Socializing, training, and fun!

Pet care experience

I learned how to train dogs when I was young, and my dogs' "party tricks" always impress! Long after that, I took two years of college courses in animal science. I then worked at a dog-sitting place while I finished my degree and learned about many different breeds and temperaments. I would love to babysit your pup at my house, but I do work 8 hours per work day, so that would be completely up to the amount of care your dog needs. I come home for an hour lunch every day that I work to walk my dog and play with him. My dog also loves to play fetch before watching TV and curling up for the night and I know he would love a friend! If you would like your dog to learn a new behavior or trick while playing with my and my pup, let me know! I love helping them learn.

Sara did a great job taking care of Penelope. My dog can be anxious and needy, but I know she was comfortable and relaxed at her home. I will be booking with her again this summer.

Sara was very flexible and easy to do business with. It seems like Alfie had a great time with Sara and Coco. Thanks for your help Sara, Alfie is looking forward to his next stay with you! :)

Sara was very flexible in meeting us to drop and pick up our dog. He seemed to enjoy playing with her little dog and was happy when we picked him up.

I will definitely be booking with Sara again! Oscar had a great time. Sara is knowledgeable and responsible, and responded to my last-minute booking (saving my bacon)!

Information Sara P. would like to know about your pet

What manners does your dog have? Does he jump up on furniture? Does he grab for snacks? Is he alpha or submissive? Is he potty trained? What tricks does he know? What behaviors does he do that you do not encourage or allow? Is there anything you are working on with him? Does he walk on a short leash or a retractable leash?

A typical day

I take my dog on several walks every day and he loves when we take a long walk to Notre Dame. The students love to say hi to him and pet him. We also play fetch and tug-o-war pretty much every day! If it's warm, we can play "chase" outside, otherwise he insists we play inside.
