Highlights
Pet care experience
☆ Sighthound Lover ☆
I have always had dogs in my life since I was a child in 4-H with my Golden Retriever and Collie. That's almost 30 years dedication to my furry friends! Now I have adorable Italian Greyhounds and a couple Ibizan Hounds who are a constant source of fun and amusement! They know their basic commands and are well mannered little cuties, we participate in dog shows and sports. I am well versed in canine behaviour and you can be sure your dog will be a happy pup when you return. I make my own dog treats - highly desirable chicken jerky or you can pack your treats from home. I am home most of the day and Aaron works from home so your pup will always be supervised and cared for. Hope to meet your doggy soon!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Sarah was polite and dropoff and pickup. I only heard from her once during the week stay for my three pups…. and it was a two sentence answer to my inquiry to how things were going (“They are pretty good. They are very sweet). The pups were happy at pickup, but she stated that she had had difficulty giving the seizure medication to one of our dogs who needed it three times a day, which indicated she had not read our notes to her (all she had to do was add it with water to his food). She also said she had not fed them dinner, even though it was only late afternoon, their third meal of the day is late evening. All three dogs came home desperate for water…. and we noticed only 1/3 of their food had been used, when a week’s supply was sent… but one full bag of greenies had been used. All three dogs have diarrhea, so have clearly been off their diet, and my 14 year old voracious eater won’t eat at all unless I sit next to him now, and has downed three full dishes of water on his own. I have no idea if he suffered a seizure due to lack of medication and proper diet. I expect some variation to care when I send my dog to someone else’s care, and that they might come home grubby and smelly, but not variation that compromises their health. We will continue our hunt for a safe sitter.
So happy to have found a place where my girls can play with other Italian greyhounds!!
Thank you so much for watching our boys again! They came back smelling fresh with clean bedding. They always seem tired out and happy when coming home :) Thanks again!
Sarah is absolutely the best! My dogs love her and so do I. She just watched my two dogs for 2 1/2 months. Sarah is sweet and knowledgeable, and took really good care of my babies. They love doggy play time and I could tell in the pics I received, my babies were content and happy which made it a lot easier on me having to leave them for so long. I didn't worry because I knew they were in good hands. I am a repeat customer and will be back !
My babies came home happy and tired which tells me they had a great time playing with the other dogs. I think Sarah has a great kindness to her and is knowledgeable about dogs. I will definitely use her again in the near future
Sarah was accommodating and kind. She has a true love of animals and my dogs were well taken care of

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced yard, 8 ft tall, for safe day time play. Dogs are crated for meals to ensure they eat all of their own food. All fence gates and doors are double fenced to prevent escape
Pets
A typical day
The dogs love to run and play in the big fenced yards. The dogs only go out to play under supervision. We use a safe potty yard for overnight breaks. We have a mini farm, there are other animals your dog can meet through the fence. We offer trail walks on the property for leash trained dogs, just book an individual time walk while they are here. Over the summer the pool is set up and hose ready to play with the dogs who like water. If your dog likes to swim we can walk to the lake.

- I primarily watch Italian Greyhounds and other small and medium dogs under 45 pounds. I am open to watching other bigger sighthounds, mine love new fast friends :) I would like to know a little about your dog's personality, their favorite toys, sleeping arrangements, diet, medications.
