It's a dogs world.

Pet care experience

I have 2 rescue Labradors, Charles (10) and Theodore (10), a 15 year old pit bull mix, Olivia, and our newest girl, Maggie, a 9 year old Newfie. Our house is extremely "old dog" friendly. Everyone still has their legs under them, but we have tried to make the house as hip friendly as we can. They all act like giant puppies and refuse to acknowledge the age of their bones. Old dogs have a special place in my heart, but I love sitting any age of pup! I am a servant to one feline, Jynx. She does not care about anything but her food and her sunning chair. We started rescuing rabbits around last August, and they are absolute loves. George Francis Fitzgerald Bailey (3), Fitz for short, Magdolena (1), Gabriella (3), and Phoebe (3). Fitzers is our cuddle buns. He loves to snuggle! We bunny proofed the house, but they also have their own room. That is a nibble about me. There is no sitting job too big or too small. I am incredibly flexible on both time and fees, and I am able to sit and walk at anytime.

Sarah was amazing with my two dogs for a week! She kept me informed and my dogs busy. This was our first time leaving our youngest puppy, and it turns out she was extremely anxious. Sarah took care of her, cleaned up her messes, and even went to the store to get some chicken and rice to settle her stomach. It cannot have been easy or pleasant, but Sarah dealt with it like a champ. I cannot recommend her enough!

Sarah and Bryan were amazing and went above and beyond to make sure our cats were being very well taken care of while we were away. I really appreciated the high level of communication she maintained with us and knew that our cats were in the best hands. She was really understanding and patient with our cats and their quirks about eating and was super flexible and was able to come feed them at their usually meal time which was quite early in the morning. I 100% recommend Sarah and Bryan and would love to have them cat sit for us again!

Information Sarah B. would like to know about your pet

Special needs. What they like, what they do not like. Allergies. An example: I make all of our own dog treats and dehydrated jerky, and can adjust for allergies. Thinks like that that take the stress off of both you and your furry sidekick.

A typical day

I can do any activity that is within the individual limits of the puppers. We can go on walks, we can hike, we can swim, we can take rides, play ball. We do it all.

Availability

Bryan and I both work from home which allows for incredibly flexible schedules. We can board or sit in your home at any time. Maggie wakes me up around 6 with nose to the face. Everyone eats between 7-8. They all let me know what they need when they need it in their own way and that is a range including howling, yawns, the pitch of a wine, the noise of the yawn, stares. Patience is our friend. We aren't really on a solid schedule, but I can roll with whatever schedule is needed/wanted.
