Pet care experience

*I strictly only take payments over Rover* If you do not request a week or more out I can not guarantee a meet and greet. If you are a repeat customer a meet and greet is not required again. If you have scheduled a meet and greet but need to reschedule because something came up, I can accommodate but you will be granted one more chance to reschedule. My schedule right now is based off of my collegiate career. This works out great for all dogs since most of my work is done near home. I have no children and had a few dogs in the past but none at this time. You may drop off or pick up with myself it depends on the time. I try my best to make all as convenient as possible. I have been very involved in pet rescue we volunteered from 2017 into 2018 at Pet Smart with Cat adoptions cleaning cages. I have also fostered dogs in the past. Also have extensive experience with many breeds and personalities. Our home is dog proof and the best feature is our large dog friendly backyard with a 6ft fence. If the dogs are well behaved and good on a leash I can take them to dog parks and on walks. If they are still in training I will let them get their exercise and socialization outside in my backyard. I do not leave them unsupervised. It’s for their safety and your peace of mind. I have a lot of experience with dogs and have had dogs through out my childhood. I enjoy training dogs as an amateur hobby. If your dog needs some behavioral training I can work with them in the period of time they are here if you give me a heads up on the area of training requested. I do not have any certifications for dog training. I have some medical certifications for emergency situations and some medication on hand if they need and will ask permission to use it if needed. I have required certifications for dog boarding/pet sitting. I stay up to date on my Rover training and safety tips. All of my clients need to make sure their dog is update on their shots and I recommend tick and flea meds as the summer season approaches (Rover does not cover anything tick or flea related). I am very gentile and courteous to your needs as well as your furry family members. If they have unique schedule or diet I will make sure to follow it. If there is a problem that I will not be able to meet those requirements I will let you know a head of time so you have the time to find the adequate care you need. ~What to bring~ If your fur baby needs to be crated please bring their crate at drop off other items I ask for as minimum are food leash/collar and medication if needed. It is always a good idea for your dog to be microchipped or have dog tags. It is important to me for your pets to have fun while they are here but the most important thing to me is their safety. -Beds, blankets, toys and treats are optional -Please make sure it is your dogs regular dog food, do not switch or change food a few days before coming to our home because in some dogs, switching the food abruptly can cause diarrhea. ***IMPORTANT*** Because the dogs are free to roam around the house it is important the you arrive on time. If you are running late, please keep us update so we have time to put the other dog guest away prior to your arrival. We like to have a smooth pick up or drop off so its important that if your arrival time changes that you let us know. Thank you for your cooperation. I know that all my clients are at ease while their pet stays with me. I make sure to send frequent updates, if more or less are needed let me know. I normally do a written update daily and try to send a good amount of pictures. 100 percent of my client base get pictures. We hope you will book with us and that we will be able to accommodate you. Thank you, - Sarah

Sarah and her family took great care of our furbaby Olivia during our vacation. Olivia had a little separation anxiety and wouldn't eat her regular kibbles, Sarah was very kind to provide her dog's food to her. When we picked up Olivia, she was healthy and happy. We will contact Sarah when we need pet-sitting services in the future.

I am so glad I found Sarah to watch our pups while I was traveling! I was out of the country for two weeks, but thankfully my mind was at peace while I was gone. Sarah took the initiative to hear my dogs needs and how they are best taken care of and I believe she did just that. My dogs were in great care. They can be a bit naughty with new people, but they were so well taken care of. One of my dogs usually gets anxiety stools and her meds help her to chill out, but she didn’t need any while I was gone and her stools were firm. So relieved and happy to receive update photos too!

Sarah walked with Wes and her boyfriends with a baby is cute. But when Wes comes back he still has a lot energetic and needs more work out. I saw on the rover maps trailer showing 0.68 miles walked in 39 minutes. Hope next time moderate speed maybe will help. Thanks you.

A typical day

I like to take the dogs to the park. I do walks only if asked, normally I take the dogs to the park or let them play in the back yard. I play tug of war with the dogs and let them play with toys. I sometimes teach them tricks depending on how long I have them or the amount of one on one I have with them. I normally try to get them to learn paw, which fairly easy to learn and I'm good at teaching it. I also like cuddling if they are cuddling kind of dog.
