Availability

Our family life is relatively calm and I enjoy being home as much as possible. My dogs are with me constantly when I'm not working and we allow them on the couch and bed. Honestly at this point I don't think I could fall asleep without a dog next to me! I work for a public school and have school holidays and summers off. My husband has an unusual work schedule which allows him to be home a lot of the time when I am at work, and my teenage boys are available for potty breaks and walks as well.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard that includes a small portion of the woods. We spend a lot of family time back there, with both shaded and sunny areas for the dogs to doze off, bark at squirrels, or run out their zoomies. We have a deck with a swing to sit and watch their antics. Our house is 2 floors, with the upstairs being gated off for the cats to have some personal space away from the dogs. At your home I will follow whatever instructions you have to make for a smooth visit. Let me know what would work best for taking care of your pets!

Information Sarah G. would like to know about your pet

I'm happy to accomodate any specials needs your pets may have, as long as you give me clear directions. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible, just as I would with my own pets.

A typical day

I love to go for walks with the dogs and play with toys, especially laser lights. But for sure just snuggling up and giving lots of attention is my favorite.

Pet care experience

I have had pets my whole life and I truly believe they are family. My husband and I have 3 children, 3 dogs, and 3 cats. We enjoy walking the dogs in our neighborhood by the lake, or just sitting in the yard enjoying a fire and making smores. We lost our first family dog, Willie, a few years ago to cancer. Although he can never be replaced, we found that the house was lonely and empty without him, and knew he would want us to help other dogs by giving them a happy home. We rescued our dog Marlin, and soon after that our dog Buck. We recently rescued a puppy we named Lucy, and because she is still adjusting we are not taking dogs at our home for a bit but i am available for drop ins. We enjoy dog sitting for friends of ours and would love to make your pet part of our family while you are away.

Sarah and Jim did great job taking care of my 3 dogs. They did house sitting and did exceptionally great job. The way they took care of the dogs was beyond my expectation. I will definetly reach out to them again before my next trip.

Sarah and Jim came to our rescue when our previously booked sitter cancelled shortly before our scheduled trip. We are so grateful for their flexibility and the care that they gave to our two senior girls. We returned home to very happy and relaxed puppers! We highly recommend their services!!
