Pet care experience

Experienced sitter in Boise ♥️

Hello! My name is Sarah. I thoroughly enjoy caring for others’ pets . I have done so for friends, family, or through Rover and Trusted House Sitters for many years. I have experience with various dog breeds, age, and temperaments. I love caring for cats as well! I am quite active and able to keep up with walking schedules and play time. I take pride in maintaining cleanliness and respect of my clients’ home environment and schedules. I am a freelance writer and musician. Prior to this, I was a manager within the credit union industry for 12 years. With the nature of my current work, I am very flexible with schedules. I don’t have a full time, 8 hour day that I’ll need to attend to, however, I do occasionally have a music gig that will take me away for 4-5 hours at a time. I now offer boarding in addition to occasional in home sits. I have a duplex with a big, fenced in backyard in South Boise Village. It is nearby a dog park and very walkable.

Fantastic job as always. My senior grumpy kitty is in good hands when Sarah watches him.

Sarah did a wonderful job walking our pups while we were out of town! She was on time and very easy to communicate with. I highly recommend her for dog walking!

Schedule

My schedule is fairly open with the nature of my work. I am able to adapt to just about any schedule during the days with 4-5 hour windows for potty breaks if I happen to have a music thing going on. Otherwise, I like to be available to your pets and spend time with them!

Safety, trust & environment

I treat a client's home and animals with respect and cater to the needs that they are accustomed to. I am attentive and understanding of varying needs of the client and their pets. I am a well-kept, clean guest and strive to leave a clean home for my client's to return to. My own home is a safe environment for any kind of temperament in an animal. I don’t have my own pets or any children in the home. I live in a quieter neighborhood with great walking access and a dog park nearby.

A typical day

I will make sure to adapt to whatever your pet is used to or would enjoy on a typical day; playing fetch, going on walks, running, hiking, or just lounging around on the couch for movies and football. I will stick to your pet's usual schedule for meal times, potty breaks, and other activities.

I would love to know any quirks that your pet has or if he/she has a certain preference or routine that I should be aware of! My goal is always to keep your pet as comfortable and happy as possible while they are in my care. It is also helpful to know if your pet has a history of reactivity with other animals or people and what commands they are used to.
