I'll love your pets like my own!
Pet care experience
I've been taking care of animals in some form since far before I could remember. I have experience with cats, dogs, hamsters, hedgehogs, horses, pigs, cattle, sheep, snakes and so much more. I'm skilled in working with large/powerful dogs and reinforcing basic leash training and commands. I have certificates in emergency pet and human first aid and have successfully dealt with all types of dogs. I have a variety of training tips I can share and relish in watching a dog master new commands. I'm just a Mom who loves animals and enjoys caring for them. I've been fortunate enough to have a nice house with a fenced in yard and be able to pursue my dream job of animal care. I'd love to meet your fur baby and see how I could help you with them. Excellent rufferences available!
Reviews
Razzy Dazzy and Rykin were so well cared for! Got daily updates with photos. I had a stress free vacation knowing they were in such good hands.
Sarah is absolutely amazing her attention to detail for your individual pet needs is awesome! Sara is very communicative, reliable and dependable …she is always my go to number one when my Great Dane needs some extra play time why I’m away.
Sarah does such an amazing job with our dog. She is so attentive!
Sarah was fantastic in caring for our elderly dog. She communicated daily with us while we were away and sent pictures of our fur baby. I would highly recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment
I typically use a waist leash with halter to walk dogs, I also keep a slip lead in my bag for escape artists or stressful situations. I've had 2 dogs get off leash in my decades of caring for pets and I was able to get them both back on leash within ten minutes.
Information Sarah W. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if a dog has any allergies/activity restrictions so I can plan our time together appropriately. Any history of aggression, in any form, must also be disclosed.
A typical day
I cater each animal's time with me to their needs and preferences. I believe in supplementing physical exercise with canine enrichment and mental stimulation to properly wear out your fur baby. I make sure to reinforce basic commands like "leave it" or "sit" and frequently teach the long term dogs in my care basic tricks like "paw" or "left/right." All of my walking dogs are taught directional commands "left/right/across" as well as "hold/walk on" and I encourage you to continue using these during your walks.

I only have the jobs of being a Mom and pet care so I am very dedicated to making sure all the animals in my care get plenty of attention. None are left alone more than 4-6 hours, or less if previously agreed upon. Right now I am not able to offer constant care for any pets. Thank you!
