Small dog zone!

Pet care experience

I love to have all sorts of little dogs in the home. I have one requirement that they cohabitate well with my old man dog. I do have a cat too but she always ignores dogs. Teeth brushing is not a problem, playtime is frequent, and hugs are unlimited. Walks consist of around the neighborhood blocks and to smaller neighborhood parks. On weekends we might go to the beach or other hikes. If your pup is as great at scaling the tallest of hills, he or she will come with us! Dogs are not caged in our home, but I can diaper them if there might be some incontinence issues. If you train them to be crated, they can be crated if they are more comfortable that way. Kongs, treats, and extra kibble is available. Please bring any blanket or bed that they love and feel comfortable with.

Sarah is the BEST! We contact her FIRST whenever we have a need for a sitter. She's great with our little guy and her dogs are very sweet too! 100% recommend without reservations.

Sarah and Dylan are great! I don’t worry one bit when I am away and love the pictures I get throughout my dogs stay. They show a happy and content dog. I also like that they take only small dogs so I don’t need to worry about my 8 lb dog getting hurt by bigger dogs. They will be my first stop if I need someone again. Thank you!

Sarah was outstanding with my nervous pooch, welcoming him into her home and making him FEEL safe and comfortable. Communicative, with lots of pictures. Would highly recommend and use again in a heartbeat.

Information Sarah C. would like to know about your pet

In general, its good to know how long a walk usually is and anything I should be aware of on a walk such as if they are weary of other dogs or children, how many times they poop, etc. Please also let me know if there are any behaviors you wish to NOT reinforce in the home but also what games or training you would LIKE to reinforce or practice. For boarding or daycare, your dog MUST play be able to cohabitate peacefully with other dogs/my dog.

A typical day

If near Deering, my favorite place to go is Baxter Woods. Two light is another favorite. If they love fetch, we have plenty of things to fetch in home :)
