I currently work a full time job in the hospital and work variable shifts. Always open to take a look at your requests and see if it will match up with my work schedule! If it lands on days I do work, I will be there before and after work as well as sleep in your home if that is your request. Days that I don’t work, I’ll be there more frequent.

Information Sarah S. would like to know about your pet

Other dog aggression, dislikes/likes, special treat/diet requirements, if your pet requires any medications or has an ailments I should watch for. Does pet prefer lots of attention, or just a simple pet and a walk or food/water? Is your cat more skittish or outgoing, do they attempt escapes when door opens?

A typical day

Lots of pets, praise and play! We will go for nice leashed walks, backyard playtime, snuggles and treats if allowed! If your pet requires any medication, I am able to administer.

Pets

I love all animals!

Pet care experience

I love animals and have grown up with them. I have over 15 years of experience working with, and being around all kinds of animals, breeds, and temperaments. My experience with dogs includes my own, pet sitting (long term & short term), working as a veterinary assistant and interning at the zoo. I have a very calm, and patient personality, this often works well for dogs - especially those that are more nervous. I have worked with senior pets, puppies, experience administering medications, etc. I get to know your furry family member and observe behaviors and what they like and don’t like. Also paying attention to change in behavior. I took a break from offering pet care services due to life changes, which is why there’s a gap between previous and most current pet care, but I am excited to get back to doing what I enjoy most! 😊

I wasn't sure how my dog, Rosie, would react to boarding. She tends to be very nervous about new situations and places but did just fine under Sarah's care. Rosie is always eager to see Sarah when we arrive at her home.

Our sweet girl came home tired and happy. Thank you for taking good care of her. Sarah was very easy to work with and very responsive to a last minute booking.
