Pet care experience
Dog lover with fenced-in yard!
I've been around dogs all my life and rescued my first dog as soon as I graduated college. I finally saved up enough to buy a home so my dog could finally have the fenced-in yard of his dreams! I'm also taking a sabbatical from tech because I'm burnt out so not only will your dog have a big beautiful fenced-in yard to play in, they'll also have a full-time sitter as well! I run errands throughout the day, but I always make sure my dogs are tired and happy regardless of what I have going on. I have 10+ years experience raising and loving these precious creatures so you can trust your baby is in good hands.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Sally has been watching my golden retriever, Bunny, for the past two years and I have never felt more comfortable leaving her with anyone. I know that when Bunny is with Sally, she is safe and treated like part of the family. Bunny can be a little quirky, somehow both incredibly needy and shy at the same time, but Sally understands her personality perfectly and has become one of Bunny’s favorite people in the world. She always has the best time staying with Sally and her best friend, Remy, and genuinely seems sad to leave them and the big backyard when it’s time to come home. Sally is also incredibly attentive to the little things that make a huge difference. She is careful about Bunny’s diet, makes sure she isn’t sneaking food from other dogs’ bowls and even makes sure she always has water somewhere she feels comfortable drinking. That level of thoughtfulness gives me complete peace of mind whenever I’m away. It’s obvious how much Sally genuinely loves and understands dogs and I trust her completely with Bunny. I couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and attentive pet sitter.

Schedule
I'm currently on sabbatical from corporate life so I'm actually very flexible and available for your pets. In addition to having a fenced-in yard, I will also take my dog out at least twice a day for a walk around my quiet neighborhood. I eat my breakfast and lunch in the yard and my dog usually accompanies me so we spend a lot of time outside ^_^. On the weekends, I usually have plans throughout the day, but I always ensure the dogs are tired and happy regardless of what I have going on. I very rarely leave my dog for more than 5 hours at a time, but I can easily accommodate your dog's needs as long as I have sufficient notice. I'm a homebody so I'm usually home regardless of whether it's a weekday or weekend. Being unemployed affords me lots of time to spend with our four legged friends and I'm not complaining lol.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced-in yard with lots of grass and a 3 yr. old brown Labrador mix that loves hanging with other dogs. He also doesn't mind just letting dogs do their own thing. He's very adaptable to the other dog's energy level. He's just kinda chill. Note: Only the brown lab lives with me. The field golden on my profile (Bunny) is my best friend's dog who doesn't live with me. Remy (3 yr. old brown lab) is the only dog that lives with me.

A typical day
I wake up around 8AM and have breakfast in the yard with Remy. We then go for a morning walk around the neighborhood. I address some emails, do my morning workout and run some errands around the city. I come back and read in the yard until the temperature allows us to go for our second walk of the day. I come home, make dinner and watch TV/read till I go to sleep.

- Since I am just a girl, please let me know if your (bigger) dog pulls heavily on the leash and we can prioritize more exercise in the yard. I keep my home very clean so I really appreciate if your pup comes bathed and/or brushed. It allows me to spend more time with the dogs and cuddle them more :) I know we live busy lives so no worries if you can't. It's just a minor preference.
