Pet care experience
I have been an animal lover from day one, growing up in a household full of pets, I've taken care of them all! I grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes - my dad was a canine officer so we had rottweilers and german shepherds growing up. I am currently in the process of applying to veterinary school and just finished an internship with the California Wildlife Center in Malibu where I worked in rescue and rehabilitation! In addition to my 20+ years of personal experience with dogs, I have 4 years experience working in a small animal veterinary clinic, a dog rescue in Thailand (over 400 dogs!), and have volunteered with various dog adoption agencies across Los Angeles. Very honest and compassionate, I will be sure to provide the utmost care and companionship for your dog while you're away! I love going on walks and hikes and am good with medications and treatments if needed.
Reviews
Sarah did an excellent job. The cats were well cared for and happy when I hit back. Thanks Sarah!
I know that if Sarah cares for my pets, they are in the best hands possible next to my own. Sarah truly loves animals and knows how to provide loving, responsible care for them. Dogs can sense when someone is an animal person, and my dogs immediately took a liking to Sarah and seemed very comfortable with her...which is not always the case. She understands animal behavior, has experience assisting veterinarians in treating animals, and takes the care and safety of my dogs seriously. They enjoy her company and are always so excited to see her. I used to have reservations about traveling when I couldn't take my dogs with me but now that I've found Sarah, I am able to plan trips knowing that my dogs (and cats) are in good hands. I am so thrilled to have finally found someone whom I trust with my furry babies.
I have known Sarah for over ten years, and she is a wonderful caregiver for any and all pets. Sarah is not only an animal lover, she's smart and intuitive to the needs of animals, even if she has only recently met them. She is well versed in the knowledge of dog behavior as well--she emphasizes kind correction and is never aggressive or reactive. I would trust Sarah to walk and care for a variety of breeds and ages as well. Her knowledge, empathy, and positive attitude make her a great choice!
