Highlights
Pet care experience
Hearth & Paw
Hi Friend! I'm Sarah, and my husband is James. I've been a dog owner for the last 20 years, have lived with at least one dog for the last 30 years, and for my whole life, have always gotten excited when I given the privilege to meet a new animal! I've cared for puppies, as well as seniors, from tiny breeds to extra large breeds. I also have experience with cats! (more information in 'cat care details'. My current pup is a 4 year old Chiweenie named Laszlo, who I've raised from 10 weeks old. I also have some experience in basic grooming and offer that service as well (nail grinding, bath & brush, ear cleaning and breath freshening)! Your furry best friend is in good hands! If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out to me. I am currently looking for FIVE to SEVEN pups to walk on a regular weekly basis; I am adaptable to accommodate you and your pet to provide the most comfort for all. I hope to hear from you soon, buddy!

Ratings and reviews
Sarah M. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Sara was extremely patient and kind with my 16yo dog while I was out. Ive used her services multiple times as my girl got older and watching her became trickier each time. Super communicative and invested in your pets wellbeing.
Sarah M. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Sarah watched my senior dog. All went well. I have booked her a second time already Recommend
Booked with Sarah again while out of town. Koda is almost 16 and requiring more patience to watch each time. I feel secure leaving my old girl with Sara. Super grateful
Sara watched koda at my home while out of town. She was super communicative and sent cute pics. Grateful to have someone to take care of my old girl and house while away.

Schedule
As mentioned, I do have a part time job, but my shifts are no longer than 6 hours long, usually around 5 hours. I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving them alone any longer! If you're an existing member of our pack, and you don't see the dates you need open on my calendar, just reach out and I may be available! (the calendar on my profile reflects availability for new clients only.)
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet will have an endless supply of water, lots of time to get their energy out, and will receive plenty of love! Your pet's safety is my mission! We love taking little field trips, with permission from you, of course. We would never subject your loved ones to an unsafe environment.
Pets
A typical day
I treat Walks and Drop-ins similarly; the only difference being for a walk booking, your pup will get a walk and with the drop-in your pup will be let out into the yard to run around for a bit (when applicable), and a water refresh/feeding (when needed), and of course the kitties will be fed, litter box cleaned, and some playtime! With Boardings, James and I are home most of the day, but may leave the home for a few hours at a time for a short work shift or errands. We are a crate-free home, as we like to take the B&B approach to this particular type of booking, but if you feel better about crating while we are out of the home, we could do so. We also would never leave the apartment unattended for more than 6 hours. We love to take our pups on field trips to the dog park, to get pup cups, and the occasional weekend hike, usually to a waterfall, no more than a few miles round-trip, always staying hydrated! House-sittings includes me staying in your home overnight and two 30 minute drop ins: one around noon, and one at dinnertime. Also included is a midday and morning/evening walk. Overnight times will be between 8 & 9 in the evening until between 6 & 7 AM. I am also more than happy to take them on little adventures like the ones included in my boarding description above! Note, if you would need me to be in the home most of/ all of the day, I do charge a 100% premium. I will never leave your babies alone for more than 6 hours at a time, AT MOST!
