Highlights
Pet care experience
I'll spoil your puppers rotten!
Ever since I was a preteen I've been pet sitting. My family has owned Shiba Inus in the past, some of the most stubborn weirdos you'll ever meet. I was such a glutton for punishment I volunteered with the Colorado Shiba Inu Resue as a foster parent. I have fostered all kinds of dogs, outgoing, timid, out of shape, extra active, and even puppy mill survivors. I am happy to take care of dogs at mostly any age. I am able to give medication, oral, injections etc. I am trained in CPR and first aid. I am also bonded and insured by Pet Sitters Associates. I work from home, so I will be able to give your pup plenty of attention. I also have a good sized fenced yard where they can chase the squirrels all they want. I have a camera out back, so if I am not able to physically be there the whole time I can keep an eye on them.

Sarah was so sweet, great at communicating and made us feel comfortable leaving Ace. Best experience we’ve had, will definitely book again!
Awesome little place with a whole doggie lounge.
Phenomenal setup for the puppies and my dog didn't want to leave with that yard! Thank you when we will be using this service again for sure
Mango is a pretty anxious pup but she had an absolute blast at Sarah's place! She got to play a bunch and came home a very tired pup! Sarah sent lots of updates which I really appreciated as well!
Sarah was an amazing pet sitter for my Shiba, Hiro. I felt like she truly cared about my fur baby and loved having him. She was great about communicating and sending updates. I will definitely be using her services again!
Send daily updates and pictures! She’s so great with my dog and my dog loves her!

Schedule
I have a full time job where I am lucky enough to work from home. I do occasionally have appointments and other things that require I leave the home. For day care pups I typically make sure I am at home the whole time they are here. Boarded pups will be secured either in their crate, or separated from other dogs that are not from the same family. During the week I regularly interact with the dogs during my breaks and after work. Weekends are much more involved and I take the dogs on any errands I can and we often are in my yard together and I work on my garden.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have extensive experience with special needs dogs through my past as a foster parent. Puppy mill dogs, fearful/anxious dogs, and separation anxiety are all things I have dealt with previously. My own dog currently has high medical needs. So I am well versed in special diets, pills, liquids, injections and subQ fluids. Please be advised that some medical requirements may have an extra charge due to how involved it can be. I also am certified in CPR and first aid. I am a big believer in setting dogs up for success and make sure to feed everyone separately, and reduce the potential for any conflict that may occur. Dog body language is assessed closely and I try to make sure the dogs are happy and comfortable while with me. My house is dog proofed with dog gates and places to separate dogs as needed. Every dog can have an off day or just not get along with another. I try to make sure they have their space then and a quiet place to decompress. If a dog has a specific habit such as marking, eating things, garbage rummaging etc... please let me know in advance so I can take the appropriate steps to accommodate them. My backyard is fully fenced and dog proofed. Though please let me know if they are a digger or escape artist so I can make sure to pay extra attention. I also have a camera in the yard to keep an eye on them if I physically am unable to be out there the whole time.

A typical day
I get up and let the dogs into the backyard. Then its breakfast time! I will work during the morning, getting up to stretch, talk with the dogs, and play with them periodically. During lunch I typically go for a walk. Then I work some more. In the evenings we're pretty low key. I do chores around the house and the dogs usually follow me around while doing them. I will often stop to cuddle with them or play, especially if I find a toy somewhere I am cleaning. If the weather is good I'm often in my backyard doing yard work. The dogs are welcome to join me as long as I am not using dangerous power tools. Sometimes we will go on a coffee run and I get some coffee while the dogs get pup cups!
