Pets aren't pets, they're family.
Pet care experience
Most of my life, I've grown up and cared for all kinds of dogs and cats. Walking, feeding and caring for them is always a joy. I'm very comfortable around all dogs, big or small, old or young, and most cats. Administering medication, if needed, is not a problem, and I strive to keep them as entertained as if you were around, so I think daily walks and playtime are a must.
Reviews
Sarah W. cancelled a booking after the stay began.
Sarah was fantastic! She sent many photos of my dogs and updates. I know they liked her too, as my one dog only plays with his toys when he's happy and comfortable, which he did. I would highly recommend Sarah and we plan to reach out to her services in the future!
Sarah did a wonderful job taking care of our cat. She was able to gain his trust and spend time with him. It made our time away so much less stressful knowing he was in good hands. Sarah went above and beyond and we can't thank her enough!
Sarah has been dropping by to give my dog Nilla a potty break. She’s super communicative and lets me know her ETA - I can always message her and get a response. She came over to do a meet and greet beforehand to ask questions which was awesome. Would definitely recommend Sarah!

Safety, trust & environment
I work to make sure every pet and home they're in are well looked after. Messes will be taken care of and any further or specific instruction followed. My goal is to leave your home just the way you left it.
Information Sarah W. would like to know about your pet
The most important thing is getting a general sense of your pet's personality and behaviors from those that know them best, and it's a good way to try and prevent any problems that could arise. I also like to know what kind of feeding schedule your pet is on. I think trying to keep consistency is important in keeping stress levels low while your away. On the same note, any medications or allergies your pet may have is important as well.
A typical day
I love being outdoors, so walks, whether they be around the block or to a near by park (dogs parks included!) are a must. I like to think of pets like people, in the sense that entertainment should come in all forms to keep from getting too bored. A game of fetch, some tug-o-war, a treat ball, even general training are all things to keep the mind and body moving.

Availability
I currently work in a hybrid remote setting, so checking in on your pet(s) morning, afternoon and/or night shouldn't be an issue except for maybe 1-2 days a week. My weekend availability is open, and I'm happy to be flexible in scheduling for whatever your pet may need.
