Work-from-home sitter

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Sarah and I am a full-time playwright/screenwriter. Since I work from home, you dog(s) will have plenty of company! I've owned dogs my entire life (a Rottweiler named "Ica," a Golden Retriever named "Shana," and a Great Pyrenees named "Bear"), and feel comfortable and confident with all breeds and ages. I am able to administer medication, and have worked with pets who experience high-levels of anxiety. Last year I moved out of the city and bought my first house in the Pocono Mountains. Although I often commute to New York, I am only able to watch pets in an owner's home at this time. I am happy to provide references upon request. Overall: I am a responsible, reliable person, one who will care for, play with, and pay attention to your pet as though s/he is my own. Please feel free to ask me anything!

After a past experience with a less than stellar dog sitter, we were very concerned about leaving Tikka, our 15 year old Malti-poo for 12 days but in Sarah's care, she was absolutely fine! From the first meet and greet when Tikka, who is normally a bit aloof in the beginning, climbed onto the couch with Sarah I felt that she would be in good hands. Throughout our trip (starting before our plane even took off) Sarah emailed with updates and photos letting us know how our pup was doing. Quite a few of our neighbors, in our building and neighborhood, made a point of telling me that they had met Sarah, how much they liked her and that it was clear that Tikka was in good hands. The real proof of what good care Sarah took of Tikka was when we arrived home to find Tikka fast asleep on the couch, close to where Sarah was sitting. While happy to see us, Tikka was not frenetic or upset, as she sometimes gets when left alone even for just a few hours. We hung out and chatted with Sarah before she departed and Tikka happily climbed onto the back of the couch behind Sarahto rest. Clearly she both liked and trusted Sarah! We are thrilled that we found someone that both we and more importantly our dog, like and trust, for future dog sitting. We wholeheartedly recommend Sarah!

Information Sarah S. would like to know about your pet

I am happy to sit any and all dogs. My two requirements are: 1) that your dog is house trained, and 2) that s/he isn't a barker (of course the occasional yip is fine, but I can't watch dogs that continually howl).

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Central Park is one block away, and Riverside Park is three blocks away. There are plenty of dog parks in both if the dog(s) require(s) playtime with other animals. Your dog's sleeping arrangement In the living room, one floor upstairs from my bedroom. S/he can sleep on the floor or couch. If the dog has a hard time sleeping alone, I'm very happy to join him/her on the couch for the night. Time I'll spend with your dog All day.
