I work from home part of the week and I am home during the weekends so I’m happy to spend lots of quality time with your furry friend! I also have neighbors who work from home so if there’s ever anything needed when I am at the office, there will always be help available.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, depending on what you do at your home, I am happy to have the dog in a crate or free range. I also have a large patio so we can enjoy some sunshine time together as well. My complex does have a dog park and we live next to a walking trail so outside time will not be an issue however if your dog loves just snuggling and staying indoors. I am fine with that vibe as well.

Information Sallie W. would like to know about your pet

Major concern are going to know about your pets comfort level with other dogs, people and any other cautions. My neighborhood is very walkable and there are always lots of dogs so I want to be prepared for what makes your pup comfortable.

A typical day

First things first, we rise and shine and walk! Then breakfast and enjoy some patio time if it’s warm enough! Depending on the dog, I’m open for more time outside, taking field trips to hike or the park to play or just settling in and having a relaxing time on the couch!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a former vet tech who loves caring for dogs of all kinds. Since I work from home most of the week, I have lots of flexibility for long walks, quick potty breaks, dog-park fetch sessions, or trips around town. I’m currently without my own dog, so I can’t wait to enjoy some quality companionship with yours! Especially love the big, older dogs but I’m also happy to help with younger pups!

This was the first time we boarded one of our dogs. Sallie was pleasant and very easy to work with. We felt comfortable, leaving our precious boy in her care. Communication was consistent and she was thoughtful with her questions prior to the boarding. Easy recommendation. Thank you again, Sallie.

Sallie was amazing! Penny was very happy staying with her. She got lots of walking and play time and snuggles at night. Sallie was very responsive and flexible and sent lots of photos and videos. We definitely will plan on future stays with her!
