Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter and walker that just can’t get enough puppy love! I have trained 4 service dogs in training so I love teaching dogs tricks in addition to walking and playing with them. I’ve worked in vet clinics in the past, so I know just how to keep your dog safe and healthy. I promise to love your fur baby just as much as you do and help to keep them happy while you are gone.

“Happy to walk your best friend!”
Hi! My name is Sarah. I grew up with several large dogs (German Shepherds) and was always comfortable with them. I currently have a working breed dog who is very protective and a smaller mutt who frequently pulls because he loves to sniff. I am able to keep both dogs on the trail/sidewalk, know when to keep a short leash and know when to keep my distance. I have a fanny pack with pockets for bags, a spot for a water bottle, and two D-rings to clip leashes to.
