Energetic and Loving Dog Walker
Pet care experience
I have 6 years of dog walking and dog sitting experience. The oldest dog I took care of was 16 and the youngest was 2 months, so I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and needs. For example, the 16-year-old dog had to maintain a strict medicine regimen every day, and the youngest needed to walk four miles each day. I grew up with three dogs, a Standard Poodle, a Corgi, a viszla and Double Doodle. I adore running around and playing with dogs, cuddling with them, and teaching them tricks. I will clean them, feed them, brush them, give them their medications, etc. I am very responsible and will follow every guideline set forth by the dog owner. I am a clear communicator and always on time.

Sarah is a reliable friend and a competent worker and I know these attributes would serve her well as a dog walker at Rover! Dogs will adore her and their owners will be glad to know their furry friends are in good hands.
Sarah is a wonderful, sweet person, and she is the best with dogs! She is also highly responsible, trustworthy, and super helpful! I would certainly recommend hiring her to walk your pups!
I was a professor at Sarah's college and one day I brought my dogs into the office. I have an Australian Sheppard rescue named Cash who's pretty friendly but he's a rescue so I wanted to work on socializing him. When Sarah came in for office hours she took to him right away and they bonded well enough that when she asked if I needed any help walking him, I said yes. She's got a lot of energy and was very cordial when she came over. I left instructions for the route we usually take and she'd walk Cash on and off for the two years she had left at the college. They became great friends and it helped me out a bunch because I could travel and instead of boarding the dog she would just pop over and feed and play with him and make sure the house was okay. I think she'd be great at something like this.
Sarah has been a wonderful dog walker and caregiver. Lenny and George can get jumpy and excited but she has always been able to keep them calm and controlled around other dogs. She spends time throwing the ball for Lenny when I have long shifts at work and is flexible when my work hours are unpredictable. Lenny must be bathed every other day, George sees the dentist every other week, and both have a strict Tuesday / Friday afternoon playdate schedule. Sarah makes sure these tasks are done consistently. I have also had Sarah work with a chef to make sure she is able to properly prepare an individual meal for each dog. These meals must be in line with their dietary restrictions. Sarah has been very easy in giving her time into the cooking classes and the chauffering of Lenny and George to their various appointments. This is, of course, in addition to her reliable dog walking abilities. My dogs must stay away from mud Monday - Thursday due to their heavy grooming and show schedule. As a result, Sarah arranges to take them to an indoor park. We expect a lot from our dog walker! And Sarah has exceeded all of our expectations. As we are moving and I can no longer steal her for myself (shame!) it is time I give her the glowing recommendation she deserves. I highly recommend Sarah -- it is time that others may also enjoy her company and exceptional service.
About Sarah T.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
How I care for the pet depends on the clients home and the dogs needs/age/energy/health/etc. I can bathe dogs, give them their medicine, exercise with them, etc.
Information Sarah T. would like to know about your pet
I don’t have any preferences or requests. If you have any questions, let me know and we can communicate from there. Thank you very much!
A typical day
I find that dogs often love mentally stimulating games like hide and seek with either humans or toys/balls — it gets them exercise while also stimulating their minds
Services
Sarah can watch in your home
Availability
I am currently working part time virtually so my schedule is very flexible. Due to my flexible schedule I can work around the routines of the dogs I care for
