Must Love Dogs. That’s ME!

Pet care experience

I’ve loved and owned dogs since I was a small child. My first pet as an adult was a cat. Since then, we have adopted and loved a previous military trained explosives German Shepherd, a German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix (currently own), and also the current owner of (with my spouse) a police K9 Belgian Malinois. The K9 was brought home at 8 weeks and trained in-house (both at home and at work, but trained by my husband). I love all dogs- big and small.

Our dog instantly liked Sara! You can tell she loves dogs and knows how to interact with them and put them at ease. Great communicator and we will definitely be booking her again!

Sara has taken great care of her own pets her entire life. She is reliable and responsible and a trustworthy individual. I have been fortunate enough to have Sara watch my little buddies when I’m out of town and she gives me excellent peace of mind. I come back to happy and healthy pets, which is a miracle because we have some neuroses over here. Sara is great!

Safety, trust & environment

My dogs are also considered my children. We have a large fenced in yard where they like to run and play fetch. We also take walks often, so I am comfortable with leashing and controlling dogs in a variety of situations.

Information Sara M. would like to know about your pet

I will need to know any pertinent or special circumstances ahead of time, along with meal and potty times. I am happy to accommodate accordingly.

A typical day

I love playing fetch with my own dogs (they have the need for speed) and walking them. Copper Creek Lake is one of my favorite walking spots.
