Pet care experience

Trained dog walker and animal lover

My animal care background is substantial. Currently, I walk dogs and provide dog enrichment by working on behavior modification dogs at the Humane Society of Missouri. There I am certified in fear free shelter work. Prior to this, I took care of a variety of animals at an AZA accredited zoo. I also had my own personal dog for over 15 years. I am comfortable and skilled in dog walking, diet preparation, and being a canine companion.

Safety, trust & environment

I want to learn what works best for your pet to avoid any break in routine or causing unnecessary stress. I am happy to discuss my animal care background. I ask all pets provide proof of proper vaccinations and flea prevention to ensure the safety of all pets and myself. I am certified in fear free shelter care. I will treat your pet like my own. I will not take any aggressive animals or animals with a bite history.

Sarah has volunteered to walk dogs at the shelter for several years. She is dependable, knowledgeable, and compassionate. She reads dogs body language and reacts appropriately. I am very grateful for the work she has done with the shelter dogs.

Sarah has been a volunteer with the Humane Society for several years. During this time, she has worked with our kennel enrichment program. In this program volunteers go into a kennel with a dog and give them one on one time. They teach sit, down, being petted, etc. Sarah also walks some of our dogs. To do these thiings, she first received training which she picked up easily.

I have observed Sarah as a trainer and team leader for volunteers for Kennel Enrichment at a large animal shelter. Sarah approaches dogs with gentle calm. She genuinely cares for them, seeking ways to make them comfortable while reinforcing expected behavior. She enjoys their presence and personalities while managing their responses. She is a great observer of indicators that signal positive or negative reactions to events and stimuli and responds appropriately. No matter the size, energy level, or characteristic responses of the dog, Sarah is equipped for productive interactions, providing safe, loving care. She is also a great team member and a kind, friendly, responsible, and respectful person to work with.

Sarah is extremely trustworthy and caring. She has been volunteering as a dogwalker and in kennel enrichment for a couple of years and has shown nothing but dependability and a heartwarming adoration for our pups in the shelter. She has very good communication skills, both with humans and animals.

Schedule

Contact me and I’d love to fit your pet into my day. I treat them like my own and can set up a schedule so they are properly cared for. I am currently available for three walks a day. If you need more, please feel free to discuss. My max walk or visit vision is a morning, mid day, and evening. If your furry friend needs only one walk or break a day, let me know and we can make it work! Happy to see what works for the safety and care of your pet.

Let me know if your pet has special behaviors. I am unable to watch aggressive pets. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and backgrounds. I am particularly fond of the shy and fearful, playful puppies, high energy dogs, and seniors pets who like it quiet and just need a companion.
