Sorry this sitter can only be booked through her business since Rover isn't for professionals. Receive a free 30-minute consultation for your first booking. I specialize in anxiety and aggression. How am I different from doggie daycares? For one, I won’t be leaving your dog in a kennel all day. Dogs need exercise, and they require it even if your away. With extended stay dogs I offer brain games to stimulate the dogs physically and mentally. I believe every animal is trainable, and the hard part is figuring out what works for that specific animal. I do not let your animal get away with bad manners, instead we work on what good manners look like. Every animal has its own personality, and I enjoy learning them. To me this job is not just a job but something that I put my whole heart into. I have never met a dog that hasn't like me. Administering medicine comes naturally to me; I don’t need peanut butter to get a dog to take its medicine. What do I do outside of Animal Care? I am a part time Licensed Secondary Science teacher with a Bachelors in Biological Sciences. You can book just training or grooming by selecting drop-in; the drop-in price is included in the training/grooming fee. Dog walking for puppies includes working on proper walking techniques. Have me train while your away for only 25% more of your booking for each 30 minute session. Certified in: Complete Animal Care Pet Psychology Pet Nutrition Pet First-Aid Dog Grooming Dog Training Animal Behavior Licenses: Science Secondary Education PACFA My training fees are as follows: Session Time Price 30 minutes $45 1 hour $85 4 hours $210 I do offer coupons for multiple dogs and first time clients. These prices are for training sessions with the owner present. I can take care of other pets such as reptiles, amphibians, and birds, but depending on care need there may be an additional fee. I won't stay overnight, so I provide the care the animal needs (normally spending several hours with them) and sleep at home. I will only accept a request if each animal needing care is listed. Sitting Notice: A "night" starts at 12:00am and ends at 11:59pm. I do charge $0.545 per mile round trip for clients 5 miles or more outside of West Greeley. This keeps my drop-ins and walking prices low. I groom both cats and dogs. My grooming specialties are the following: bathing, brushing & dematting, trimming to undercoat, anesthesia-free teeth cleaning & tartar removal, and nail clipping & filing. Normally I groom at your home. I do offer preventative flea and tick wash. My grooming rate depends on dogs size, temperament, and what service(s) you would like. Need just one service? Al a carte or add-ons: Nails trimmed $10 Paw Hair Trim $10 Nails & file $15 PawDcure Nails, file, hair trim & pad protectant $25 Teeth brushing $10 Teeth brushing Activated Charcoal whitening treatment $20 Tartar removal (anesthesia-free) $1/Minute MOST POPULAR SERVICE.

Reviews
I hired Sarah some time ago while I was still living in Greeley, CO, and I have to day that it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I definitely became a repeat customer for multiple services, including her drop in visits and grooming ones. My boy absolutely loved her, and you will never have to worry about your dogs, as she will update you very regularly, while also going above and beyond with each and every visit.
My boy absolutely adores Sarah, he's always happy to see her and spend time with her. Sarah goes above and beyond what I believe any other walker would/could do, also offering many services that others do not. I cannot recommend her enough, do yourself a favor, put your mind to rest, and hire Sarah, JUST DO IT!
Sarah is absolutely amazing! Incredibly trustworthy, I mean, there arent enough good things to say, Sarah rocks!
Does a great job.

What does the dog enjoy? Where is all the needed items to aid the dog sitting process? Has the dog ever bitten? No breed preferences.
A typical day
We normally will walk around the familiar block. I work on walking properly, so if we don't go far on the map it means there was a lot of training involved or the map wasn't working. I will only walk my weight or less in dogs, so dogs over 100lbs are walked separately. Fun activities we will do together are based on whichever the dog enjoys most at that time. For instance, playing with toys, playing fetch, and playing brain games. I enjoy taking dogs to the park, but only if I feel it will be safe for all. Booking for a dog park visit means that you agree there is a chance of aggressive dogs being at the park, and you are responsible for any care that may be needed. I respond immediately and prevent aggressive situations; however there is no way to make sure every dog at the park is safe. Medical care would be seeked immediately and first aid provided by myself or higher qualified professional would be applied at incident. Please note this does not happen often and if there's an incident the attacking dog's family would be responsible for payment of medical care, if not to be found, you are responsible for care and give me permission to seek medical care when needed.
