Trusty TailWagging TLC Dog Sitting

I love dogs and they’ve always been an integral part of my life and household. I have two sweet, good natured dogs, a Pomeranian and a Golden Retriever/Husky Mix. We'd love to be your dog's favorite home away from home. We are best suited for easy-going, socialized dogs with moderate to low energy & activity levels. Unfortunately, I can’t watch dogs that are really rambunctious/high-energy, if they have a history of aggression (of any kind), severe separation anxiety, or excessive barkers as they are generally not a good fit for my sociable and more mellow doggie groups. We love the company of playful, social, and well behaved (mostly!) guests, and we’d be happy to spend quality time with your four-legged best friend so they have the very best experience while you are away. Drop-offs and pick-ups are generally between 7:30am - 7:30pm. Please provide specific drop-off and pick-up times in your request so I can confirm availability and send you boarding information and instructions. A copy of your dog’s current vaccines is required in advance (email address provided upon confirmed booking). I am conveniently located in the Roseway neighborhood, near the intersection @ NE 72nd Ave, Fremont and Sandy Blvd by the Safeway), with very easy access to the Portland Airport, I-205, and I-84. I care for dogs like my own, and I am reliable, responsible, and trustworthy. Thanks so much for your interest, and please let me know if you have any questions!

We’ve never left our dog this long before, and Sarah made me feel like there was nothing to worry about! She was kind, communicative, honest and offered a surety and confidence that eased both of our minds. I cannot express how happy I am to have found her. And our dog came home, happy, healthy and relaxed ☺️

Sarah took great care of our pups and treated them like her own! They made some dog friends while there, and came home very happy!

We boarded our puppy with Sarah over a long weekend on fairly short notice. Sarah was flexible in supporting our needs, very professional and communicative, and we felt 100% safe with our dog in her care. We would absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone looking for giving their pet a wonderful home and/or caretaker, and would certainly book again. Thanks, Sarah!

Sarah was a wonderful sitter! She not only provided me regular updates and is a great communicator, but she instantly connected with my (somewhat picky) dog. I felt immediately comfortable with her, and she did a great job watching him.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a cozy and secure home in NE PDX, with a fully fenced backyard. Dogs are never left unattended in the backyard, always fed separately, and there are comfy dog beds for resting and napping. AC is available for the hot summer days, and there is a large covered outdoor space that is dry from the rain. PLEASE READ: I am very particular about security and have implemented two house rules: 1. Owners are not allowed inside my house. Please do not knock at the front door as it makes the dogs crazy excited. Plan to text me when you arrive to drop off or pick up your dog and I will meet you outside at my driveway gate. This way my dogs, and any guest dogs, will be safe and secure indoors. 2. For the safety and security of all dogs, we do NOT go out on walks or visit dog parks, as my ultimate responsibility is to ensure your dog is safe and pre-assess the behaviors of other dogs they will be around. There is no risk of running into a loose or stray dog/cat, slipping out of collars, or leash aggression, and there is plenty going on at my house to keep dogs happy, exercised, and entertained.

Pets

A typical day

Dogs can explore the backyard, socialize with new doggie friends, nap and lounge. There are regular outdoor potty breaks and playtime. We keep to an easy-to-follow, comfortable, daily routine. Dogs enjoy the happy, peaceful, and casual atmosphere, and it’s conducive to a fun and stress-free stay while their family is away or at work.
