Belly rubs, snuggles, fetch, tug

Pet care experience

I adore all animals! I've been around dogs most of my life, and I've taken care of all different sizes and breeds. I have loved them all! I generally have a calming personality that most dogs seem to truly appreciate, and I have been known to turn non-snugglers into snugglers, at least with me. I am excellent at spoiling dogs with belly rubs and ear scratches, and I love playing fetch and tug-of-war with them. I always keep a bag with me when I walk dogs. It contains collapsible water bowls, water, treats, bags, toys, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, and bug spray. I do my best to strictly adhere to owners' notes as to not undo any training that has already been bestowed upon the dog.

Sarah is a wonderful human being and my dog absolutely adores being with her. I have used Sarah many times, and I am always satisfied with how the pup is afterwards and the condition of the house. She is respectful, reliable, follows instructions and is always on time. Thank you l!

Sarah was incredible! I am so grateful to have found her to watch my baby. She was extremely responsive, respectful and meticulous about the instructions. He is easy but is also a trained guard dog, so it was important that I found someone who was comfortable with a 85lb puppy. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better for my first time leaving. I will keep rebooking her! Thank you!

Sarah did a great job with our Boston Linder. Linder can be crabby but Sarah came to the house twice to get to know her. She stayed over with Linder while we were out of town and took her for walks. We felt comfortable with Sarah watching our furbaby and staying in our home. We loved the pics and video we received and highly recommend Sarah!

Information Sarah W. would like to know about your pet

I do not have a breed preference. I would like to know if the dog is aggressive, good at following leash commands, has any triggers, allergies, or food/treat preferences, and if it has all equipment (harnesses, leashes, collars, kennels, etc.) in order to assure a safe and successful visit.

A typical day

I love exploring dog-owners' neighborhoods! Usually dogs already have their own circuit in place by the time I get to know them. I love to play in yards or neighborhood dog parks, fetching, frisbee, tug-of-war, and the like.
