"The Dog Mom Expert"!

With over 20 years of caring for pets, my friends and family jokingly refer to me as "the dog mom expert"! And unless they’re all lying to me, I don't think they are too far off. Ha! 😆 You can usually find me covered in dog hair most days, posting about my many dog adventures on social media. I have plenty of experience in caring for puppies to senior pets with extensive medical needs as I’ve owned a few myself! ***I have a huge soft spot for senior doggos❤️ *** I am a volunteer foster for a local dog rescue and part of the transport team. I also regularly dog sit for several of my neighbors and love every minute of it! Is your pupper a “velcro dog”? That’s ok! I work from home only and on a part time basis. So your pet will have lot's of love from me daily! If I do leave the house, it is never for more than 4 hours at a time. For daycare and boarding, I have a medium size fenced in yard and never leave pets outside unattended. I make sure they do their business and play a little if they want. I have a doggy gate inside separating 2 areas of my house, allowing for dogs to have some space from each other when needed. I also have 2 crates and familiar with crate training and potty training schedules. I do not have stairs, so dogs with mobility issues don't have to worry about that. I aways feed pets in my home separately to ensure safety during feeding times. And in the event I do leave my house, dogs will be separated from each other with a doggy gate or crated as well. For walks and drop ins, I love walking dogs and allowing them to get some exercise and go on sniff adventures. For dogs that don’t go on long walks, we will spend our time playing, cuddling, and treats of course! I love to take lots of pics and videos and share them with my clients daily. I know how just having a quick update can help so much with peace of mind!

Sara is amazing! She took such great care of our senior pup, Nala, especially over the 4th of July when fireworks can be stressful. She made sure Nala was comfortable and happy, and sent photo and text updates throughout her stay. Sara was so attentive and thoughtful — I felt completely confident that Nala was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

For boarding and day care clients, I have a large separate area of my house that is just dedicated to the dogs. I have crates, plenty of plush toys, and enrichment toys as well! When entering someone else’s home, I try to be respectful as possible. And aware of any messes I may have made while playing with your dog. I do not mind cameras in the home, as I have a few myself!

Pets

A typical day

I love to take dogs on "sniffaris" and let them sniff on walks until their heart is content! We also walk a few blocks in my neighborhood, taking a different route each time. I have plenty of enrichment toys....snuffle mats, kongs, etc. We can play fetch in the backyard. And on hot days, I pull out the kiddie pool and let the dogs splash around for a while.

Please let me know if your dog has any behavioral issues such as resource guarding, marking, eating things they are not supposed to, etc. Or any health issues that sometimes come and go that I may need to keep an eye out for.
