Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced backyard but currently do not offer boarding at the moment since I work full time and could not be home consistently for boarding.

Information Sara M. would like to know about your pet

If boarding, I would like to know if your dog is good with other dogs and good with children so that I could plan accordingly for a safe place for your dog.

A typical day

Neighborhoods are great places to walk together. I love going to Mission Trails if your dog likes to hike! Our neighborhood is very safe and a great place to walk your dog! I love playing with kitties and learning about their fun personalities, as each one is so different!

Animal loving single mama

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a single mama of 2 kiddos plus a dog and hamster! I’m a full time speech therapist but want to earn some extra money to afford my kids’ theatre and soccer activities! I love all animals and have had dogs my whole life as pets. We love taking our dog Sissy on walks, hikes and to dog beach in OB. I grew up with dogs and have trained three of my family dogs as well as our dog Sissy. I am able to walk more than one dog at a time and always come prepared with doggy bags and a collapsible water bowl. We had our beloved cat Mimi until 2022 and he was such a snuggly part of our family, I love cats and would be happy to care for your cats while you're away! I have absolutely fallen in love with all my kitty clients and love playing with them, petting and brushing them! We have had 4 hamsters, 4 fish and 2 frogs over the last 16 years as family pets and I have loved them all! I know that it can be hard to leave your furry family member and I will take care of them as if they were my own and give them the best care! I’m looking forward to meeting your cute pets and can’t wait to spend time playing with and walking them!

Sara was great!! She communicated well, arrived on time, and took my dogs for a nice long walk. I loved getting her pictures. Would definitely recommend her to others.
