Availability

I am currently working full time at COUNTRY Financial Monday-Thursday. I am currently working in the office on Monday and Tuesdays then at home the other two days. I currently work 6am to 4:30pm. When I go into the office, I would be able to let your pet out before I go to work, on my lunch break, and of course after work I would be able to take them for walks and play with them! When I am working from home I would be able to let your pet out a little more frequently. I am usually home on the weekends unless my daughter has an activity to go to or I have other scheduled plans or need to run and errand. Due to working full time and having a school age daughter, I am currently not able to do drop offs/pick ups after 8:30 PM from Sunday to Thursday and not able to do drop offs/pick ups between 5:30 AM to 5 PM on Monday and Tuesdays.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in back yard that is pretty large in size for your pets to be let out and play. I have a ten year old daughter who is a lover of all animals and would give your pets all kinds of extra love! My home is a bi-level home so it does require dogs to go up and down stairs to get in and out of the house. Dogs are not currently allowed in the downstairs of my home which is carpeted. The upstairs of my home is hardwood and that is where dogs can be when inside.

Non-smoking household

Information Sara H. would like to know about your pet

I will need to know how you keep your pet when you leave the house, your pets feeding schedule, any medications your pet may get, and how your pet sleeps at night. If your dog is in the process of being potty trained, I like them to be crate trained.

A typical day

I like to try to get a walk in when I wake up as well as after my work day during the week where the dogs can join. We like to play fetch with the dogs in our backyard throughout the day. My daughter loves to do tricks with the dogs so if your pet has any tricks they know she will love to work on that with them!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Sara! I have been around animals and helped raise animals my whole life. Before I was even born my mom was a Border Collie Breeder until I was 18 and now she breeds Golden Doodles and Bernedoodles. Growing up I got to help take care of all the puppies and our adult dogs around the house. I also grew up on farm that always had cats on it and I always loved being able to go to the farm and play with them. Since I grew up around dogs I also would help give any medication they needed so I would be able to help out if your pet needed any type of medication. We will be getting a Bernedoodle puppy of our own in July of 2023!
