Dog Lover & Golden Owner

Pet care experience

Hey I'm Sarah! I grew up never owning a dog and now as an adult I can't get enough time with them! I brought home an extremely friendly Golden Retriever a year ago, so all of my clients' furry companions will have a little buddy to keep them company during their stay! I have watched a variety of breeds: Golden Retriever, Shih Tzu, Australian Cattle-Catahoula, Brittany, Carolina Dog, Husky, Poodle, Blood Hound, Bulldog, Pomeranian, Border Collie, Doberman, Chihuahua-Yorkie and am extremely eager to watch many many more! About my home: I live in a two story house with carpet only on the second floor and a fairly large open floor plan, which is convenient for playtime. I have moderately-sized fenced-in yard, which has proven perfect for even the most energetic dog. I live in a quiet, low traffic neighborhood, which makes for excellent dog-walking conditions. Please take a look at my calendar to see if we're available during the dates you need a sitter, it breaks my heart to turn down pups because I'm not available! Give me a chance to fall in love with your companion, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're getting the attention they need while you're away!

Sarah was a great sitter for my two babies, Riley and Maggie, while I was out of town for a weekend. She really made me feel like she cared about my dogs as though they were her own. She kept me updated with pictures and stories and was very responsive. Will definitely be using her again!

Sarah was absolutely wonderful with our Great Dane pup. Piper is a very big girl and can have some separation anxiety and be whiny. Sarah and her golden retriever, Russell, gave her lots of attention! Sarah sent us multiple videos and pictures each day of Piper having fun with Russell. We didn’t have to worry at all because we knew Piper was in good hands. She even gave Piper a bath (with our permission) so when we picked her up she was nice and clean! We would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter! Thank you, Sarah!

Information Sarah S. would like to know about your pet

How do they respond to seeing other dogs (aggressive/excited/etc)? Do they have separation anxiety (how severe is it/do they become destructive)? How well do they respond to commands? Are they allowed on furniture? Do you allow them to sleep in bed? What are their favorite games? Do thunderstorms give them anxiety?

A typical day

We live in a residential neighborhood, equipped with sidewalks and low traffic streets. Our moderately-sized fenced in backyard is great for fetch and other fun and our two story house has many beds/couches perfect for napping!
