Dog lover

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and have always loved their company. In 2007, I adopted my very own puppy (a shih Tzu) who was soon followed by a boxer puppy - both were under 6 months old. I'm a huge fun of "The Dog Whisperer" and have used his methods to train, care and enjoy my dogs. Both our dogs always loved having visitors and we've always had a rotating door (many who stayed overnight). I'm down to 1 dog - a new Shih Tzu who would very much love to host friends over. I have experience with all sizes and demeanor of dog.

Sara and Zach were phenomenal. During the meet and greet it was obvious they have a loving home with their dog so I was comfortable booking with them. Sara was so communicative during my dogs stay she sent pics and videos of both of them throughout the day and it was very sweet. My older dog is 10 and she gets very anxious and I could tell she was right at home which made it much easier for me to go about my day without worry. They loved their stay and even had a new buddy in their dog Pearl. I always watch for signs of distress after any pick ups with my dogs and these girls were just as happy and relaxed as when I dropped them off. Thank you for taking such good care of my girls for me.

We could not be more pleased with Sarah’s care for our dog. She hand fed him when needed. He was rested and relaxed when we picked him up after two weeks width Sarah. We will leave our pup with her again!
