Pet care experience

Uniquely dog-devoted professional

Trained dogs in 4-H for 8 yrs. Trained professionally for 5 yrs. Fostered for rescues for 3 yrs. In-home boarding and house sitting for 10yrs. Veterinary Assisntant for 1 yr. Veterinary Technician for 5yrs. Dog mom for 15+ yrs. I have devoted my life since childhood to learning as much about dogs as possible and translating that education to the most well-rounded and beneficial care for your dog. I am one of those unique people who truly loves and understands all our canine friends. I also love taking care of kitties, but sadly am unable to do so in my own home. I have 2 young children in addition to my fur-babies and am a stay at home mom at the moment. Which means, I have fairly open availability to care for your sweet fur-babies! I have a 6ft privacy fenced yard at my home with access to shaded areas, beds, water, and toys. I monitor all outside time so that I can watch interactions and make sure no one is getting into trouble or eating things they shouldn’t (as well as monitoring things like stool and urination frequency).

Buddy was happy and exhausted when he got home from Sara’s. She sent pictures showing him playing and napping. We were very happy with the care Buddy got and hope to use Sara in the future!

My dog loved Sara. He’s usually whining at the door when I get back but he was so content with her. Definitely made me feel good to leave him with her.

Schedule

I am currently stay-at -home mom for 2 kiddos, with one currently in school. Pet sitting has been the perfect addition to my routine, especially with my knowledge and experience. All my clients are treated like one of our own and get all the love and attention they are used to at home, and then some!! I also can now offer full grooming services including baths, nail trims, and haircuts! I am certified, insured and have a few years of experience! If you are interested, please let me know and we can discuss details.

Safety, trust & environment

They are treated like family in my home. We do our best to stick to their regular routine. Typically our routine is waking up around 6am and eating breakfast. Then, if weather permits, we like to get outside to play or go on a walk. The afternoons are usually quiet with lunch and nap times for all. Then evening we like to get some more play in or walks before dinner. We are usually wound down and ready for bed by 8pm. Dogs are welcome to sleep wherever they are comfortable. We have a couch, beds, dog beds, and crates (if they are trained for them). Caring for your pet in your home will be carried out per your request and instructions 100%. I am very thorough and have a great attention to detail. So I will stick to your guidelines and aim to go above and beyond where I can.

Pets

A typical day

I enjoy taking them out to the yard to run and play games at least twice a day. My preferred is to engage in structured walks or their favorite game! And of course I offer the daily doses of prescribed cuddles!
