Pet care experience
Hello! Thank you for taking a moment to view my profile. I am an experienced, compassionate pet sitter and I also have a degree as a Vet Tech, so you can be sure your pet will be in good hands. I have taken care of pets in my neighborhood for over 25 years now, and have many long-term clients. I enjoy long walks, running, playing, snuggling, you name it. I don't just show up and sit there. I have experience giving meds, changing bandages, and more as well, so if there's an extra step needed to ensure your pet is healthy and happy, I am able to assist.

Reviews
With years of experience having Sarah care for our pets, we are happy to give the highest marks for her as a caregiver. Our pets are a part of our Family, and trusting someone else to care for them is a high priority. Sarah is a wonderful person who genuinely cares for the animals, while providing personal attention to their needs. They always look forward to seeing her and being cared for by her. Whether it's for general care of feeding, walking, and other normal daily needs, she is also well trained and has vast experience in veterinary care, which gives us great peace of mind. Sarah will always receive our Five Star Recommendation.
Sarah has been caring for my 3 girls (dogs) for over 3 years now. She is very knowledgeable about animal care, truly loves my girls and is very dependable. I could not think of a better person to care for your best friend. I feel grateful to have found her. She has become a part of our family. My girls love her!

My experience administering medication Yes. As a Certified Veterinary Technician, I have administered pills, shots, ointments, etc. I have worked in a traditional clinic setting as well as in some pretty remote locations in Mexico so I am well versed in a variety of meds and situations.
Information Sarah R. would like to know about your pet
I am happy to work with all breeds. I would like to know the dogs preferences, likes/dislikes, and any habits. Are they good with other dogs, children, etc? If approached by another dog walker, is yours a dog I should keep back or would they be ok greeting the other dog? Are they escape artists? Do they hide under the bed when I first arrive? Anything that will help your dog and I to work well together is important to me.
A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog This is up to the client. Traditionally, I would spend the am, feeding walking, etc. and return early evening for dinner and another walk if they are up for it. If additional care is required, this is on a client by client basis. Extra house-sitting services Of course.
