We wake up around 8:30am, let the dogs out, fill water bowls and eat breakfast while the dogs play in the yard. Depending on the weather, the dogs like to stay out for awhile! Once it starts to heat up they come in to relax. My dogs typically go back outside to play for 30, then lay in the kitchen when my daughter takes her nap 2pm. They let us know when they want to come and go usually. They go out again around 5pm-6pm, eat on the patio, then come inside to chill. They go out again at least once before bed, sometimes more often. Really easy going. They have toys inside and outside, as well as water bowls. We go for a walk on the weekends or cool evenings with my daughter in the stroller. They have dog friend that come to play often.

I have blink security cameras that I can see and talk to the dogs on while I am not there. My dogs stay out around the house when I leave but we do also have two XL kennels incase. We feed our visiting doggos in a separate room to avoid any possible food aggravation but there is always water down 24/7.

Information Sara P. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about any behavioral issues, allergies, food restrictions, medications, and if your pet is spayed or neutered. Do they get along with other dogs?

A typical day

They hangout around the house most of the morning with my daughter and I until we go to work 1:15pm. My husband works from home in his office so they always have someone to let them out and check on them from the time I leave till the time I get home around 7:45pm. When I get home I do bedtime routine with my daughter and then the animals hangout in the living room with us while we watch tv before bed.

Pet care experience

I am a 26yr old, active, organized and compassionate mom looking for some extra hours. I grew up on a horse farm with a couple dozen cats, and multiple dogs of all sizes over the years. From English mastiffs to Chihuahuas. My own pup bodhi LOVES playing tag and wrestling. I have no issues taking leash trained dogs for walks, to the park, river, or bathing. I have two dogs of my own, Roxy and Bodhi, that love meeting new friends and going for swims in the river. We own our home. There are baby gates throughout to separate the dogs from the playroom, daughters bedroom, and kitchen when we’re eating. We have a 6 foot fully fenced backyard with Blink cameras. Before moving into my own home, we shared a house with 5 other dogs/roommates which they got along with well. I don’t mind animals being on furniture as long as they have boundaries! We have multiple dog beds, two couches and a love seat the animals can lay on. As well as a cat tree, two litter boxes, and cat beds in the windowsills for sunbathing baby’s. I have blink cameras for the few hours I am at work (part time afternoons m-th) to speak to them and watch any and all shenanigan's! Also, my partner does work from home, so there is always someone just incase. I have a 2yr old daughter that has grown up around animals. Rats, cats, snakes, small and large dogs, ect. And loves the daily feeding and petting new friends. I don’t believe in hitting or screaming at anyone especially not fur babies. Extra cuddles and scratches are given out as requested by doggo :) we love to give out treats!

Sara was great! Our golden retriever and beagle had a great time with her two pups. She was very responsive and accommodating. Definitely recommend!
