Pet care experience
Highly experienced dog owner and pet sitter (over eleven years of experience walking dogs and staying overnight). Dog mom to a seven year old rescue named Tippy, whom I raised from the time he was 15 weeks old. College graduate--degree in Biological Sciences. Former (human) Dermatological Medical Assistant. I now work full-time as an All-Star Real Estate Agent with a flexible schedule. Nine years experience working at a pool where dogs come for aquatic exercise, be it for rehab, long term orthopedic issues, or just taking the edge off! Sensitive and aware of different dogs' temperaments and needs, and able to accommodate effectively any dog. My favorite places to walk dogs are Eastport, Downtown Annapolis and Quiet Waters Park, but will be happy to walk in any neighborhood. I work hard on obedience with my dog, and have taught my dog and other dogs many "tricks"--I enjoy mental exercise with dogs the same as I enjoy the physical exercise. Much experience with (and MUCH LOVE for) geriatric animals! Other animals I have cared for: cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, goats, chickens, snakes, frogs. Yes, I love dogs, but I don’t discriminate! **CARING FOR YOUR PETS IS MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY!** I do not plan on letting my dog, family, or friends accompany me on any jobs unless otherwise discussed with you, the pet owner. Honesty, accountability, and doing what I love are what all my values are based on. "If you are lucky enough to own a dog, then you are lucky enough!"
Reviews
I trust Sarah explicitly. Our dog is a puppy and my does all the puppy stuff (jumps, overly playful, etc.) but she’s professional and handles him with the best of care. He’s a handful but she is always positive and truly loves pets.
Sarah is great and took good care of our babies. We’ll definitely be using her again.
Sarah was great with the boys! Good communicator & prompt. Felt comfortable leaving my babies in her care!
Sarah did an incredible job taking care of our kittens! She was incredibly communicative. This is the longest they have been left in a couple years, so it as great having someone who clearly cared about the cats and who checked in every day.

During our Meet and Greet, I discuss with owner about the pets’ specific needs and typical routine. ***Please also be sure to fill out all information in the app correctly (photos, address, pet info and care instructions), as this will help me to help you! I do not typically book with clients without meeting first.*** PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME TO HOLD YOUR KEY. Please provide a lockbox or code for access instead.
Information Sarah S. would like to know about your pet
Please be sure to fill out all profile information before our Meet and Greet visit. Is your pet a rescue? No breed preferences, but would like to know possible/definitive breed(s) to help me better understand the temperament of the animal. How does your dog typically react to other dogs, people, squirrels, rabbits, etc? Is your pet sociable? Generally, for safety and liability reasons, when I am walking a dog we don't greet other dogs or humans. Does your pet have any known medical conditions? Who is your pet's veterinarian? What vaccinations has your dog received and when?
A typical day
We will go on walks in your neighborhood or wherever you desire. We will work on training and obedience as needed, and if desired by you, we will work on learning new tricks.
