Experienced and flexible schedule!

Pet care experience

I have been watching and walking dogs and cats (and a few other types of animals!) since I was 15. I love going on long walks, playing fetch or tug, or whatever your dog's needs are. I have experience with puppies as well. I have watched tiny Chihuahuas all the way up to Great Danes. No dog is too small or too large for me to love on. :) My day job is very flexible and I can leave to go on walks or to just go hang out with your pup during the day! I also have experience giving medicine to dogs while their owners were away. I work Sunday mornings and M-Thursday, so I am available most weekends. I can be available as much as you need during the day!

Sarah was absolutely wonderful. I have two rescue pups that have been a handful for others in the past and both are very particular. I have never come back to them so calm after a prolonged trip!! Sarah was communicative, professional and flexible. I will absolutely be booking with her whenever possible in the future. 1000% would recommend!!

Sarah did a great job and we couldn't be happier. She was very patient with one of our dogs who was skittish and gave us peace of mind while we were on our trip.

Sarah has watched my dog Stella twice now, and I always know she’s in such good hands. Stella is a bigger dog and has quirks and some reactivity on the leash - Sarah is super professional in handling her, and I love how often she communicates about how Stella is doing. I highly recommend her as a sitter!

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure back gates/fences are secure and that I am not distracted by my cell phone or anything else prior to a walk. I believe that I am extremely conscientious and will leave your home exactly as you left it!

Information Sarah W. would like to know about your pet

I love to meet my pets under care ahead of time so we can get to know each other and get the lay of the land. But I’m flexible if you have an emergency!

A typical day

There are a ton of trails where I live and I enjoy exploring them. I’ve recently returned to Durham after being away so I’m looking to find new spaces. Does your dog have any favorite walking routes?

My job is very flexible, so I can leave for a lunch break or mid morning or whenever. My dog and I like to get up early for walks, so if you need an early walker, I’m good!
