Information Sara O. would like to know about your pet

I love to be a calming presence for dogs that are anxious and. Red more care, but I am less comfortable with dogs that show signs of aggression towards me or other people.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on long walks around the neighborhood if that’s what they are use to and need. Playing catch with their favorite sticks, balls, and toys, then cuddling up to watch our favorite shows in the evening.

Scrappy & Cooper give 5 barks each for Sara, she was even kind enough to do laundry and vacuumed before she left. The four of us are waiting for her to return.

Sara has watched my rambunctious pups several times now, and they are always happy & healthy when I get home! She sends pics while I’m gone, which helps my mental health! This time, we had some flight delays that were stressful and Sara was SO patient and flexible & made sure the pups were cared for.

She was good with the pets, including taking care of a dog who was afraid of thunder during several thunderstorms. She was also honest and responsible and sent pictures of the pets.

Sara took wonderful care of our dogs and of our home. We have one dog who is very anxious when she is outside on a leash and Sara handled her perfectly and gave our dogs a lot of attention and snuggles and followed our dogs feeding instructions that also require more instructions than normal. She is responsive and responsible and we will be using her again in the future
