Vet Tech animal lover of all sorts!

Pet care experience

I have over a decade of experience with dogs, cats and exotics of all sorts (small mammals, birds and reptiles!). Very comfortable with administering medical care for special needs animals. Very competent with training and behaviour. Lover of shy kitties, reactive dogs and special cases of all sorts! Well versed in emergency care, advanced medical needs and much more! Have fostered many animals, and helped many pet owners with pet care and sittings. Base rates subject to change if complex care is needed. Message me for more details

Sarah did a great job with a difficult little boy. I would recommend her highly

Thank you for the great care! Our pack included a newly arrived foster dog from Korea. We needed someone who would be comfortable with this sensitive time/ transition. We left knowing the crew was in good hands, even the wobbly bits were smooth with Rain’s great expertise. Thank you!

Sarah took great care of our puppy Charles! It was our first time using Rover and she made us feel very at ease. Charles can be a bit of a handful but she was super attentive to him, even practicing some new tricks. We would highly recommend Sarah and hope to have her back to watch Charles again.

Safety, trust & environment

I am able to house cats in their very own room, with access to window viewing, cat towers and many cat toys/enrichment. There are resident animals in my house, including a large breed dog and three cats. All are socialized to other cats staying in the house. Cats boarding will need to be UTD on vaccines and flea medications.

Information Sarah R. would like to know about your pet

Reactive dogs or behaviour concerns - I am well versed in dealing with behavioural issues or quirks. Just need to know details ahead of time for your specific pet! I am well versed in medical needs, first aid and emergencies. If your animal is special needs, I would need to know what their specific needs are. As well as contact for your veterinarian if applicable.

A typical day

A typical day is dependent on the needs of the individual animal. A high energy breed is able to be walked, active play (flirt pole/fetch/etc). I love hikes and nature, and letting dogs experience lots of stimulating sights and smells. I also am able to do enriching activities with special needs dogs that are unable to do more active activities (scent work/mind games etc) as well as tend to their specific medical needs.
