Message me for my availability

Pet care experience

For availability: I’m free for walks, drop ins, house sitting, and training! If you would like me to work with your dog on basic obedience or tricks during my visit with them, feel free to let me know! I love animals and I have my own 2 year old golden retriever named Nala. I live in an apartment complex located in Greentree, PA and have a lot of flexibility when it comes to transportation. I have been training my golden retriever since she was a puppy, and she recently got her therapy dog certification. (Therapy Dogs International). I have experience with many different breeds of all ages, as well as some senior dog experience. I absolutely love animals and connect with them a lot. I am open to doggy day care in my home (apartment) and can take 1-2 dogs in at a time. I currently charge more for puppies under 6 months old, due to it costing me sleep, time, + energy. About me: I have a degree in interior architecture, and work part time doing other stuff! I’m working on obtaining my architect license. However, I love animals & will always include them in my future path!! I like to take hikes on the weekends and I also love to take photos. I have fully trained 2 dogs and they get compliments on how well their obedience is, so with that being said, I would be interested in helping to add some basic obedience commands for your dog/puppy. I can successfully train - sit, down, stay, stand, heel, hold, circle, variety of tricks like paw + spin, etc.. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions - I can try my best to accommodate you and your furry friend! I live in an apartment, however, I have access to sidewalks + green space. I am open to taking your experienced or trained dog on a hike/trail if you wanted. I use Settlers Cabin Park in Robinson, PA for shaded trails.

Sarah did two drop in visits over Christmas, and was great with both of my dogs! She was very kind and listened to specific things requested. She was very quick with responses and sent a lot of pictures/notes. I highly recommend Sarah for any of your dog needs :)

Very flexible and I was very asures I didn’t have to worry about my baby the whole time. She was entertained and well taken care of and had a buddy to play with while I was gone.

Information Sarah S. would like to know about your pet

Yes, I would prefer to know a little about the dog before sitting him/her. I don't have a dog preference and would love to hear all about your dogs favorite treats and toys.

A typical day

Walking around the Greentree neighborhood, playing fetch or any other game that your dog enjoys, and giving mental stimulation games because I think that it is extremely important to animals.
