Peace of Mind for your Pup and You!

Pet care experience

***I require a meet and greet before your dogs stay. It helps me get to know you and your dog and allow our dogs to meet prior to their stay** I have always had pets in my home from small animals to dogs. Dogs hold a special place in my heart so I started dog sitting in 2016. I just want dog owners to have peace of mind knowing your dog is cared for because I know how difficult it is to leave them. I am comfortable caring for your dog in my home or yours. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to meet the needs of any family. I have a dog, Penny loves meeting new friends and has a 'puppy' personality, she loves to play and can make friends with almost any dog. However, she does best with dogs that match her personality and sometimes has problems with other female dogs so that's why I require a meet and greet prior to a stay. I take her on walks/hikes and to the park almost everyday, so if your pup likes adventure they will fit right in! Your dog is an important part of your family and I will care for it like it was my own! I know how special they are in your life!

Sara was great! It's always nerve wracking leaving your pet when you leave, but she provided photos and videos while I was gone and my dog was clearly happy and well taken care of when I got him back! Highly recommend!

Sara loves dogs and was amazing with Scully! I was so nervous leaving Scully for the first time, but she warmed up to Sara quickly! She took Scully on walks and sent pictures to me! I'll definitely leave Scully with her in the future!

We were very happy on how well Sara took care of our dog. She gave him long walks and sent us frequent updates.

Sarà did a wonderful job caring for our little guy, Roger. She was responsive to all messages and requests. We plan to use her again soon.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I have a very secure fenced yard, we keep a lock on the gate, there are no large gaps in the fencing. The dogs will never be left unattended in our outside. When left home the dogs will not be left for more than 6 hours. I will always crate my dog and prefer a crate for dogs staying with us as well. The dogs will also be fed separately for safety. In your home, I can adjust for anything you/your dog need. I am a very much a homebody so I love just hanging out with the pups or taking them for walks.

Information Sara A. would like to know about your pet

It's important I know their feeding schedule, if they have any likes/dislikes (ex. doesn't like feet touched) Any time routines they may have, if they like/don't like other dogs. If there are any toys we should avoid.

A typical day

One of the first things I do with all dogs I'm caring for is take them for a walk. It gets out any anxiety they have of you leaving and allows them to relax. It also allows us to get to know eachother. My dog loves playin frisbee and ball so we typically do that twice a day and walk once a day. I also have some kongs and puzzle toys that the dogs love keeping busy with!
