the right fit for your family. I require a visit before any service I may provide to make sure everything goes well for everyone.
