Warm, loving - dog lover
Pet care experience
Have lived with and loved dogs all my life; Labs & German Shepherds growing up in England and loved raising & training my own Kerry Blues when the kids were young in the Hudson Valley. Sadly we had to say goodbye to 'Exy' a Finish-Fritz mix last year and miss him terribly, a most devoted companion. Am intuitive and feel well versed in interpreting dog signals! Currently, have lots of indoor and outdoor space and am quite liberal in giving dogs plenty of freedom inside & keen oversight outside, enjoy their cuddliness but am most respectful of your wishes and promise to abide by whatever your qualifications and standards of care might be, so that a consistency of care remains at home and while visiting.
Reviews
Sarah instantly connected with our dog when we first met and is so warm and friendly. He was well cared for during his stay and we really appreciated Sarah keeping us updated with photos. She was detailed in her questions to us to make sure she maintained his normal routine. A great experience.
Sarah was positively wonderful. She is the perfect sitter, especially for (our) mercurial, small dogs. She was so caring and doting with them - we could not ask for a better sitter. Her experience and professionalism shine through and give you (and your dogs) the Peace of Mind that only a sitter like Sarah can offer. She is thoughtful, compassionate and kindhearted. We will be going back to Sarah for all or dog sitting needs. Thank You Sarah!
Sarah is a wonderful help. We are so grateful we found her. Our dogs are not easy to get to know but she got them in-tune right away. You can be sure we’ll be seeking her professional touch again and again. Our Highest Recommendation!
June had a great time with Sarah during her recent overnight stay. Sarah was communicative, offering the chance to meet up beforehand, and sharing updates and images so we knew June was in good hands and doing ok. She is located in a beautiful country area and took June on several long walks during her stay. Importantly, Sarah was able to be flexible when it came to drop off and pickup, which was a real help during this recent trip. Will definitely be booking again when the need arises.

I do not have a fenced in yard but the house is up high and set back from the road. I do most of the walks around the corner, on rural quiet roads and quick outdoor visits on our 6 acres out back.

I work part-time in the neighborhood but I have no particular schedule and most of my work is home/computer-based and I can generally take them with me on errands unless they would prefer not to do short car trips.
