Pet care experience

Cool Walks and Cuddles Club

I’ve had animals in my life since I was a kid—dogs, cats, fish, even a few oddballs—and I’ve loved them all. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’m someone who truly enjoys spending time with animals and learning their personalities. I walk a lot and would love some furry (or feathery, or scaly!) friends to join me on my adventures. I’ve been walking my friends’ dogs for years just for fun, and figured—why not turn it into a side gig? I’m just getting started, but I’m excited to build a profile and a positive reputation in the community as someone pets (and their people!) can count on. I have my own aquarium and know a ton about fish tank care, so I’m great with aquatic pets too. The quirkier the animal, the more I’m into it! Whether your pet is a couch potato or a weirdo with a routine, I’ll meet them where they are. I’m also LGBTQ+ friendly and welcome all kinds of people and pets—kindness and respect are a big deal to me, on both ends of the leash.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I don’t care for pets in my own home, but I’m happy to pick up your pet and take them on safe walking adventures to nearby parks! I always prioritize your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine—whether it’s a quick drop-in or a longer visit. I’m not a professional, but I truly care and I’m always willing to learn. I follow your instructions closely (meds, feeding, tank care, litter box scooping—whatever you need) and treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I also keep you in the loop with updates and photos, so you always know your pet is happy and safe.

Sarah did a phenomenal job checking on our cats. While we were on vacation our home experienced severe weather (totally unexpected) and lost power. Normally, I would have been an anxious mess. But, Sarah was great and her updates made me feel comfortable......so we enjoyed our family vacation! Thank you Sarah!

Sarah was simply fantastic. Our two dogs absolutely enjoyed their stay with her and we felt total peace of mind knowing that Sarah was taking such good care of them. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sarah again.

Sarah was wonderful! She was incredibly patient with both my pup and me. He can be a bit anxious and isn’t used to being away from his family, but Sarah took the time to help him feel comfortable and secure enough to enjoy his walk. Her communication was excellent, and I felt confident that she would treat him with kindness and compassion!

Schedule

I work full-time Monday through Thursday on second shift, but I’m available for quick drop-ins before and after work (yes, even after 1am—for those late-night litter scoopings or fish feedings!). Fridays through Sundays, I’m wide open and fully available for your pet’s lounging, snacking, and playing needs. Whether it’s a moody cat, a chill lizard, small rodent or an aquarium that needs some TLC, I’m happy to work them into my routine—they make life better!

I love all kinds of pets—especially the quirky ones! That said, it’s super helpful to know ahead of time if your pet has any special needs, allergies, food sensitivities, or medical issues. Are they allowed treats? Do they have favorite commands, routines, or hiding spots? Are they an expert escape artist or part-time drama queen? How do they do on walks? The more I know, the better I can keep them safe, happy, and totally in their element.
