Safety, trust & environment

I have a home with fenced in back yard in a quiet, Edison Park neighborhood. I have no pets at this time, so your dog will be the focus of my attention. My favorite daytime spot is my sunny back deck where our sweet girl once lounged and napped for hours. (To be fair, so did I). I walk several miles each day, and would enjoy a canine companion for my stroll.

Information Sarah P. would like to know about your pet

I have a soft spot for older dogs who need extra TLC. Let me know what special comforts your pet enjoys and I will try to accommodate them. Snuggles are guaranteed :)

A typical day

I am a daily walker and would love to take your pup for a stroll. I am not a big fan of dog parks, but will happily throw a ball or play tug o’ war in my backyard.

Pet care experience

I have owned dogs all my life. My kids are grown and our family pet passed two years ago. I am not ready for a new dog yet, but would love to care for yours in my home. I have no other pets and only take one dog at a time. I live in a quiet neighborhood on the northwest side. I have several regular local clients who use me every year, but I am looking for some additional referrals during vacation season.

Sarah took wonderful care of our dog, Scout, while we were away for the weekend. We appreciated all of the pictures Sarah sent throughout the weekend, they helped us to see how happy and relaxed Scout was during her stay. It was obvious that Sarah treated Scout like one of her own. We would gladly have Sarah watch Scout again, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.

Sarah was a wonderful host for our old girl. We received daily updates & photos and knew our pup was in wonderful hands. A true home away from home.
