Pet care experience

I’m Sarah. My experience with dogs started when I was a little baby. I grew up living with canines, and my family raised me with the idea that pets are part of the family. They showed me how to take care of them, how to treat them, and how to respect them. What I love most about being a pet sitter is that even when you’re having a bad day, having a pup by your side can make everything better. I’ve owned all dogs of several different breeds and sizes, including Chihuahuas, French Poodles, Schnauzers, and German Shepherds. I volunteered at Saving Grace NC for their "Host a Dog Weekend," and it was fantastic. I hosted a Labrador named Thea and showed her how to go to the bathroom and how to behave in a home. I don’t have any certifications or special training for pet care, but I can provide your pooch with a happy, special, and fun time while you’re away. I really really love my neighborhood in downtown Raleigh because it’s full of dogs and has lots of parks. There are always people walking their pups and plenty of safe places to explore. My apartment is not the biggest one, but I think it’s peaceful. It’s a good environment to spend time with my furry guests. I go on three walks a day and consider myself an active and energetic person. I’m responsible and patient, which make me a great pet sitter because no matter what is going on, I always act calm. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish and highly responsible in every single area of my life. I work from home, which makes caring for pets easy. I treat all dogs like they are part of my family.

Sara was ok, but barely walked my dog, 0.2miles for 30 minutes. My prior walker was 0.5 miles in 30 minutes.

Sarah was responsive, on time, and handled our exuberant pup like a champ. Would definitely book with her again!

Sarah is a super patient and sweet person! My dog is happy when we picked her up and she kept me well updated and informed when I was out of town. I’m grateful!!

Information Sarah R. would like to know about your pet

Before meeting a new dog, I always try to ask specific questions to learn how I can make them the most comfortable. This ensures high-quality pet care and helps to make each of my four-legged guests feel right at home.

A typical day

I always provide treats to help build trust with a dog. Then I’ll pet and talk to your pup until they become comfortable with me. When we go on walks, I’ll take them to all the big parks nearby. My neighborhood is known for being pet-friendly and having lots of safe walking routes. I will send you pictures and updates about your fur baby during our time together. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible and open for pet sitting. Dog sitting is the perfect gig for me because I can give the pups all the time and attention they need!
