Young mom and son who love animals!
Pet care experience
I've taken care of lots of animals since I started babysitting and dog sitting around 11 years old. I'm comfortable with all sorts of dogs with all their different personalities! My son loves to walk our grandma's Brussels Griffon and is also quite happy to ride in my backpack carrier when we walk large or more enthusiastic ones, so all are welcome. We live on a half acre in the back of our neighborhood on a cul-de-sac so it's a quiet street and our neighbors love to stop and chat when we're out in the yard. Our backyard is fenced in and we do have an outdoor cat (as does our neighbor) but they're very self-sufficient. My cat, Ava, has been known to give a too-curious puppy a gentle swat and she'll hiss at the exuberant dogs who get too close but other than that, she's really quite gentle! She prefers to look on from afar, as cats do haha! We keep a clean and tidy home without much clutter so your pet can stay here worry-free. And there's plenty of room for crates, dog beds, or whatever else your pet would like to bring from home. We can't wait to meet your special pet and yourself too!
Reviews

We have a fenced in backyard with lots of space to play ball and run around. We are usually out playing most days of the week already and we are a minimal kid-toy home so you don't have to worry about any chewing behaviors - we totally understand anyway! We have lots of space for crates or dog beds or whatever your pet prefers and our neighborhood has nice, freshly paved, wide streets where the speed limit is 25 miles per hour. It's quite a relaxing and friendly area!
Information Sarah B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog is wearing anything like a cone or diaper or has any other special needs I need to know about. This is mostly so we can discuss what supplies I'll need and what you'll provide each day. Also if your dog has any anxiety or destructive behaviors (including food snatching), I don't mind at all but would like to know beforehand so I can make sure our human toys and food are put away before your pet comes over. It'll make the whole process more smooth for everyone involved. I'd hate to have to call you because your dog ate something off the back of the counter when I wasn't expecting such an experienced counter surfer!
A typical day
We'll get out for an early morning walk to get the morning sunshine on our faces and then play a bit outside when we're back. After breakfast and some activities of daily living, humans will eat lunch and have a mid-afternoon rest. Then we'll get out for another walk in the afternoon or early evening depending on pavement heat and play outside until bedtime.

Availability
I stay at home with my son during the week and my husband has the option to work from home if he needs to so if my son is sick, it won't hinder me from taking care of your pets! We love being outdoors in any weather already so scheduling should be a breeze. Typically I go to the gym sometime during the day and have a nap/rest time for my son in the early afternoon, but we're quite flexible so reach out and let's see what we can work out!
