Animal Lover, Teacher, and Mom of 3

Pet care experience

I AM BACK!!! - For the past year and a half, I have had the blessing of caring for the 2 sweetest senior dogs. Changes in circumstances have allowed them to not require long term care any longer, so I am now available back in full force! I’ve been around pets my whole life. I am the unofficial dog sitter for all my family and friends. I have 3 teenagers, 1 dog and 1 cat in our pet friendly home. My kids love animals as well. My oldest daughter is planning on becoming a large animal vet as she has been in FFA for the past 7 years. I have been a teacher for the past 26 years. There is almost always someone home during the summer, so your pet would rarely be alone.

Sarah and her family are very loving people they took excellent care of my two Boston terriers. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter and would use her again should the time arise!!

This was Phoenix’s first sitter and Sara and her family were truly amazing. She kept us updated with wonderful pictures of her dog and my dog playing , and sleeping. Will definitely book again even for just days where I just need an Aussie break lol ?.

I booked Sara very last minute. She was gracious enough to help me out, however, because of scheduling differences I never actually met her. She assured me there would always be a family member home. I found that to be true. I got several pictures which is always comforting. She did tell me that my dog didn’t want his food but was happy to gobble down hers. She also said they had randomly bathed my dog “since hers was being bathed too.” I found that odd but no harm done. I would book Sara again. I would make sure I had the opportunity to meet with her the next time.

A typical day

Between myself and my kids there is almost always someone home. My kids love to play and run around with the dogs and they alway get lots of cuddle time and attention. Our house is dog friendly where they are allowed on couches and beds. We do crate ours if we have to leave during the day, but she sleeps on the bed at night. Evening time we like to go out for a walk around the neighborhood.

I am an high school teacher so I am currently on summer break. I have my own dog, Ellie, that is on her schedule, so I have no problem adapting to a dog’s schedule. In addition, we have a doggie door that accommodates most dogs for the in between times.
