“After just one walk, my dog remembered Sarah and was over the moon excited when he saw her. She’s attentive to instructions and Loki comes back tired. Would definitely hire her again. :)”

About: I’ve cared for family and friend’s pets for over 20 years. I’ve been a foster mom and I have 5 dogs of all sizes and ages. I am currently working part time so I am able to spend plenty of time playing and walking with your fur baby as needed during the week and sometimes on weekends. Currently, I am looking for opportunities to play and walk with your fur baby. As I do not have a fenced yard to board them at this time.
About: I've had animals in my house all my life and they are really important to me and my wellbeing. They're more than just household pets and I love learning about what makes them happy and what their individual needs are. I have experience as a pet care provider, caregiver, nanny and yoga instructor, and volunteer at the humane society. Trying my best to show deep care to all beings is what I feel most empowered to do in this world. It means a lot to me to be a calming presence in the spaces I'm in. Clear and direct communication and details are important to me. I always strive to make sure to include these things when working with clients, and appreciate the same in return. Being self employed means I have flexibility in my schedule. Movement and connection are incredibly important to me and walking, playing and moving daily is something I strive for especially with animals. I am available for drop ins and walks too! I will be caring for your pet in your home. I always leave a place extra clean and tidy, and ensure to clean up after myself and the pet. My goal is to be respectful of your space.

I have my own 10-year old pup and my family has 3 more dogs at home. I got on here because I could use more puppy love in my life and have a genuine love for animals. I am also am a traveler and know how difficult it is to find a reliable and safe person to watch my pup, so I’d love to be that resource for others. I also have experience with cats, rats, fish, chickens, and horses.
