Pet care experience

Welcome to Playtime Paradise Resort where dogs come to vacation!!! Newly retired I have the time to pamper your pup! My home offers plenty of room indoors plus a large fenced back yard--perfect for play time & relaxing. I am a dog loving person who will take the time to make your dog(s) feel extra special. I specialize in personalized attention to your four legged best friend. My playful yet friendly dogs will show your dog a great time in a relaxed and safe atmosphere. I look forward to taking good care of your family member like one of my own. According to your preference, I will always keep you up to date with photos,emails and/or texts during your dog's stay. I understand your desire to know that all is well and that your dog is having a great time! I prefer to accept only 2 guests at a time so I can guarantee your dog will receive plenty of one on one attention. It's safe to say your dog will be spoiled rotten and loved like one of my own. I always require a Meet n Greet prior to your first reservation. I feel this is important for the dogs and owners to ensure everyone is comfortable and happy. Your dog's safety & well being is my number one priority! Dogs under 1 year will be assessed on an individual basis. All dogs need to be current on vaccines, heartworm and flea/tick control. My dogs have had the dog flu vaccine. It is highly recommended that my guests be vaccinated as well. A current copy of your dog's vet records is required. Nightly rates are based on 24 hour stay. Additional fees may apply. If you are a past guest and see that my calendar is booked please send me a message about your dates.

We really like Sara and her dog Coco. We hope to be able to use her in the future. Our dog went in happy and came home happy!

I cannot say enough great things about Sara and how well she took care of my two fur babies, Wendy & Charlie! Sara had no problem giving Wendy and Charlie their medicine, she took them for walks, they slept in her room...the list goes on! Sara sent me pictures every day along with a little update on how things were going, which I appreciated especially since this was their first time staying with her. (Sara even texted me after we got home to check on them!) I HIGHLY recommend Sara; you can tell she truly cares about their health, happiness and well being and it is obvious that Sara is experienced with dogs. If you are like me and don't like leaving your fur babies just know they will be well taken care of with Sara!

Sara provided the home away from home I was looking for for my two dogs. She made sure all of their needs were met while showering them with love and cuddle time. My dogs got along great with her dogs and they had a blast together. Sara sent daily photos and quick notes of how things were going. We will definitely be requesting Sara from now on whenever we travel.

We love bringing our beloved dog to her home. She takes great care of him and lets him sleep with her at night! She gives us peace of mind so we can go away without a care in the world. Thanks Sara!

Information Sara G. would like to know about your pet

A meeting with you and your dog is required prior to your stayover. I want to make sure your dog gets along with mine and vice versa. Please advise about any health issues, allergies, etc. Basically I want your dog to be just as happy in my home as he or she is in yours. We have no preference on breeds we take care of, as long as there is no aggression displayed.
