Rescuer turned Dog Nanny ❤️🐶

Pet care experience

Since childhood i’ve been rescuing animals, i’ve been particularly passionate about helping place abused dogs with their furever families. Lost pets also seem to have a way of seeking me out, I keep them safe until they can be reunited with their owners. Right place at the right time, or they just know i’m a friend, and the dogs nobody can get out of the road in busy intersections will run towards me and jump in my arms or my car. I’ve worked with all different kinds of breeds, everyone knows their animals are safe & loved when they leave them with me for the day or to go out of town. I’m thankful that I will get to turn my passion for animals into an opportunity to make money doing what I love.

Cookie had a great stay with Sara. We got lots of updates and photos and it always looked like she was having fun playing . Cookie is very high energy since she is still a puppy but she got plenty of time and space to run around and play and have a great time. We look forward to Cookie’s next stay at Sara’s place !

Safety, trust & environment

Dogs are treated like family here! Expect plenty of quality time, couch cuddles and outdoor play. My house is situated on an Pesticide free/chemical free acre in suburbia, we have a 1/3acre fully fenced front yard, and the 1/3acre back lot is perfect for dogs that love to fetch. If i’m caring for dogs that have special needs that need more quiet time, my 1 level ranch has several pocket doors so the home can be sectioned off to accommodate. It really is the perfect layout, both my home & yard areas- for our furry family members to thrive.

Home

Lives in a house
Has a fenced yard
Non-smoking household

Information Sara S. would like to know about your pet

If applicable-Feeding schedule, medicine schedule, favorite toys, likes & dislikes (that last one is pretty important too because each pooch has their own sensitivities and knowing ahead of time can be helpful)

A typical day

Again, Dogs are treated like family here. This isn’t ordinary boarding where they get stuck in a cage. They get to roam free in the house, are supervised in the fenced yard, played with nonstop-tug of war, fetch, walks, snuggles, belly scratches, whatever your dog is into I can accommodate. Sprinklers, kiddie pool (or not depending on your preference, my home Is fully air conditioned so water play is just an option on hot days)
