Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
We are of a mature age and have had over twenty-six pet sits in people's home without any instances. We use a checklist when interviewing, which includes safety features in a home (water shut-off, fire-extinquishers, etc) and a check out list when leaving a property.
Information Sarah & Matthew T. would like to know about your pet
We love to find out their character traits and what they do when out walking and approaching other people, children, or dogs. We are open to taking to dog parks and walking in parks, so we like to learn about their car traveling attitude. Are there any medications, supplements, or other requirements are needed for the health of their pets. What are the pets favorite toys? Where do they enjoy sleeping?
A typical day
We have energy and enjoy the outdoors and we will walk and play games in the yard, park, or home. (if allowed!) We love to play fetch, chase, and hide-the-treat so they can hunt and utilize their natural instincts. If there is a lake or trail nearby, we are sure to go if the dogs character allows. Dog parks are fun if the owners allow them to go for socializing.

Pet care experience
My partner Matt and I sit together and separately because we have the pleasure of helping our friends or family when needed for pet or family care. We've cared for young and old dogs, and those that need multiple medicines, including shots. The largest dog we sat for was a Great Dane and he was so much fun to play with on the beach. Ever since I read "Caesar's Way", (the dog whisperer in America), I have been able to calm dogs more easily and in two days I was able to train the dog to walk next to me, not in front and pulling. Within four days one dog was deterred from barking at the post and delivery drivers. We love to play games with cats and dogs so they receive natural exercise. It is so much fun playing hide & seek, or hide-the-treats to bring out their hunting skills. We both love to walk in nature and the city, especially when there are fun backgrounds for dog photos that we can send to the owners. As an avid gardener, I respect and love to weed, deadhead, water, and harvest what grows in gardens. I know what it feels like to come home from holiday to see some plants withering in the sunlight, and I don’t want that to happen to you. We hope to come and share time with your loved ones while you go explore the world and relax knowing that your family and home is cared for and loved unconditionally by us.

Reviews

Matt and Sarah were amazing with Olive! They sent pictures and videos of their walks or playing during our trip for my girls to see. Communication was great and they left the house spotless, with a plate of cookies to welcome us home. I would definitely have them back to watch Olive in the future.


Sarah was great! She took great care of my pets AND my house too! She went above and beyond!
Sarah was great with our Holly while we were on vacation. We came home to a happy pup and a clean house. Sarah was also very good about sending pictures and videos. We would be very comfortable leaving Holly in Sarah's competent and kind hands again. Thank you Sarah!

Sarah was a great house sitter. Our Ozzie , who is usually very anxious and won't eat much if we are gone was well adjusted and happy when we returned. She sent regualer updates, took us to and from the airport, and went above and beyond with home care, leaving it better than when we left. We would definitely recommend her and ask her to stay next time. Thank you Sarah!
