Information Sara O. would like to know about your pet

Any special or favorite toys, treats, or games that they already enjoy would be great to know so we could continue with what they already love and feel safe with.

A typical day

We have a mile long walking path around our neighborhood and a dog park coming soon to our community. We also have a big backyard (partially fenced) which we could easily complete if needed...we have a metal rod and yard lead for temporary use.

Pet care experience

I've grown up with multiple pets such as dogs, cats, guinea pigs, ferrets, hamsters, turtle, & fish. I have volunteered for two years at the ARL walking & feeding dogs of all sizes & breeds, as well as, caring for many cats and rabbits. I've, also fostered cat/kittens for 2 years while in college and have several family members and friends with dogs of all sizes so we are well versed for a good belly/chest rub or ear scratch. Currently, we have a cavachon dog named Lady who is super sweet and friendly to everyone. Sometime soon we hope to get another 1 (or maybe 2) puppy of the same breed. If there's anything else needed, I have also done help with putting trash out, bringing in the mail/packages, watering the plants or any other small side jobs that you may need if go away for a few days or weeks.

Sara is great with our dog and very easy to work with. We’ve used her devices many times and will continue to.

We appreciate Sara bringing in packages, mail, and garbage for us, as well as checking on the cats and scooping the litter for us while we were gone.
