Loving Care and Fun Adventures

Hi, I'm Sarah! I work full-time from home and am thrilled to offer a safe, loving environment for your dog. They will be treated like family alongside my two sweet Miniature Dachshunds, Shirley and Charlie. Your dog's happiness, comfort, and safety are my top priorities! Medical & Senior Care Experience •Senior-Friendly: Happy to provide a quiet, comfortable, and closely monitored space for older pups to rest. •Medication Administration: Highly experienced with strict medication schedules, including giving pills and daily injections (my previous dog was diabetic). Home Environment, Safety & Amenities •Constant Supervision: Because I work from home, your dog will have companionship all day and rarely be left alone. •Outdoor Safety: We have a fully fenced yard. Because we have a pool, strict safety rules apply: no dog is ever allowed outside unattended. •Sun Protection: I closely monitor outdoor heat exposure and provide plenty of shaded umbrellas to keep dogs cool. •Ultimate Comfort: We have a fully filtered water fountain, multiple dog beds in every room, and extra crates available if your dog prefers a "den." •Playtime: Inside, your pup hits the jackpot with five full baskets of dog toys! •Structured Routines: I feed my dogs three times a day and am perfectly equipped to maintain your dog's exact feeding and care schedule. I can't wait to meet you and your pup!

Pets

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.

To ensure your dog has the best possible stay, I love to get a full picture of their daily life! Please let me know: •Socialization: How does your dog do with small breeds? •Medical & Feeding Needs: Do they have any allergies, strict feeding schedules, or require medications? Behavioral Quirks: Are they an escape artist? Do they have any resource guarding with toys or food? Fears & Triggers: Are they afraid of thunderstorms, loud noises, or the pool? Potty & Sleep Habits: Are they crate trained, or do they prefer to sleep on a dog bed?
