Dog Lover with 14 Years Experience

Pet care experience

I grew up with animals of all types - cats, lizards, an orphaned chicken who thought she was a dog - but it was the dogs who really stole my heart. I've lived with dogs of all sizes, from a huge Rottweiler with a heart of gold to a tiny Sheltie who protected my brother and I like we were his own. Growing up, I was always sitting and walking the neighborhood dogs. When I moved away from home (and had to leave my beloved family German shepherd), I started dog sitting more regularly and have been doing it ever since. A true dog lover through and through, I'd love to get to know and love your pup, too! If you're looking for a different service than what is listed here on my profile, such as a quick 5 minute visit to let your dog out to pee or to drop off your pup at daycare, please shoot me a message. I'd love to work with you to set up a plan that works for you and your dog!

Sara, as always, was fantastic. My dog loves her and I know I appreciate her keeping my dog's routine while I'm out of town! Sara is always so thoughtful.

We love having Sara take care of our little golden retriever puppy! She understands puppies and their needs. I was impressed with little things she does that make a difference like making sure he pottys one last time right before kenneling him again. She even takes him for longer walks then scheduled! We are thankful for these little things!

Sara is a great dog walker!!! Our dog Moose was immediately fond of her and he's a pretty good judge of character. She tracks all his walks with the Rover app, takes photos of him during the walk, then gives us a summary of what happened. She even makes sure he has plenty of water and treats before she leaves. She gives me and my husband so much peace of mind while we are at work knowing Moose is in excellent hands.

I think it's important to meet a dog in the presence of the owner before the official job date. All dogs have quirks, and knowing how to handles those is very important.

I'll work with you and your dog to do whatever your dog loves best, whether that's extra long walks in the park or cuddle time on the couch (or both!).
