Reliable, experienced farm girl

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Sarah, I graduated in 2019 from Virginia Tech with a Bachelors in Animal and Poultry Sciences. I starting pet sitting around 8 years ago and I have worked at 2 pet resorts/boarding facilities over the past 6 years. I have worked at many horse and livestock farms over the years - so I have experiences with all house pets as well as farm animals such as horses, chickens, cattle, pigs. I also have a dog of my own - George, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. I have experience with special needs dogs, senior dogs, administering medication, training devices such as clickers, e-collars, and prong collars. I love and care for the babies I watch just like my own. As a dog parent myself, I know how important it is to find the right person to trust with your pet while you can’t be with them! Contact me anytime and we can set up a time for you and your pup to meet me. I am currently working Monday to Thursday 9am-4:30pm and Friday 9am-3pm I can do home visits before/after work or on weekends. I am also willing to do overnight stays in owners house and in certain situations - in home boarding in my home. I have a 1 acre backyard on a creek for the dogs to swim in if they please. I have a dog for your pup to play with and keep your fur-child active. I am stashed with lots of toys and balls for fetch - or you can bring your own! It’s best if your dog is crate-trained for in-house boarding. If you’re unable to bring a crate I do have a few extra.

Sarah has pet sat for us for years. Our dog Ollie absolutely loves her. He is deaf and is high energy. She is great meeting his needs. She has taken care of him for a week at a time. She is great at exercising him, feeding him, and often takes him with her when she goes places. She goes out of her way to make him happy.

Excellent! Sarah is a super trustworthy dog sitter! She cares for my pups like they are her own. I will use her again very soon.

My wife hired Sarah to watch our young Labrador while we went on vacation. Sarah sent photos everyday of our happy Maggie out on adventures with her. They went hiking multiple times. We also came home to a clean, happy dog who was freshly bathed.

Sarah is the SWEETEST ANIMAL PERSON!! I met Sarah while she was working at an equestrian center where she was teaching people with disabilities to ride horses. Her patience, consistency, & talent is unmatched. Watching her work with the horses, is what made her my first call when I needed a dog sitter. Sarah’s love & patience for my feisty 8 month old Labrador was a gift. I got to go on vacation and know that my dog was sweetly cared for & I got photos everyday!! Don’t hesitate… hire her!!
