walks & basic dog training!💗
Pet care experience
I try to do something a little different on here and offer some help with any sort of basic training for your dogs, all the while giving them walks, playtime, and love! Whether it be leash manners, basic obedience (sit, down, stay, heel, etc) I would love to help really nail these with your dog during our walks or visits. It's totally up to you what you'd like me to focus on, if anything -- I can offer normal walks/visits/playtime as well! Life is busy and it's very hard to always find the time to train your dogs -- I'm happy to help however I can. Two quick disclaimers: 1. I can only help with very BASIC level training. If your dogs are struggling with more severe behavioural issues (such as aggression) I highly recommend seeking out a professional trainer who is equipped to deal with these things (I can recommend some!) I'm more than happy to take your dog with behavioural issues on a normal walk, though. 2. Training takes a lot of time and consistency. I won't be able to "fix" anything or make your dog a pro on one walk, but I can teach the fundamentals and am more than happy to share all of my tips with you, too! I'm no stranger to behavioural issues such as dog aggression, resource guarding, reactivity, and nervousness -- my own dog suffered from severe fearfulness and has since become much more confident. So, rest assured if there are any accommodations or special requests needed for your pets, I'm more than happy to do what's needed! Over the past year I've taken a deeper dive into professional dog training, and I've had the opportunity to work with some wonderful professional trainers who have taught me so much.
About Sarah R.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
🌻 Believe me when I say that the second your pet is in my care, they're going to become my own, and there is nothing more important to me than the wellbeing and comfort of my animals. I have a whole collection of tools depending on what you want for your pet, such as long leashes so that we can play in parks and fields without the threats of off leash play! You can rest assured that I will keep your pup totally comfortable, and they will be the only dog in my care at any given time! If your dog likes furry company though, I am more than happy to bring my own dog along on walks or visits as per your request and if they get along!
Information Sarah R. would like to know about your pet
If there are absolutely ANY details you feel like I should know, please share as much as you see fit! At bare minimum I'd like to know if there is any reactivity or aggression I should be aware of that might need special treatment on walks, or if there are any medical requirements!
A typical day
I have experience with the laziest of dogs and dogs with incredibly high energy. Everything will be catered to your dog! Does your dog need a ton of physical stimulation? We can go to parks on a long leash and play. We could also take it slow and enjoy the sights, or maybe even lounge around inside if your dog is the lazy type.

Availability
🌻 I'm a professional video game developer which allows me to have quite the flexible schedule. I am guaranteed to work from home all day on Mondays and Fridays which is where most of my services can come in. Those days will allow me to care for your pet whether they need someone to come give them medicine, mid day walks/play, or a buddy to hang out for awhile. I also start my days very early every day -- morning walks, playtime, training or hanging out are my faves, so you can always count on me to start your pet's days off right!
