I HEAL HOMESICKNESS WITH AFFECTION

Pet care experience

It would be my pleasure to have your dog stay with me for short or extended periods. Why am I a good choice? I take this job very seriously and safety is my first priority. My home is warm, inviting, clean and organized. I have many repeat "stays" and have become friends with several pet owners. Soothing your dog's separation anxiety is important... attention, play time, walks and lots of love work best. I have lived in Dallas since graduating from TCU. I was a professional journalist for many years of of my life, which included sixteen years as society editor for Turtle Creek News. i have also written scores of feature articles, authored a book entitled "100 Things to do in Dallas and Fort Worth", and penned numerous columns about society events and charities. I recently retired from my Katy Trail Weekly News, therefore, I have plenty of time to care for my four-legged guests. I look forward to turning your first booking into me becoming your “go-to-sitter". It is such a pleasure to watch the joyful reunions of owners and their beloved dogs. It never gets old. I d do not miss my previous careers, due to the immense enjoyment I receive from the adorable pets I care for. P.S. I am right on the way to the way to DFW for many dog parents.

I had the most wonderful experience with Sally as my dog’s sitter. It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter and my dog is quite shy and anxious that I was very nervous to be away for a couple weeks but Sally cared for Haru with so much love and affection that I was at ease the whole trip. She also sent lots of updates and pictures and I am so so grateful to her for making my dog feel so safe and happy while I was away. I will definitely be requesting her to care for Haru.

I had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter, Sally. She was reliable, kind, and incredibly diligent—you can genuinely tell she loves dogs. My older dog seemed very happy in her care, and she was thoughtful about his age-related needs, which gave me so much peace of mind. I felt completely comfortable leaving him with her, knowing he was in good, gentle hands. Highly recommend!

Sally took in my dog in on short notice and he was well taken care of for the long weekend. She has a fenced in yard so he could run around and be outside often.
