Availability

I work in a school setting as an OP therapist, so my weekday schedule is limited during school hours but still pretty flexible overall. Weekday drop-offs usually need to be before 9 AM or after 3 PM, though I can sometimes make exceptions if needed. I’m off on Fridays and sometimes work from home on Mondays. On Mondays and Wednesdays, someone is home all day — I may be in and out, but your pup will still have company. I follow the school calendar, so I’m available during school breaks and all summer!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for your dog to run around and play in! I also have room for a crate if that is needed during the dogs stay. I welcome animals who are dog and child friendly. I do have a toddler in the home, so I ask that the animal is friendly towards children since they are very curious about dogs and will try to play and pet them. I often have fur babies from my family who come to visit and I do accept up to two/three dogs at a time for boarding therefore there is a chance there will be other pets here at the time of their stay.

Pet care experience

I have worked with dogs big and small for over 10 years. Growing up I volunteered at multiple animal shelters, and have even been able to home many of the dogs to members within my own family. I have always had a love for animals and enjoy helping my friends and family with petsitting. I welcome all dog breeds, and within my family we have a variety of pups ranging from pit bulls all the way to small terriers. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active so your dog will have plenty of outdoor play time and will go on walks often. I welcome animals to sleep on the couch and snuggle up if you have a cuddly fur baby, and also enjoy just have a lazy calm day if that’s what they prefer!

Sarah was wonderful with Kairi! I felt completely comfortable leaving her in Sarah’s care. She sent lots of updates and pictures, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I could tell Kairi was well taken care of and happy. I would absolutely book with her again!
