Sarah

I'm an American graduate student (studying botany at Kew Gardens) in London (missing my pup who's back home with my parents), and I'd love to take care of your pet!

I'm in my late 20s and I have had dogs (and cats, horses, bunnies, fish, birds, etc.) in my life from the beginning. My first job was as a pet sitter and a dog walker for my neighbors, and I haven't stopped since then.

I have experience with all different sizes and temperaments of dogs (My dog is smaller, but I grew up with golden retrievers, and I used to volunteer with a greyhound rescue group). Since I sit in lectures most days, I'd be happy to take your dog for a energetic walk outside (I'll be just as anxious to get some exercise as your pet!).

I live just off the river in Chiswick, and it is a quiet and safe area with a number of nearby parks for a nice long walk with your pet. I'm available to care for your pet at your home, but unfortunately, as I live in a tiny flat with less animal-loving roomates, I am unavailable to provide care at my home.

My professional background is in wildlife ecology, so I am very comfortable with any kind of "exotic" pet, and I grew up riding horses, so I'm quite comfortable around nearly any kind of animal. As I'm usually the one taking the photos, there are very few photos (I now realize) of me with the animals I take care of. I've put a couple photos of my dog, Teeny, who's currently being spoiled rotten by my parents back home while I'm here, as well as some photos of me handling wildlife (a bird and some young alligators). Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. I look forward to meeting your furry loved one!
