Highlights
Pet care experience
Energetic and experienced!
Hello! I’m Sarah Eve and I am excited to meet you and your pets! I’ve been working with dogs since I was very young—starting as a volunteer at animal shelters at just 8 years old and helping family, neighbors, and friends care for their pets. After college, I trained and worked professionally as a dog trainer for over 15 years. During that time, I worked with clients on everything from group puppy classes to advanced skills, and even helped senior dogs learn new tricks. I assisted in the creation and implementation of a behavior modification program at a shelter in Maine. I also have experience in therapy and service dog training, search and rescue, tracking, and versatile hunting. While I have a wide range of knowledge and techniques, I am first and foremost a force-free trainer who believes in positive reinforcement. Every dog is unique, and I tailor my approach to suit each individual’s needs—there is no “one size fits all” approach to training. Beyond Dogs In addition to my extensive background with dogs, I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. Over the years, I’ve been responsible for providing care to reptiles, small animals, chickens, rabbits, and even goats, horses, and cattle. I truly enjoy working with animals of all kinds and bring the same patience, attentiveness, and respect to each one.

Bear and Tilly absolutely love it when Sarah is house sitting. I do not worry while I’m away because Sarah is reliable and takes great care of Bear and Tilly.
Sarah did a great job with my 2 cats!
Sarah is a wonderful pet sitter. I never worry when I’m out of town and she’s taking care of my pets. She looks after them — and my home — with great care. Highly recommend!

Calendar and availability
Schedule
What I Offer: I currently work at a local animal shelter, which gives me daily hands-on experience with pets of all personalities, ages, and needs. I spend much of my day caring for animals, supporting enrichment activities, and helping ensure every pet feels safe and loved. Outside of work, my own dog, Charlie, keeps me active with morning and evening walks around our neighborhood — and I’d love to give your dog that same level of care and attention.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I can provide: • Neighborhood walks or car trips to nearby parks • Drop-in visits for potty breaks, meals, and playtime • Overnight house sitting (typically 9pm–9am) with daytime drop-ins as needed, ensuring both your pet and your home are safe and cared for while you’re away.

A typical day
What a Typical Day Looks Like: A typical walk with me is more than just exercise—it’s a chance for your dog to burn off both physical and mental energy. As a trainer, I like to weave fun training exercises into walks, keeping them engaging and enriching. When caring for pets at my home or yours, our day usually includes a couple of walks, playtime in the yard (when applicable), and sometimes a trip to a park. Training is always part of the routine, whether through structured games, walking together, or simply reinforcing good manners during downtime. My goal is to provide a safe, positive, and enriching environment so your dog feels stimulated, relaxed, and loved while in my care.
