Former dog foster with flexibility

Pet care experience

Not only did I grow up with dogs my whole life, but I have also fostered with Austin Pet's Alive (APA) and have worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I must say, I absolutely fell in love with each and every one of them. I'd be happy to give your fur family a bit of extra love while you're away! Through APA I have learned some minor training tricks, so I'm happy to continue whatever training you're already trying to work through with your pet(s) so that they're getting continuous positive reinforcement. Just tell me whatever you need, and I'm more than happy to help.

Sarah has been so helpful with my very reactive dog. She’s been using training techniques on their walks and he’s been responding well!

Sarah was very communicative leading up to and during her visits, and provided great report cards with very cute photos. I’ll be excited to work with Sarah again in the future!
