Pet care experience
My journey as a dog lover began early, and it's been a rewarding adventure ever since! From the potty training days to the heartwarming cuddles during lazy afternoons, I've had the privilege helping raise two wonderful family dogs from their playful puppy days all the way through their golden years. Both labs – our pup Luna is the sweetest 5 year old, and the other was Bailey, who recently crossed over the rainbow bridge at 14 and a half years old. She was the best, most resilient, and spunky dog our family could ever ask for and we love and miss her dearly. Both pups have been my loyal girls throughout my life and I don’t know what I would do without them! I've also had the pleasure of spending lots of time with and helping raise my brother’s dog Layla who is a pit mix, adopted from my hometowns local animal shelter two years ago. My extensive experience with dogs of all ages has given me a deep understanding of their unique needs and personalities. From the boundless energy of a puppy, to the stormy days filled with the nerves of an anxious pup, to the stubborn yet sweet personality of a senior dog – I've navigated it all with patience, love, and most importantly treats! Since I am so happy to welcome and love every doggo that comes my way, I'm also well-versed in the diversity of breeds and sizes. Whether you have a Yorkie or a Great Dane, I'm comfortable and confident in providing any breed or any size with the care they deserve. I truly believe that every pup has a special place in our hearts and deserves to be treated like family!
Reviews
Sarah was a fantastic sitter. She dropped in to let Sis out, feed her a snack, and play with her while I was at work during the day. She sent me a few pictures each day so I felt at ease, which was important because I am new to the area. Can only imagine Sarah would be just as great at overnights as she was with the drop-in visits. Highly recommended.
Sarah is so good with Dven!
Sarah would be perfect for Rover, she already has two labs at home and she takes such good care of them and makes them feel very comfortable. She feeds them on time, takes them outside, gives them treats and plays with them and gives them a lot of love to make them have a happy home. She is also such a kind person and a very responsible and hardworking person. She is always on time to work and is very trustworthy. I would definitely trust Sarah with my pets.
I think Sarah would be a great pet caregiver. She was the one who really got me into liking dogs a few years ago when I was afraid of them. She’s caring and a loving person and I think she would be perfect for this job.

Information Sarah W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know in advance if there are any special needs, behaviors, or even silly quirks that I should be aware of before meeting your dog. My preference for breeds is that if your dog is of a larger breed, I ask that they be well-trained on a leash (if you've selected a walking service) to avoid being pulled into any potentially dangerous situations. However, I am open to just about anything else, although communication is key!
A typical day
During my visits I'm more than happy to engage in fetch, tug-of-war games, or whatever your dogs favorite form of play is! Additionally, I could take them on walks through the neighborhood, a local park/trail, or even to a dog park to run around and let some energy out. Whatever you and your pup are most comfortable with! After our day of play, I'd love to cuddle up with your pup so they can get a nice nap in after all that excitement (:
