Dog obsessed and proud of it!

Pet care experience

I have over 15 years of experience caring for puppies and adult/senior dogs from 2 lbs to >130 lbs! From Yorkies to Saint Bernards, I have worked with quite a variety of dogs! I have no breed, age or size preference. I have done in-home overnight stays for up to 2 weeks at a time and have also done drop in visits for walks/potty breaks/feedings. I only do house sitting at this time, not boarding. I work first shift full time M-F so I cannot do "lunch break" drop ins. I am very active so I love going for walks and runs or just playing with dogs and their favorite toys. Of course I'm a huge fan of relaxing on the couch after a long day as well, just like older dogs! I also have experience sitting for cats, birds, chinchillas, hamsters, turtles and guinea pigs. I have experience providing oral medications (liquid and pills). Thank you for considering me!

Sarah was wonderful with our 3 dogs! She sent updates and photos during her stay. Doggos looked happy with her.

Sarah was fantastic!! She was great to work with in every way and also handled a few unexpected challenges dealt by the weather. She was always upbeat, caring, and willing to go the extra mile. Highly recommend and would love to have her back. Couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for our dog and home. Would definitely love to have Sarah again!

Sarah did a great job with our pups, they loved receiving lots of petting! We would happily hire her again.

I like to keep the pets on as close to a schedule as they are used to as possible to decrease any potential stress of their owner being away. Have a favorite park? Let me know and I'll take them there!
