A Loving, Social Home with Room to Play & Heal Hi! I’m a work-from-home dog lover with a one-year-old mixed-breed pup named Moose, and our home is built around creating a safe, happy, and social environment for dogs. Earlier this year, Moose lost his 15-year-old Shih Tzu companion, and it was clear how much he missed having a furry friend. Over the holidays, he spent time with my mom’s big dog and absolutely lit up—the playtime, companionship, and shared energy reminded us just how much Moose thrives with other dogs around. He truly loves having friends. Moose is a gentle giant who shares food, water, toys, and space with ease. He’s great at reading other dogs—comfortable submitting to an alpha, confident enough to step into a leadership role when needed, but always kind, playful, and respectful. His favorite thing is simply being around other dogs and engaging in healthy, happy play. I’m currently working on my book and work from home full-time, so your dog will receive constant supervision, attention, and care. We have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of space to run and play, plus a calm indoor setup with multiple dog beds and even separate bedrooms if your pup prefers alone time or a quiet retreat. Moose has done daycare before and done very well, but being able to host dogs while I’m home feels even more personal and comforting. I truly love dogs and take pride in offering a warm, safe, and friendly environment where they can feel relaxed, welcomed, and loved. If Moose gets companionship and I can help another pet parent along the way, it’s a win for everyone. Your dog will be treated like family here—because that’s exactly what they are. 🐾💕 I also have extensive senior care experience as well as new puppy and crate training experience!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I treat all pets like they are my own. I absolutely love animals, and could spend all day with pets! I get so excited when I can be with animals and love their energy. I can administer meds. I’m very cautious if they have dietary needs, and I am very detail oriented and listen to the owners requests.

Sara is a great sitter! Her passion for animals is what makes her so good. We trust her with all our pets and her experience with senior dogs makes us feel so comfortable with her.

Schedule

I work for myself from home so I can be with them and play with them all day, no problem. Looking for my senior dog to have some company while also helping some other people who want to give their dogs some extra love, more 1 on 1 attention, or maybe a dog with anxiety who needs attention, who doesn’t play much but doesn’t like to be home all day. Have them come to me!
