Pet care experience

Specialized in Large Anxious dogs

I have always had large dogs as pets, as well as several cats. Since the age of 5 I have been surrounded by German Shepperds, 200 lb Cane Corso's, Bernese Mountain dogs etc. I have dealt with puppies as young as 3 months old, all the way to dogs aged 14 with hip injuries and sight problems. My family has always relied on me to feed, walk & bathe our pets as I was always asking to have them be a part of the household. I will always ensure your pets feel cared for and loved as if they were my own. I have also worked in rescue centres and as a veterinarian assistant and feel comfortable caring for more complex issues.

Sarah is absolutely incredible. I feel very lucky to have been able to hire her to stop by and spend some time with our shy and skittish German Shepard Trixie. I cannot overstate how genuine and caring Sarah is. She took away the stress of leaving our dog at home, and goes above and beyond for the pets she cares for. I will absolutely be hiring Sarah again in the future if we ever do need someone to take care of our dogs. Truly amazing work, and you will not be disappointed should you hire her. I should also mention that she is able to take absolutely amazing photos of your pets, which will make you feel all the more confident that they are safe and being cared for as if they were her own pets.

Sarah did a fantastic job watching my puppy Riggs! It was his first time away from me and he has seperation anxiety so I was worried how he'd handle it, I spoke to Sarah about it and she was able to reassure me that she has the experience to work with that and it went quite well. She did great at distracting him and keeping him calm, he came back to me a very happy and content boy. I will definitely be a return client as finding people who can work with large breed anxious dogs isn't easy and Riggs absolutely adored Sarah!

Reyna LOVED staying with Sarah! She got lots of cuddles and walks all weekend. Sarah sent us pictures while we were away so we could see our fur baby having the best time. When we picked her up, she had clearly bonded with Sarah - it was hard for Reyna to say goodbye. Highly highly recommend, your fur baby will be so loved staying with Sarah.
