Pet care experience
I have had 5 dogs (at times we even had 6) for the past 12 years...and I can truly say Dogs are my life. I am the main caretaker for our crew. I'm responsible for their feeding, grooming and daily walks. I get the not so fun duties too, like poo cleanup and vet appointments but I love them like their my children so I do it gratefully. I have cared for dogs, cats and birds for 3 of my neighbors as well. I have been in situations where I have found injured animals and have had to drop everything and rush them to the nearest emergency veterinarian clinic. I've been in dangerous situations and had to break up fights between pit bulls as well. I've also volunteered at the Humane Society for a couple of years, helping with dog adoption events and also volunteering at the Dobbins facility socializing cats who are waiting to be adopted.
Reviews
It is so awesome having Sarah look after our cats while we're away. We were gone for a week this time, but I knew that they were in good hands! I really appreciate the notes she leaves about the cats and how and what they're doing. And the pictures Sarah sends are both comforting and entertaining. Even my most timid cat will come out so see her when she visits...she's that good!
Thanks to Sarah, I was able to have a great birthday weekend! She is super reliable, and sets our minds at ease that our cats will be taken good care of when we are away.
Sarah is a great communicator about when she is on her way to take care of our cats as well as how they are doing while we're gone! We love all the pictures, too!
Sarah once again went above and beyond for us and our cats! She is so thoughtful, and takes such good care of everything during her visits!

I find that each situation and home and pet is different so it all depends on my clients needs. Its very important to have any pertinent information regarding doors that must be closed and/or locked or left open, any medical or dietary issues I need to be aware of, behavioral issues or concerns. I make sure to ask the right questions and get all the information clearly communicated. I am very aware around my own pets and those of my clients and notice when there is a difference in behavior, poo, activity level and report any concerns immediately to pet parents. I'm extremely cautious when coming into contact with other people or pets while taking your dog(s) on a walk - I keep my space and keep your pet safe.
Information Sarah T. would like to know about your pet
Any health or behavioral issues need to be discussed. I like to know what kind of things excite and/or scare your pet, also the things your pet enjoys, likes, can be used as rewards.
A typical day
My dogs and I love walking along the canal by our house because we get to see ducks, birds and all kinds of other wildlife that we wouldn't normally see in the city.

Availability
I work part time so I have plenty of time and a lot of flexibility to be there for my pet clients. I hope to make this my full time and only job as I absolutely can't think of anything I would rather do....you will never work a day in your life if you love what you do.
