About Sage S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
At my house, boarding dogs are never left outside unsupervised. Boarders (and their belongings) are also never left alone with my own dogs. All pets are only fed their own food/treats and are never given human food. Boarders sleep on their own beds in a guest room unless a crate is provided. I encourage bringing beds, toys and other comfort items to make boarders feel more at home.

Information Sage S. would like to know about your pet
"Besides general feeding/potty routines, owners should inform me of all special needs. All medications and necessary supplies (such as insulin syringes) must be provided and listed in the chat. Owners must be able to prove that pets are up to date on all vaccinations. Boarders' regular food must be provided to avoid GI upsets. Owners are expected to inform me ahead of time if their pet has any negative bahaviors I should be aware of (i.e. "will bolt out the door", "is food aggressive", etc.) Safety requests from owners are strictly adhered to. I also have my own protocols, such as not taking dogs outside without a leash or fence. Some pets may be too anxious away from home or aggressive towards other animals and would do better visited at their own home. I have no breed preferences and base my judgements on the temperment and needs of each pet. I typically only board one family's pets at a time, so boarders are never crowded or neglected. Questions regarding my practices should be addressed in the chat before booking confirmation."
A typical day
"During drop-in visits, I like to give dogs as much outdoor exercise as possible. Indoors, I love giving plenty of attention and cuddles - even to cats if they allow it! Accidents happen, so I have no problem cleaning up after pets and always appreciate cleaning supplies left somewhere easy to find. At my house, boarding dogs may get to play in a large fenced-in yard or go for walks down long forest trails. During the summer they may even get to play in a kitty pool or sprinkler! Inside, I have plenty of toys and two friendly dogs who can be playmates or be kept entirely separate if necessary."

Vet Tech & Animal Lover!
Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Sage! As a former veterinary technician, I have worked professionally with animals in both routine and emergency situations, with additional experience as a wildlife sanctuary volunteer and as an owner of many species over the years. [Services for exotic/farm animals offered privately.] At home, my husband and I have 2 dogs and 80 acres of land to explore. I can't wait to meet you and your fur babies!
Reviews
Sage took great care of my dog. She was very easy to communicate with and made it clear that his comfort and safety was her top priority. She sent regular updates through the stay and was flexible with pickup and drop off. Will definitely book again!
Excellent sitter with such valuable experience with animals. Will rebook with her anytime she’s available.
Sage did and excellent job as always. Please consider using her .
I was nervous to leave my cats with someone for the first time , but Sage did an amazing job! My kitties absolutely love her!
