Pet care experience
I am an animal lover who grew up on a farm, surrounded by animals large and small. I am a former program director for Austin Pets Alive, an animal rescue organization in Austin, TX. I worked at a dog training and boarding facility called Buddy's Chance, where I studied operant classical conditioning and dog behavior. I have also volunteered hundreds of hours of my time to help in the surgical room of a low-cost spay and neuter clinic. I have a great deal of experience watching dogs with medical problems. I once cared for a disabled chihuahua mix before and after his back surgery, as well as during his physical therapy. I currently have two dogs of my own.

I am happy to care for your animals in your home, but I cannot bring them to mine. I am vaccinated and boosted and carry a mask at all times.
Information Sarah D. would like to know about your pet
I do not discriminate against any breed of dog. Please let me know what types of boundaries you set for your dog, if they have any allergies and what their typical schedule is.
A typical day
I am happy to play fetch in the yard, go for a hike, and run them over to the dog park. I can administer medication, whip up their dinner or offer a small treat too.
