Snuggles and Hugs 4 your fur baby!

Pet care experience

About Me: Hello! My name is Sally, and I'm a passionate dog lover with a deep understanding of canine behavior and needs. As a dedicated dog sitter, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of every furry friend under my care. With years of experience and a genuine love for animals, I provide a safe, nurturing environment where dogs can thrive while their owners are away. Experience: I have been caring for dogs for 40 years, gaining valuable experience in handling a variety of breeds and temperaments. Whether it's a playful puppy or a senior dog needing extra attention, I adapt my approach to suit their individual needs and preferences. Services Offered: • Dog Boarding: A home away from home for your furry companion, where they'll receive personalized care and plenty of love and attention. • Dog Walking: Regular walks to keep your pup happy, healthy, and well-exercised. • Drop-in Visits: Quick check-ins and playtime sessions for dogs who prefer to stay in their own environment. • Overnight Stays: Overnight care for dogs who need extra companionship and supervision. Special Skills: • Training: Basic obedience training and reinforcement of good behavior using positive reinforcement techniques. • Medication Administration: Experience in administering oral medications and injections while following specific medical instructions. • First Aid: Trained in basic first aid for dogs, ensuring their safety and well-being in case of emergencies. • Socialization: Creating a positive and enriching environment for dogs to socialize with other friendly pups, if appropriate. Home Environment: My home is a dog-friendly space with ample room for play and relaxation. I have a secure backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor activities, and indoor areas where they can rest comfortably. Your dog will be treated as a beloved member of the family during their stay, receiving plenty of attention, cuddles, and playtime. I am a dog lover, and have always had animals. I have bred Terriers in the past as well and well versed on basic first aid. I am very patient and take time with animals. Book with me, and you'll see... there is no better sitter/walker than me! Thank you for considering me for your needs.

Sally is one of the best people I know with pets. I wouldn't trust anyone but her to watch my dog. she is very kind and attentive with them she is extremely patient (my dog has very high anxiety) and she understands what it's like to be a pet owner and want the best for your animals. I would recommend her to my friends and family anytime

Sally loves her dogs and takes very good care of them. She likes to play with them and take them for walks. She always tells me stories about what they are doing. I think she would be a very good pet caregiver.

Sally is possibly one of the best people and dog-moms you will ever meet. She has been an animal lover for as long as I have known her - 34 years this year! Not only does she put the needs of her animals (and her friend's animals) over her own, she treats any animal in her care like it is her own child. She is kind, loving, trustworthy, punctual, and reliable in every way. In the time that I have known her she has taught me a lot about animal care, improving quality of life for senior dogs and demonstrated life-long love of her animals from the day she gets them to their last days. There is no one I would rather have caring for my animals than Sally when Im not able to. If you want your animals doted on, spoiled (within reason), treated like family and straight up adored no matter what kind of animal, she is the one you want to hire.

Sally is a great dog owner. Her dogs are always well groomed, which she does herself. Her dogs are always well behaved and they didn't spend a minute in any dog classes. She's trained them herself to be very well mannered and well socialized. She's the only person I trust to care for my dogs. Because I know she cares for and loves them as if they are her own. She is patient and kind to all animals and has a real and true love for them.
