Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet lover through and through!
Growing up, my family was very pet oriented! Mainly dogs and cats, but also a few other creatures. Growing up with animals taught me the basics, and as time moved on I honed my skills and learned to listen to animals and respect their boundaries. When I was in my teenage years, my parents had a couple litters of puppies that I would take care of a majority of the time. They were my favorite memories, and I will still tell anyone that will listen that their tiny ears were like velvet. We began training the pups before they were adopted, and I have trained quite a few dogs in some areas; my shining achievement so far is my dog balancing a treat on her nose- yet only for a few moments before she gets excited and flicks it off to eat it. In high school I volunteered at my local animal shelter, my duties there were help with cleaning and socializing animals, and talking with people about the animals I knew and helped them get adopted. I have also pet sat for different friends and families over the years, and have heard positive feedback each time! I have a motivation and passion to keep animals happy, and will go to great lengths to ensure their happiness. :)

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I cannot bring animals into my home (we have a cat that does not like to share) but I can ensure you that I am a very dependable person! I can walk dogs (or cats!) at their own pace and needs- whether that's in highly populated areas for lots of attention, or quiet trails to run around and enjoy nature. I also understand that there may be a level of unease for allowing a stranger into your home or around your beloved pets, but I can promise that the only thing I am focused on if ensuring your pets happiness!
Ratings and reviews
Sarah took great care of our two Aussies. She did a great job with the varying needs, one being 4 year and the other being 14 years old. They weren't stressed when we returned home after a week of being away. We would highly recommend her.
Sarah is great! She has good communication & gives great care to our 2 Australian Shepherds. We have a 4 year old & 14 year old. Our senior Aussie requires a little more care & Sarah is perfect for her. Our young one loves 1:1 attention & Sarah is also great for him. We are grateful to have found Sarah, a new member of our pack! Thank you so much, Sarah!
Sarah did a great job taking care of our cat for an extended time. She provided great feedback from her visits and always took the time to give Nala extra love. We would love to hire Sarah again the next time we are away!!
Sarah was AMAZING. She house sat for us for 3 nights the pups loved her and she left the house cleaner than how I left it! She also is very responsive via rover app 10/10 recommend!
My wife and I have had Sarah pet/house sit for us a couple times now. She is always our first choice when we go out of town. Our trips are usually for multiple days and Sarah takes just as good care of the house as she does with the pets.
Sarah is our go-to pet sitter. She has taken spectacular care of our long haired cat, Pollo, and high needs elderly chihuahua, Taco. Sarah has kept our pets healthy and happy when we travel—even staying with them when we’ve needed someone to be there for longer stretches. Taco and Pollo are always happy to see her and seem sad to see her go. I would highly recommend Sarah and gladly ask her to watch my guys in the future.

Schedule
I am a currently a student at Chemeketa! I am mainly an online class taker, so I am in the Portland area most of the time. At the time of writing this, I am on summer vacation, so my schedule is much more flexible. Come September there will be some changes to my calendar, but for now I can work with you and your specific needs very easily.
