Enthusiastic Dog Lover

Pet care experience

• CPR-certified for CATS & DOGS by the American Red Cross • Dog owner for 21 years • 15 years of experience dog sitting & house sitting *** Please read the following in its entirety as it may contain answers to your questions :) Thank you! *** ABOUT MYSELF: I am 21 years old and am a retired Division 1 College Softball Player. I enjoy going on hikes and and love having a healthy, active, and fit lifestyle! I am currently a full-time college student and have my own small business apart from dog walking. I have a very outgoing and enthusiastic personality and enjoy being around all kinds of animals. I have personally owned two dogs in my lifetime who were both rescues! My first dog's name was Jake and he was a German Shepard who lived 16 healthy years. My current dog's name is Casey (in my profile picture) and she is a 4 year old Beagle Boxer. I have experience with all different sizes and personalities of dogs. Having worked with many different dogs my whole life, I understand that safety & comfort will always be a priority. Every pet will be cared for based on individual needs & environment. BOOKINGS & RATES: - Please refer to the "Services" tab to find my standard rates. - When booking, please select the appropriate service your pet needs. - For liability and other reasons, if your pet requires a walk, please be sure to select "Dog Walking" and NOT "Drop-In Visits". This will avoid any confusion with scheduling, Rover client records, and modifications to your booking. - If you have more than one pet that requires my care, please list them individually on your Rover profile. This will ensure each pet is covered by the Rover Guarantee. Bookings with multiple pets listed as one are subject to price modifications. DAY CARE & BOARDING: - I currently live with my dog loving family of 4 (including myself) and your furry friend will ALWAYS be cared for as if it were our own! - My dog, Casey, is friendly but may be territorial sometimes. However, there has never been an incident where she has harmed or been harmed by others. I will always introduce other dog's one at a time after your dog gets a chance to run, smell, and familiarize itself with my home. Once he/she is settled, that’s when I begin the introduction process. - I live in a house with a fairly large backyard and all dog's will have access to the backyard at all times unless no one is home - I keep a close eye on them when I’m around, and if I need to step out, I will always separate them just in case. - Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed; however, if you are training them not to be, I will implement your rules. - I recommend leaving your dog with a blanket or toy to help ease any separation anxiety your dog may experience. CONSECUTIVE HOURS VISITS: - I provide this service at my "Drop-In Visits" hourly rate. - Standard rate for any additional pet applies. - Depending on the duration of my visit, at least one walk is included and potty breaks as needed. - Please be mindful that consecutive hours visit doesn't allow me to care for other clients (generate potential income) and therefore, my hourly rate for this visit is my minimum and non-negotiable. - If you have multiple pets, I encourage you to reach out to me and I will be more than happy to discuss possible price adjustments. ATTENDANCE: - Please always allow a 15 to 30 minutes grace period for my arrival. Sometimes pets have potty accidents or other incidents that require extra time from me, and ultimately delay my schedule. This is not to say that I do not try to always be on time. COMMUNICATION: - I am open and receptive to discussing options of my rates for different circumstances/pets that do not fall under any of my standard rates. - I am communicative and encourage you to reach out to me with any questions or requests. Thank you in advance for your understanding and consideration. I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING YOU & CARING FOR YOUR PET BABIES!

Sarah was amazing with caring for our three dogs! She came to our home and picked them up and dropped them off which was extremely helpful. She sent us pictures of them on walks and playing in her yard and kept us updated on how they were doing. We are absolutely going to be using Sarah again to look after our dogs.

I never miss a day of getting out in the sun with my dog! I enjoy taking my 4 year old beagle boxer to the Huntington Beach Dog Beach or the La Paws dog park! I am in charge of all duties with my dog. I regularly bathe her once a week, feed her, walk her, and love her!
