Safety, trust & environment

I’ve had dogs in the family my whole life. We currently have three small dogs in our family now, adopted from rescues. I have experience with special needs dogs, dogs with behavior issues, young puppies, senior dogs, high energy dogs, puppy mill/rescue dogs and more. I also have quite a bit of experience caring for cats. I’m willing to be flexible to what works best for you and your furbaby! 🐾I know pet CPR in the very unlikely event of an emergency. 🐾While visiting your home for a drop in or walk, I make sure to closely follow the instructions you give me. The safety of your pet(s) and your home will always be my number one priority.

Information Sarah M. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know if your pet has any medical issues, behavior issues, aggression of any kind, or a special diet. Is your dog in training? Keeping up with training is the cornerstone of having a well behaved dog. I am willing to work with you and your pup to ensure training is kept up with. Knowing the above information ahead of time will help me be prepared and attentive to your pet’s needs.

A typical day

Does your dog like going for walks? Playing fetch? Maybe your dog likes to just chill on the couch and watch TV while getting a belly rub. I can accommodate all of the above! I’ll make sure your cats get plenty of playtime with their favorite toys, whether it’s chasing a wand, batting at a ball, or pouncing on a feather. I’ll also give them lots of attention, and belly rubs (if they approve!).

Pet care experience

Furkids are family! When your pup is in my care, I will treat them as my own. I know firsthand that being away from your pet(s) can be stressful for you and them. I am more than happy to send frequent updates/ pictures.
