My name is Sarah and I am a Groomer, Dog Obedience Trainer, Pet sitter and all around animal lover. I have mainly worked with dogs and felines throughout my career.  I initially worked with small animals, from rodents and lizards to birds. I have even taken care of horses when I took horse back riding as a kid. I'm lucky to have worked with animals of all sizes since a young age. I greatly enjoy bonding and creating positive, safe environments for pets.  Animals are my life, I have 2 dogs and 4 cats of my own. I have personally owned rats, mice, ferrets, birds, and various fish!

 

I try to incorporate health and overall well-being into my care of pets and treat every dog or cat with their individual needs in mind. I use mainly positive methods with redirection and exercise of the mind and body. I have been lucky enough in life to have had numerous mentors for various pet related aspects of care. Between my school mentors, volunteering with rescues and working since I was old enough to get a job in the animal industry; I have had a set goal to continue to work with animals and be the best care taker I can for them.

 

I never knew exactly what I wanted to do. As a kid, some people didn't really think of pet care as being a career outside of a vet. So when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I could only ever say, "anything with animals!" I certainly got some looks! I'm glad I stuck to my heart and never let it stop me in my need for knowledge and search for the right path. I hope to continue my education and my opportunities to work with pets and their owners.

 

I currently have completed certificates through Animal Behavior College in Vet assistance, Obedience Training, and lastly with Honors, a Grooming certification. I have completed programs aimed toward Private dog training, Pet Sitting and Dog walking, working with shelter dogs, and Pet CPR & First Aid to try provide you with the best care possible. I am beyond happy to have found such a great area to work in the Sunshine state! My main goal with continuing my business is pushing myself to keep learning, and passing along that knowledge.

​

Reiki Certification has brought an aspect of care I wasn't consciously aware of.  I have always felt the energy that brings joy into my life with animals and Reiki and its energy has solidified my path to helping those that need it.  I am loving the incorporation with care and calming that is necessary with most clients needing these home based services.

 

I look forward to building relationships with pets and their owners. Working together with other Sitters in the area I feel a peace of mind, having other people to refer clients to of strong work ethic and responsibility, if for some reason I am unavailable.
