Pet care experience
Hey y'all. I grew up with an overgrown Labrador, and have been the sole caretaker of my hound-mix-mutt, Merlin, for two+ years. My boyfriend's puppy Ruby is here too, and the pair make for great playmates. We'd love to keep your pup company while you're away. We have a large fenced-in backyard and, while we're home, the dogs have full access via a doggy door. We love to take walks to the river and visit the dog park. Merlin was crate trained for his first year or so, and he now roams free in my house. Ruby still uses a crate. I have many options for blocking off the house and am comfortable using a crate, or letting your dog have some access to the house while I'm away depending on his or her level of independence. I work 8-5 weekdays nearby, but visit the dogs during lunch. Please no small dogs that may be able to fit between posts and no escape artists. I'm flexible and open to accommodating a variety of needs, but also reserve the right to refuse a booking if we're not a good fit. We are also hesitant to take a dog for a whole week before trying a few nights. Please try to request and one or two night stay with us before asking for a whole week. We want to ensure that we are the best fit for each other.

Sarah was wonderful! I loved the pics and updates each day and our dog had a blast playing with her pups! I'll definitely be giving her a call next time we go out of town!
Sarah kept our pup for a week and was great! Lots of pictures / updates and the backyard is awesome - made us feel safe leaving him!
Sarah was awesome! This was the first time we had to leave our dog Brody overnight with someone. She met us ahead of time at the dog park with Merlin, her dog , to be sure they got along OK . She texted me two photos and a video while she had him , showing me what a great time he was having . I will definitely call her the next time I have a need !
