“This is second time Ive used Sarah. An absolute pleasure to work with. This call was a last minute emergency and she was so happy she could help. My Zoe is 15 and is a little slower and double coated so I like to walk her in shade. Little special rituals Zoe and me do together she was kind to accommodate. Zoe loves her and waits on front bed for her. Its difficult to leave Zoe for trips away from her And now I have peace of mind knowing how gentle and generous Sarah is with Zoe when I have to be away. Sarah is a gem.”

About: I’ve been a dog walker and started a neighborhood business at the age of 10 and I have worked in animal animal hospital for 3 years and an animal shelter as well as a doggie day care :) I have my own family dog that I take care of and I have the availability to be available whenever. I also like to make sure I am scheduling everything that I need to do prior. While caring for my dog at home, I make sure to know when he needs to go to the bathroom. I make sure he’s fed. If I am in someone else’s home I make sure I allow the pets to feel safe and reward good behavior. I make sure he gets his medicine and we play, sleep, and cuddle.

About: My name is Traci and I spent 22 years serving my country. I am now retired and spend all my time with my fur kids. I have been a volunteer with a local Lab Rescue in Denver, where I did adoptions, transports and I fostered dogs of all ages in my own home. I also have a small zoo of my own...(dogs, cats, fish) My family calls me the dog whisperer. I have always had a connection with animals and would love to continue giving back. I will come to your home and take care of your kids and house as if you were there. As a foster, I was responsible for training the dogs that were in my care before they go to their forever home. Recently, I have been training my own Lab as a Service Dog, that will be used for veterans that experience anxiety/panic attacks and even PTSD. Why I love dog sitting: I have been a dog lover my entire life. My parents got me a dog when I was 6 months old and his name was Pepper. I have always had dogs with me. I started volunteering with a local lab rescue because I felt like I could always do more for the animals. Fostering dogs in my own home, training them, showing them love them (some of them have never had that) and then I help get them adopted out to a family who will love them just the same. It was a rewarding hobby. Meet my pets: 3 cats 4 Dogs My experience administering medication: I am very comfortable with medications and administering them. I was a combat medic in the Navy, and I am currently a Wilderness EMT with over 20 years in the medical field. I am trained and certified in K-9 First Aid and CPR. Most recently I worked at a dog rescue in Puerto Penasco, Mexico (Barb's Dog Rescue). Working at a dog rescue, you see the worst cases of abuse and neglect. I was trained how to administer medications, IV's, Sub-Q fluids and give LOTS of love. Your fur kids are in good hands.

Traci has two titles in our family- "Dog Whisperer" and "Dr Doolittle". She truly loves animals and will always put them first.
