Walks, cuddles and wags 🥰
Pet care experience
We've taken care of young and old dogs that need training help or even medical help (meds, supplements, and insulin injection). We both grew up with dogs and absolutely love having them around. We have done quite a bit of dog sitting in both our home and in other homes and we enjoy hanging out with both cats and dogs. We also have a huge soft spot for guinea pigs 🥰 Birds, fish and geckos are also something we have a bit of experience caring for. I (Sarah) work from home and my husband (Karl) has pretty flexible hours, so we are both able to be around the pups quite often. We make plenty of time to take walks, snuggle and get in play breaks. I am also flexible enough to move my work location if an in-home sitter is needed. We generally prefer to house sit as we've noticed pups tend to be more comfy and at ease in their own space. My husband and I definitely have space in our hearts and home for fluffy visitors. Our apartment building is very dog friendly with lots of fuzzy neighbors. We live 15 minutes (walking) from the beach so we love walks and go for walks regularly. We have a big living room area with plenty of space for fetch and play.
Reviews
Sarah made us feel so confident that our Rosie was in great hands! She would send us pics and updates and I could tell my dog was feeling comfortable. So grateful for good people!
Sarah and Karl are the best!!!!! The daily pictures and updates provide so much peace of mind. They take such good care of Ellie and make her feel so loved.
Sarah and Karl were amazing! First time alone with Peet; they immediately bonded. Loved the daily pics. More so, it was fabulous coming home to a happy dog and a house that was clean and tidy!!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Sarah and Karl and how they cared for Ellie while I was out of town for 4 days. They were patient with Ellie being timid for the first day and with her disdain for the rain, they sent updates and pictures and made Ellie feel very loved. I’m so grateful for the peace I felt while they watched Ellie and I’ll definitely be reaching out again next time!

We do not use dog parks unless directly requested by the owner. This is to avoid any fights and also sicknesses going around. We are also very careful on walks and generally avoid interacting with other pups in case of reactivity. If you have specific preferences or want your pup to have more interactions, let us know! In our home, we don't feed pups any people food. They will be fed only what you provide for them. If they have allergies do let us know so we can be extra vigilant in keeping those things away from them. In your home, we are careful to keep things clean and strive to leave it just as you left it. We want you to feel as comfortable as possible with us being in your space so please let us know if you have any specific preferences for shoes, food, trash, etc..

Information Sarah & Karl J. would like to know about your pet
- We would love to know any relevant medical information and food preferences so we can keep your pup (or kitty) as safe and healthy as possible. - Let us know if your pet is a fan of taking car rides! We love to go on hiking adventures and with a proper seatbelt/harness, your pup can come too (with your approval of course!). - Please also give us a heads-up about your pet's temperament so we know how it might act around new people and other animals (lots of friendly dogs in our building!). - If your pet has behavior issues (chewing things, peeing in the house etc..) please give us a heads up so we can pet-proof our home appropriately.
A typical day
We will take walks around the neighborhood, to the beach, and down to the marina. Our living space has plenty of room for playing with toys and playing fetch. Cuddles and ear-rubs are always a priority in our schedule!

Availability
I (Sarah) work from home and my husband (Karl) has pretty flexible hours, so we are both able to be around the pups quite often. We make plenty of time to take walks, snuggle and get in play breaks. Schedule: We generally wake up around 7 or 8am for walks and food. Early afternoon walk and playtime. 5 or 6pm dinner for pups and a 7/8pm walk. Pee breaks in between if needed. Our schedules are flexible so let us know if your dog has specific timing or routines and we can generally work around that 😊 Leave time: We generally have church on Sundays and some overlapping workout times throughout the week where we both will be away for 2.5-4.5 hours. Please do let us know if your pup will need special accommodations or if it may have issues with being left alone. We are sometimes able to move our schedules around to minimize unnecessary stress to the pups 😊
