Caring medical student/animal lover

Pet care experience

Hello there, my name is Sarah and I love all pets: dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, birds, fish, you name it! I took a break from Rover for a few years because I had my own elderly pet who has since crossed over the rainbow bridge. I miss caring for animals and I’m back! I provide drop-in visits for any pets as well as dog walking services. I also offer boarding in my home which includes walks and a lot of playing. I have experience looking after all sorts of dogs, from mini poms to large malamutes and everything in between. I have experience caring for cats as well. I have had both dogs and cats as personal pets, as well as birds and other small mammals. I am a responsible medical student. I love taking long walks especially by the river or in one of many city parks. Your pet’s safety is my number one priority. As long as your pet is in my care, I will ensure that they abide by the rules you expect them to follow. However, I won't hesitate to shower them with a TON of love and affection! Your pet will be in for a treat: lots of attention, walks, playing, and belly rubs. You can reach me anytime via text/phone/e-mail. I know how anxiety-inducing it can be to be apart from your beloved pet, so I will make sure to send regular picture and video updates. Rest assured, your pet will be a happy camper with me. Just check out my reviews! I want to make sure that you can get quality pet care at an affordable rate, so please message me if you’d like to negotiate for longer bookings.

I really appreciated all the pictures and constant check in since it was milo’ first away - he’s quite shy but he seemed to really enjoy sarah and have fun with her! only thing i’d change is that he came home with more food than expected - he usually eats a bit more than what google says a mini dachshund should eat because he’s on the bigger side but that’s my bad for not mentioning that. would definitely book again!

Sarah was responsive, thoughtful and wonderful with Bode. We felt at ease while we were away for 3 days knowing that he was being well cared for-daily walks, tummy rubs and updates with photos! We will definitely reach out to Sarah again!!

It was our first time leaving our pup for a couple of days. Sarah was so patient with our pup adjusting to the new environment. She communicated with us daily, sharing updates and pictures. It was clear that our pup got very snuggly and comfortable with her very quickly. We will 110% trust her with our pup in the future!

When do you need my services? Does your pet have a veterinarian (if so what is their contact info)? How old is your pet? What is their energy level, relaxed or very active and playful? Does your pet have any special behaviours or needs that I should be aware of, such as allergies, medications, aggression to other animals, etc.? What are your rules that I should respect?

We can go on your usual city route, or if you'll allow me, I will take them for a walk by the river or a large park in the city.
