Always eager to keep pets happy

Pet care experience

I understand that your pet is important to you, and my promise is to make their comfort my priority. I grew up with a dachshund and loved caring for him as he got older. Each dog requires a specific type of attention, and I'm quick to recognize that. I'm someone whose whole day is made when I see a dog anywhere, and I value the time I get to spend with one. I also cared for my mastiff as she aged and needed special care including multiple medications, a special diet, and physical support to get up. There is no better feeling than being bonded to a dog, and I understand that you may not have time to, but that's why I'm here! I'm energetic but can be chill too, which makes me the perfect match for any doggo. I love all dogs: big and small! I think the ultimate joy in life is having a furry companion, so let me care for yours and you won't ever regret it! Thanks for your consideration.

Second time having Sarah take care of my pets - this time my cats while I was out of town. I had zero worries knowing they were in good hands plus he updates she provided!

Very attentive, and kind! She took care of Mika like she was her own. Shared pictures with us and kept us updated about her schedule. 10/10 would recommend and will be booking again in the future 😊

We are always worried about leaving our dog behind and wondering where her hoomans went to without her, but Sarah very quickly put our hearts and mind at ease. She and her partner were perfect for our little fur baby to feel like she was right at home in their place. We received updates regularly with pictures and came home to a happy pup ready to play and who clearly loved the new friends she made <3 Don't hesitate to book with Sarah. If you're like us and feel bad about leaving your fur baby behind, don't worry, because they will be in good and loving hands. We will certainly look to have Sarah take care of Kona again when needed!

Sarah was pinto’s first dog walker and though pinto had a bit of anxiety Sarah was so patient with her that pinto loved her walks with her and I was able to come back from a long day to a happy exercised dog! I felt very secure knowing she was in good hands while I was out and look forward to booking her again.
