New Pet Professional Joins the Team

Sarah Murrell has been an animal lover her whole life. Growing up with dogs, and saving stray cats when she was younger, has grown into a professional passion. She recently moved to Connecticut from San Francisco, California where she worked as a professional dog walker.

Sarah has a B.S. degree in Environmental Science from Southern CT State University and a professional certificate in "Leadership in Sustainability and Environmental Management" from U.C. Berkeley. She is also a graduate of the dogTEC Dog Walking Academy and certified in Pet CPR and First Aid.

While working in San Francisco, Sarah managed dog playgroups with 6-8 dogs in an off-leash environment. She assessed dogs on their personalities, social skills and overall demeanor's in order to place them in a group that fits their needs. Sarah trained her groups to respond to specific commands to keep them safe and enjoying their playtime.  Sarah is excited to work with our dogs in CT.

Sarah has devoted time to stray animal shelters, volunteered for rescue organizations, and fostered rescues. Sarah and her fiance, Nick, adopted two rescues last year who have added a whole new dimension to their lives. Thelma and Louise are energetiic pug mixes who have truly distinct personalities.

Sarah is extremely excited to continue her dog walking/pet sitting career in CT and to make a whole bunch of new four-legged friends. 

Sarah will begin training with Mandy and working with Paws and Kisses clients at the end of August.  If you wish to meet her before she conducts a 'solo' pet sit for your fur family, please don't hesitate to give us a call at 203-922-2643 and we can arrange for her to stop by your home so you can meet her.
