Information Sara W. would like to know about your pet

If your dog as any special needs or fears I would like to know so I can make them as comfortable as possible. My dog had separation anxiety and having the right care provider made all the difference in the world, so I know now it feels to know that your dog is well cared for and comfortable. If your dog would like to bring their favorite toy/blanket/bed to feel more comfortable that is fine as well!

A typical day

My fenced in yard provides opportunity for your dog to run and play. On cold, rainy or really hot days the designated doggy area is temperature controlled and set up specifically for the dogs with room to roam and play. I have lots of dog toys, chuck it wands for fetch, kiddy pools, a doggy fountain, a ball launcher, and a swift paws chase system, all to keep your dog entertained during their visit.

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Sara. I decided to become a dog sitter out of pure frustration of trying to board my own dog. After visiting and trying a few places, I just wasn’t confident in the quality of care he was getting. I want to help other pet owners by offering a safe, fun and clean place with personalized care and individual attention for their pups. The doggy housing area is a part of my home, set up specifically for dog care and boarding, and your dog is always under the same room as me. There is room to play with cozy blankets, crates, toys and direct access to a fenced in yard. I am home full time but if something takes me away from the house, it is typically only for a couple hours. During that time dogs are in the designated housing area where I have cameras set up so I can monitor them even when I am away! Your dog will have lots of play, exercise, love and attention. If your dog is more the relaxed type I have lots of places through out the house to relax for a good nap. My home and dog related supplies (toys, crates, beds, blankets, dishes) are kept very clean, so your dog will have a happy, healthy, spoiled time while in my care!
