“Donna rescued her bassett hound Lucy eight years ago. She and Lucy shared the best life - long walks with lots of sniffs, loving belly rubs and naps on the couch. Donna gave Lucy the best care, from a young pup to a senior dog. Donna is a true dog lover, and now that Lucy lives on in her heart, you can be sure your dog will be in patient, kind and good hands during their stay.”

9. Sarah E.
About: Animal lover without one of my own right now! I have grown up with animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, and bunnies. I live an active lifestyle and am looking to get out of my home office more. I work from home and have a flexible schedule throughout the day to help you out! Typically I am free before 9:30, between 12:30-1:30, and after 5. I tend to stick around town on the weekends and am flexible. I will treat your pet like it was my own. I am a very responsible caretaker and will follow whatever instructions you give. I am comfortable with many personalities of animals.

My dog absolutely adored her, and it was clear that she showered her with love and care throughout their time together. Her place is super dog-friendly, with plenty of space and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. What really stood out to me was her excellent communication—she kept me updated regularly, so I was able to relax and enjoy my time away, knowing my dog was in great hands. I would trust her with my dog any time!”
