Whether your pup needs exercise, company, or just a loving presence while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. Animals are my passion, and your pet’s comfort and safety always come first! I’m currently a flight attendant but I usually only do day trips so I’m always available after or before work. I know my schedule a head of time so that will never be an issue. I’ve grown up always having dogs and cats but since moving out I don’t have any. So I currently don’t have any animals as of now.

About: I am currently booking for 4th of July, & Labor Day. Plan ahead! I can’t do boarding I can be available for house sitting but it also depends on travel, because if I can’t get enough to travel and stay because I have dogs of my own, I would need to leave momentarily keep that in mind. I don’t mind staying but dogs need to come with and I have 3 1 of which is a dog aggressive dog, so I have to keep her separate from other dogs that are new to her. But all my other dogs are fine drop ins please be specific I am charging $15 for a meet and greet fee I will explain later, but I’m most willing to do any breed, just ask no aggressive dogs (with people) and if you back out during the stay or drop in I will charge an extra $100-200 depending on how many animals if you have more than a few animals expect it to be a little pricey. I love dogs and provide the best quality of care like they are my own. But I just want to cover all the basis before you book I am currently working as a part time rover sitter. So I may or may not have available times as of now I’ve just selected available so people can message me I take care of dogs like they are my own, I love them like they are mine, if I want my own dogs fed, let out etc, but I don’t expect someone to be there right at the time, and understand they have lives too. I give them lots of love and love cuddling with dogs and playing fetch, or something with them, I do the necessities potty if needed every 4-8 hours depends on the age of the dog too and the service

“Sarah watched over 3 of my animals while I was on a vacation. Sarah was diligent in making sure all 3 dogs got PLENTY of exercise, as well as played with them and wore them out.

Sarah communicated with me in a clear and concise manner with what she was going to be doing with the dogs every day, and gave us frequent updates. We also learned that Sarah has extensive experience as a Vet Tech, which gave us a peace of mind that she really knows how to handle our furry friends.”
