Pet care experience

Your dog deserves V.I.P. treatment!

Dogs have been a big part of my life for over 30 years. From fostering to in home boarding, clients know their dogs are in good hands. I treat each pet like they belong to me and I make sure they know they're loved. From the time they walk through the door, I put them at ease, gain their trust, and provide a safe, fun and playful atmosphere they'll thrive in. I have a senior dog and have worked with fosters that were grieving or came from abusive homes. When your pet lives in my home, you can expect them to be treated like the Very Important Pets that they are.

Mia has stayed with Sarah a few times now, and it won’t be the last because we love her! Mia is a bit timid and we can tell she feels very comfortable with Sarah and Frank. Sarah goes above and beyond to take walks, give updates, and accommodate Mia’s needs to make sure she is not just taken care of, but also feels right at home. We are truly appreciative of Sarah’s compassion and kindness. Grateful to be connected and have a reliable connection to watch Mia when we need coverage. Thank you!

Our dog can be difficult initially as he has anxiety until things settle down. Sarah persevered through the initial difficult period and did a great job with Tucker!

Schedule

As a freelance writer, I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for your baby. There are a few nice dog parks nearby and I am near several walking trails that can provide your dog with entertainment.

Safety, trust & environment

While I don't have a fenced yard, there is a spacious dog park out back. I pay close attention to instructions, ask questions prior to the stay. If your dog needs to be crated during the day to feel safe, that is no problem. I only allow one dog at a time in addition to my dachshund so your baby gets enough attention.

Pets

A typical day

We're out the door upon waking to take a walk and then back home to eat breakfast followed by play time and a nap while I work. In the afternoon, we may go to the dog park, and sit on the patio. Depending on what your dog likes to play with, well get another play session in mid afternoon to evening. I have many options for walking, including dog parks and nature paths adjacent to my development.
