Not to brag, but I make tails wag!
Pet care experience
I have had a love of dogs ever since I was young, which I have taken a step further in adulthood by diving into literature on dog behavior, cognition, emotion, and positive reinforcement techniques. In 2020, I learned how to quickly read body language of new dogs working in a busy pet store in Chicago. I am a current volunteer at the Wisconsin Humane Society where I have received training in dog and cat handling and body language. In addition, I am an experienced walker with over 83 five star reviews on a similar app, Wag! I would love to meet your animal and promise that I will treat them with as much care and love as my own.
Reviews
Sarah did a wonderful job with Harry. She took him to the local dog park per request and tired him out by walking him & playing fetch. She made sure to bring enough water & to allow for hydration breaks. Will be requesting Sarah again!
Sarah is amazing! I have known Sarah for several years and I trust her completely with my four-legged child. We have a hound who is a real handful but I trust Sarah to be patient and calm but firm and follow through with our training protocols. She absolutely adores animals of all types and treats them with respect and love. You couldn't ask for more in a pet sitter!
Sarah has been a dedicated, reliable, friendly, and knowledgeable dog walker and dog sitter for me for the past 13+ years. I know firsthand that she works incredibly well with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, having had an anxiety-ridden 10 pound Teddy Bear that she worked with first to my current dog, a shy yet happy 79 pound Australian Shepherd Poodle mix. Having worked at a pet store for a few years, Sarah understands dog behavior well and is well-versed in positive reinforcement techniques. Additional to her expertise is her timeliness and superb communication skills - she has never been late to or absent from a scheduled walk or sit, and she communicates clearly and efficiently. On top of it all, her love and care for all dogs is unmatched.

Safety, trust & environment
I always approach new animals with assertive, calm energy. If they are nervous, I don’t try to touch them right away and simply sit on the floor and let them warm up to me at their own pace. On the other hand, if they are super friendly I will be ecstatic to lavish attention on them. For dog walking, to give maximum stimulation, I typically let your dog go on a “sensory walk” where they pick the route and stop to sniff everything their heart desires! I am young and energetic and like to go on long walks or runs if your pup has high stamina (and I’m sure you’ll appreciate how tired out they will be!). I take all owner instructions very seriously as you know your animal best and do my best to leave detailed notes about my visits!
Information Sarah W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know ahead of time of any triggers that your dog has on walks or if you have any training protocols that you would like me to follow to maintain consistency in their schedule.
A typical day
It gives me so much joy to see a happy animal. Whether they love tons of affection, lots of playtime, or just enjoying some co-existing with a human while you’re away, I’m happy to provide!
