Information Sahara & Santo R. would like to know about your pet

Just let me know your dogs daily routine and I'll try to stick to that as much as possible. This may include what time and amount of food they eat. If they prefer to be kenneled or sleep next to us night, what ever you believe I need to know to keep them happy.

A typical day

We take several walks throughout the day. Some time we have two little visitors ( my niece and nephew) who love giving all the pets attention and treats.

Pet care experience

A little about me, my name is Sahara. My husband and I live in a townhouse near several walking trails and nature parks. We have two pups, a Cavachon and an Olde English Bulldogge. I have had dogs in my home my whole life, all sizes and breeds. We have a small backyard but have a large enclosed area for pups to run and play in our apartment complex. I also am a big fan of dog socializing, so we try to take daily trips to the San Marcos dog park. Although, I do not offer grooming, I do offer a bathing service. Experience with dogs with seizures and diabetes. You and your dog wouldn't just be a client, you'd be part of the family. I'm a stay at home dog mom- so I'll have plenty of time to devote to my pups and your pets. If I'm not home, my hubby is- so noones home alone. I have a small fenced in backyard but a larged fenced in pool area that my complex allows to use as a dog park for those who need alittle more room. And when it's time to chill you pet can find a spot on any of the couches or dog beds around the house.

Sahara did a great job looking after our house and plants when we were gone. Everything seemed to be thriving! She even found our cats missing collar! Looking forward to booking again

Sahara took very good care of my kitties. She kept to the schedule & was very communicative. Loved the pics & updates each day. Thanks for being so responsive to any questions or concerns I had & for caring for my fur babies 😻

Sahara is very communicative and we know our pup is in good hands with her family. We have used them a few times now and will continue to let our pup stay with this family!
