Plenty of love. Plenty of play!

Pet care experience

Every dog is different, has a different personality and is their own person. Every animal has their own needs and wants - I'm willing to help provide the care that each dog needs to grow and live a happy, healthy life. Hi there! My name is Sarah and I can't wait to meet you and your dog. I'm an experienced and loving sitter, and can provide care for your precious pup in your home. I've had a variety of dog experience throughout my life. I have been the proud owner of adopted dogs and have plenty of experience raising and training puppies. I've also worked with other animals or dogs with disabilities who require daily pills and injections. I can tailor your dog's experience to their needs and want to make sure every animal in my care is as comfortable as possible. One of my favorite things to do is go swing dancing, and learning to talk to a dog is just like communicating with a dance partner. There's a bit of give and take from both sides, and you have to listen to what the dog is telling you. If they're uncomfortable, or shy, I follow their lead! I'm also currently a seminary student, one year away from ordination. One reason why I love being around dogs so much is I feel that they are the perfect expression of divine love! I'd love to set up a meet and greet to discuss the care needs of your furry friend. Please reach out to me if you think I'd be a good fit!

Sarah was so nice and very knowledgeable! Tanner really seemed to like her a lot. She took him on a wonderful walk and took very good care of my fur child! Definitely would recommend to others and use again!

Information Sarah S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your pet has any nervous behaviors like separation anxiety, chewing, excited biting or jumping. What kind of food they eat, their daily schedule. If your dog is accustomed to being fed at an early hour, I want to make sure that I keep up with their routine. Do they prefer walks or vigorous playtime? Are there any behaviors that you are trying to train out that I can help with?

A typical day

Your dog and I will go for lots of walks around the neighborhood. Some dogs may enjoy wooded walks more and other like the hustle and bustle of your local downtown area. But for quick walks, we'll usually go around the block. If you're comfortable with your dog interacting with other dogs, we can take special trips to dog parks! We can play ball, take trips to the river and play in the water too!
