Nothing but wagging tails and fun!

Pet care experience

I was taught from a young age that animals are not just pets they are family. when you combine this value with my passion for animals you can be sure your furry friend is in the best care. My name is Sarah, I’m 28 and have 2 children (5yrs and 3yrs). Both my kids have grown up around animals and have been taught to respect all animals and treat them like you would treat your friends. When coming to walk or visit your dog I will most likely have both kids with me during the summer ( with your permission of course.) but never fear they will only enhance your dogs experience. My daughter is 3 and has become Bradys (my golden labs) new companion sense loosing his best friend to age. My son is 5 and loves all animals. He is energetic and loves to play but also can relax and would love to cuddle any animal who wants to cuddle. I work in the mental health field part-time (Friday-Sunday) but will be available after 3pm fri-sat and after 5 sun. If local I am willing to use my break to check in on your dog if you need that. If you decide to have me board your friend or even have them come play for the day I can assure you they will be treated like family. I have a med sized fenced In backyard for them to run and play. In my house animals sleep where they want and won’t be shamed for getting on the couch or beds we welcome it (unless it’s your rule and we will enforce it). In the past I boarded my neighbour’s chocolate lab a couple times a year. Brady loved have Karma over to visit and as she got older we would just alter the way we cared for her to make her stay as comfortable as possible. I have experience with animals who have medical issues and require medications. I had a cat who required insulin injections twice daily and my dog Brady has had both his back hips and knees replaced.

Sarah was a fantastic cat sitter for my two cats. They have special dishes that only open for each individual cat, and when she saw they weren't working properly while I was away, she looked them up online, found the manual for the dishes online, factory reset them and recoded them for each cat. You can't ask for more thorough and better care. Would highly recommend.

Sarah is a great dog sitter. We had two senior dogs but our other boy got very sick and we lost him last year. Our dog Brady is everything to us and we would not leave him with anybody we did not trust to care for him the same way we do. He is a senior and needs medication at different times during the day and I never worry that he won't get the meds he requires. Sarah has patience and a great sense of humor when it comes to looking after him. Brady has a unique personality that is not necessarily appreciated by everyone, he barks at imaginary noises, he will steal any food that is left on the counter or in your hands if you don't pay attention to him, he follows the kids around waiting for them to drop food and she and her family just take it all in stride. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

Information sarah r. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special requirements before hand. I am flexible and have the ability to alter factors in my day to meet your pets needs. For example dietary needs (wet food, raw food, kibble! My older guy is picky and has some dental issues so we add a bit of water and heat it up!) if your pet needs medication I have no issues administering to them, or any other kind of preferences you have. When taking your friend for a walk please let me know if they are leash trained or a puller (Brady has anxiety when walking and tends to speed walk until comfortable so he tends to pulls a lot and need reminders to slow down). All I ask is for you to let me know any and all details before the visit so I can prepare. I have no issues educating myself on medications or any special needs . This will allow me to understand your pet more and will help me make the visit a great one. *I did state I’d have my kids with me for walks or home visits to feed and play with your pet during the summer but if this is not ideal for you or your pet I have the ability to leave them with the grandparents.* *if I provide daycare or boarding for you and your pet but they don’t like cats or other dogs I have the ability to have them in the basement suite as my parents live there and the animals normally have free range of the whole house*

A typical day

Whatever your pet needs I can be there to help. We can walk around your neighbourhood or play in the backyard. Do your pet just need to be fed and some company i can be there as well. I will do everything in my power to make your pet as happy and comfortable as possible.
