Loving Care and Fun Adventures
Hi, I'm Sarah! As a devoted dog mom who works full-time from home, I am thrilled to offer a safe, loving, and highly attentive environment for your furry best friend. Whether your pup is joining me for doggy daycare or an extended boarding stay, they will be treated like a true member of the family. I share my home with my two sweet Miniature Dachshunds, Shirley and Charlie. They are absolutely the center of my world, and the immense love I have for them translates into how I care for every single guest dog that walks through my door. Your dog's happiness, comfort, and safety are my top priorities. Medical & Senior Care Experience I know how stressful it can be to leave a dog who needs a little extra help. I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs and am completely comfortable administering both pills and injections. My previous dog had diabetes and required daily insulin injections, so I am very well-versed in managing strict medication schedules with patience and a gentle touch. If your senior pup just needs a quiet place to nap and someone to keep a close eye on them, they will be in great hands here. Home Environment, Safety & Amenities Constant Supervision: Because I work from home, your dog will rarely be alone. They will have my companionship and supervision throughout the entire day. Fully Fenced Yard & Sun Safety: We have a great, fully fenced-in yard for potty breaks and playtime. We do have a pool, but strict safety rules apply: no dog is ever allowed outside unattended. Additionally, I have plenty of umbrellas set up outside and I closely monitor their sun and heat exposure throughout the day to make sure everyone stays cool, shaded, and comfortable. Dog-Friendly Perks & Comfort: Inside, your pup will hit the jackpot with five baskets full of dog toys to keep them entertained! We also use a fully filtered dog water fountain so they always have access to fresh, flowing water. For nap time, I have multiple dog beds placed all around the house so there is always a soft spot to land. If your dog is crate-trained or prefers having their own "den" to decompress, I have extra dog crates available for use as well. Structured Routine: I maintain a rigorous feeding schedule for my own dogs, who are fed three times a day. I know how important consistency is, and I am perfectly equipped to follow whatever strict meal routine your dog requires. I can't wait to meet you and your pup!

Schedule
Because I work full-time from home, pet care is seamlessly woven into my entire day. I maintain a structured, predictable routine for my own two dogs, which includes a rigorous feeding schedule of three meals a day. Throughout my workday, the dogs hang out with me in the house, taking advantage of the multiple dog beds or digging into our five baskets of toys. I take the dogs out for frequent, fully supervised potty and play breaks in our fenced yard, carefully monitoring their sun and heat exposure under the umbrellas. Since I am home all day, I have the flexibility to easily accommodate any specific feeding, medication, or potty schedules your dog needs to feel comfortable

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My approach to pet care is centered around safety, routine, and making your dog feel like part of the family. Here is how I care for pets in my home: Constant Supervision: I work from home, so dogs are rarely alone. No dog is ever allowed in the backyard unattended due to the pool, and I closely monitor their sun and heat intake under our outdoor umbrellas. Tailored Health & Nutrition: I am experienced in senior and medical care, including giving pills and daily injections. I can easily accommodate strict diets and currently maintain a rigorous three-meal-a-day schedule for my own dogs. Premium Comfort: Your dog will have access to a fresh, filtered water fountain, multiple cozy dog beds spread throughout the house, and extra crates if they prefer their own space. Enrichment & Love: They will get plenty of supervised playtime with our five baskets of toys, socialization with my two friendly Miniature Dachshunds, and endless affection throughout the workday.

A typical day
The Toy Jackpot: We have five large baskets of dog toys. Whether a dog loves squeakers, ropes, or chew toys, we spend lots of time playing fetch, tug, and figuring out puzzles. (My dog Shirley is always ready for a game of indoor fetch with her favorite ball!) Supervised Yard Time: We take full advantage of the fully fenced yard. We do supervised romps in the grass, exploring, and then plenty of lounging in the shade under our outdoor umbrellas. Mental Enrichment: Keeping dogs' minds active is just as fun as physical play. We do positive reinforcement training games to practice basic commands, puzzle feeders, and special treat times. Cozy Downtime: After all the fun, one of our favorite activities is simply snuggling up on the multiple dog beds around the house for some quality belly rubs and relaxation.
