Loving Vet Assistant!

Pet care experience

I worked at an animal hospital for 3 years, and have my bachelors degree in pre-vet studies as well as biology from the University of Nevada, Reno. I also have a master's in public health from UC Berkeley. I have years of experience and am able to care for animals of all kinds and needs, including diabetics! I can administer medication(s), feed, lightly groom, walk, play and comfort while you are away. I can also water plants, bring in your mail, clean, etc. I'm diligent at sending daily updates and pictures throughout your stay. I would love to meet you and your furry friend(s)! Why I love dog sitting I grew up with dogs and cats when I lived with my parents and now I have a dog of my own!

Sarah was wonderful watching our two older cats when we were gone for two weeks. She kept our house feeling lived in, and our cats were well loved. When we got home, our cats weren't even angry at us for being gone! We would ask her back again in a heartbeat!

Sarah is great. I had a last-minute work trip and needed someone to look after my 2 dogs. Sarah responded to my request within minutes and even rearranged her schedule to help watch Bailey and Maggie while I was gone. My dogs immediately liked Sarah when she came over to the house for a meet-and-greet. She had no problems caring for and giving medications to my elderly dog with medical problems. She contacted me every day during my trip with updates and photos. I got home today and the house is clean, the dogs are happy, and so am I! I highly recommend her and will be using her again during all of my future trips. Thank you Sarah.

Sarah is WONDERFUL!!! She has tons of great experience with a variety animals, and since she works in a veterinary hospital can recognize anything that could be serious or an emergency in any case. It was great having Sarah watch my dog, and I had piece of mind knowing my animal was in good hands. She also watched my place for me and checked on my dog multiple times a day, took him on walks, ensured he had proper food and water, and just over all great energy and spirit. She is awesome!!!
