Experienced dog- and cat-sitter

Pet care experience

I started dog-sitting several years ago when a family friend needed someone to house-sit for her Australian Cattle dog—I took him on hikes and stayed overnight with him to relieve his separation anxiety. From there, I dog-sat my aunt’s five dogs, ranging from two Yorkies, a Maltese, and a Chow mix. I took them on separate walks, as the Chow had more energy and required a longer walk than the smaller dogs. I watched my neighbor’s diabetic cat and administered his insulin as needed. I watched all of these pets several times until I moved, and then I became a regular dog-sitter of a Puggle for a fitness model for two years and an English bulldog and a French bulldog for one of her friends until I moved to Florida. I have had both cats and dogs, and currently have a 10-week-old Australian Shepherd puppy.

Sarah watched our dog Max for almost 2 years when we traveled. She would often even stay at our home as we were away and we trusted her not only with Max but our mail and everything else as we traveled. She was like a second mother to our Puggle. She would take him on hikes, dog park, walks around the neighborhood and even to her own home. She became like family to us and Max.

Sarah is a wonderful with animals. She took exceptional care of our 3 dogs. Her love for any animal shows through her care and attention she gives each animal. She is genuine and trustworthy person who I would recommend their beloved family pets to her care.

Sarah has been entrusted to care for various pets on many occasions. She obviously has a love for animals, and is able to care for each pet according to their own needs. One example of this is when she learned how to give medical care to a friend's cat who needed injections because of diabetes. She is very good with dogs, and recognizes the importance of providing the correct amount of food, exercise, and playtime to each one. In summary, Sarah is very concerned with the well-being of each animal to whom she has been given responsibility.

Sarah has taken care of our dogs and cats on multiple occasions. They were well cared for and happy each time. I was at ease knowing my beloved pets were being looked after by Sarah while I was on vacation. She even checked in with me by sending texts and pictures to let me know how they were doing. I trust Sarah with my my dogs (and cats!). I would highly recommend Sarah to dog sit. She is responsible and friendly. ~Brigid

I live near a few dog parks and a dog beach. My boyfriend loves animals as well and can give extra love to pets. My puppy gets along well with other dogs so far, but only has started to play with dogs that are her size.

I am currently in nursing school and work part-time in the early mornings, but my weekends are largely free for dog walking, drop-in visits, or house-sitting. I am flexible and can either do long-term or short-term.
