Loving Family in Edmonds, Home F-T!

Pet care experience

Hello, I'm Sarah! I cannot wait to spoil and pamper your dog. I am a freelance writer and stay-at-home mom to two dog-loving children. I grew up with family dogs and cannot remember a time when I didn’t have a canine best friend! For me, the combo of loyalty, soft fur, and puppy dog eyes are enough to do me in, and lucky dogs that stay with me, my son Will, and my daughter Eliza will be treated like a part of the family. They will receive a warm welcome, lots of attention, and of course plenty of playtime in our spacious yard and at the local parks! We even live near trails in the woods and a beachside dog park, and your dog will get plenty of love and fresh air! We do have one female cat (Jordan) who is cool with dogs that are cool with her. Mostly when your dog comes to stay, she hangs by herself under someone's bed! We also have a three-year-old lab mix, Nikki, who gets along great with other dogs - especially older ones. Home full time, I will be able to provide your dog with the care and attention he deserves while staying with me. Take a look at my photos to check out my home and fully fenced-in yard to see where your dog would be spending his doggy vacation. Our home is in a spacious, older neighborhood that is close to a beach and has plenty of safe places to walk. Our neighborhood is safe and quiet, with lots of open grassy areas. My yard is a great place to explore and have potty time and there is lots of grass for your pup to enjoy! Why I love dog sitting I don't remember not having a dog. Our first family black lab was named Prudy, and she lived to be thirteen years old. I remember coming home from school, sad about a friend or a teacher or otherwise upset, and just cuddling with Prudy on the floor, crying to her and whispering in her ear. She loved me so much, followed me everywhere. Whether a good day, so-so, or really bad, your dog is always there for you. About my yard My yard is fully fenced, grassy, and spacious. There is a deck just off of the dining room, and a cement patio as well. We have shade trees and plenty of space to play and have fun! My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering oral and topical medications, but at this time I prefer not to administer injections.

Max's stay with Sarah was awesome. He started out a little nervous but settled in nicely with the wonderful and loving care that was provided by Sarah and her family. It made it easier for me to be away knowing how well cared for he was. I would re-book with Sarah again and again and Max agrees!!

Sarah is great - Cedar (my dog) loves her. I never worry when he’s with her.

Information Sarah K. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know any information that will help me to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable place for your dog to stay. Tell me all about her likes and dislikes, her feeding schedule and preferences, and her daily schedule! Any info you think may be important, let's talk about it!

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks My family of origin took our dogs everywhere we could with us, including hiking, beach trips, mountain trips, etc. Once we even drove cross country with Prudy! I love water dogs and so I used to take our lab to the beach (Puget Sound) as often as possible. My dad has always had a sailboat, so our dogs came with us on those journeys, as well. My favorite thing is hiking and going to the beach, or just enjoying the trail by my house, and so I try to incorporate those activities into my visitor's stays! Our house is situated on block from a wonderful wooded city park called Yost Park. It has trails fro humans and their dogs, and it's where I use to take our dog and where I would take yours. There's a hill climb I also like to do for exercise in the neighborhood. I'd take your dog on that if he needed exercise, as well. We have a dog park at Marina Beach on the Sound if the dog likes socializing. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog will sleep in my home as a welcome houseguest. If your dog has a favorite toy or blanket, feel free to send it along. I want him to be as comfortable as possible! Time I'll spend with your dog I work from home, so I am available all day in terms of giving the dog attention and company. I rush out to the store, or to take my kids to school or practice, but that's about it, save for the occasional movie or dinner out!
