Communicative Reliable Experienced

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm Sarah Jean, and am a mother to a dog and a cat. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and exotics. My primary position is as an elementary school teacher, which allows me the time and resources to care full time for your pet during my breaks. Having to be communicative, trustworthy, and reliable for my occupation naturally translates to working with and for your pet. I take direction well, am flexible, and love my animals more than anything in this world, so I know how important your pet is to you. I am happy to have your pet come into my home or to visit and care for your pet as much and often as you may need. Please understand that meet and greets are required, and all bookings must give at least 96 hours prior to schedule a meet and greet. Please understand that it is the expectation that all interactions are respectful, honest, and kind. Deviation from this expectation may result in a cancellation or report at any point in time. Working as a teacher allows me months and weeks at a time where I am available 24/7 to visit and work with your pet. Your pet can have my friendly dog as a play date or be on his/her own as much as needed. My routine is beautifully flexible and will make it easy to accommodate your needs. I have to pass background checks for my occupation, and being trusted with people's human children on a daily basis means that I am going to feel comfortable being trusted with your pet child. I know how it feels to choose someone with whom to trust your pet, and I will take this job as seriously as I would want someone to if they were caring for my pets.

Sarah was amazing. She was patient with Scotti and ensured she got out enough and was taken care of. She sent lots of pictures and was very responsive. She even left the tv on for Scotti when no one was home which is so sweet! I will definitely book her again.

Information Sarah W. would like to know about your pet

It is important to know your dog's needs that are behavioral, preferable, and health-oriented to ensure that your dog is safe, happy, and healthy throughout the duration of the stay. Animal instincts can include fear-based reactions and protective behaviors, and I'd like your animal to feel comfortable with me beforehand to ensure that their working with me is a fun and easy experience. This can be knowing how and when they like to be petted, how to approach them the first time we are alone, and knowing whether they're prone to overheating or running. I have a female dog of my own, and could tell you everything about her personality to ensure her happiness and safety, and want to learn everything about your animals to ensure that they enjoy their experience. Animals are surprisingly complex beings with their own identities and senses of autonomy. It is important to me to not only know your pet's behaviors and health needs, but to also learn how to make them feel happy.

A typical day

We often go to the pond at Chaparral Dog Park and other similar areas for walks. I have Mushers cream for your dogs' feet if needed in the heat, and am happy to walk the dogs around the local neighborhood or a preferred park if this is more comfortable.
