Safety, trust & environment

I always approach caring for animals with safety and respect as a first priority. It is important to me that both the dog and I are safe, and that I am attuned to their needs. I also want to prioritize respect for other people's space and time, so I make an effort to always be on time and adapt to any individual requests in people's homes.

Dog lover with a calm presence :)

Pet care experience

Taking care of dogs was the first job I ever had. Neighbors would have me come over after school to check in with their babies and play with them or take them on walks. I've also been lucky enough to watch people's dogs while they were out of town; including puppies! Most recently, I volunteered at an animal shelter where we would take animals for walks, train them, bathe them, and shower them with love and treats! Every dog is unique, and I enjoy taking the time to get to know each animal and their family.

Sarah helped us with our dog when we were out for a few days. She confirmed the booking at short notice, came for a meet-and-greet, and was super flexible with timings and booking modifications. I am very likely to ask Sarah to house sit and walk our dog again!

Highly recommend Sarah if you need someone to watch your fur baby! Sarah has watched my dogs over the years, so I know she can handle any dog, and any size (any poo size too, nothing scares Sarah!) She has provided my little ones with nice long walks, overnight sitting, and check-in’s. I really appreciate her patience and understanding of different fur baby personalities. I do not just trust anyone with my baby’s these days, so my trust with Sarah means a lot to me. My little ones love and trust Sarah and I know I can count on her.

Sarah has cared for many dogs for friends, neighbors and family over the years, and I’ve watched how naturally she adapts to the needs of a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Even at a young age, dogs are drawn toward her. She’s patient, responsible, and genuinely loves every dog she meets and I could not be prouder of the loving and responsible caregiver she has become. She is committed to giving every dog the best possible love and care. Any pet parent would be lucky to have her.
