Every Dog will Feel at Home!!!
Let our home be their home away from home!!! Dog lover since my 1st puppy at 3yo and now passing that down to my 2 boys that love to help me care for our dogs and the ones that come to stay with us. I pet sat for neighbors, family, and friends growing up and still do to this day. My 1st real job was taking care of the animals being boarded at a vet clinic when I was 14yo. I joke and say my first job was a professional pooper scooper. Here I would feed and medicate dogs as needed. Other aspects of the job included dog walking, cleaning kennels and runs, loving on them and playing. I have fostered for extended periods of time for people to help with different circumstances until they could take their dogs back. This helped to save these dogs from having to be rehomed. I will help keep pets with good families in any way that I can. I have also had experience in dogs with special needs. I cared for my own dog, Bubba, with Megaesophagus from 8wks old until he passed at 8yo due to complications of his illness. His care included preparing his food in a blender and special feeding accomodations in a Bailey's chair daily, numerous medications, nebulizer treatments, injections, and standing upright after drinking and special maneuvers to help keep his lungs clear whenever he would aspirate. Adjusted many aspects of my life and my dog's for him to thrive and live as long as he did. My current fur babies are Chaos (Lab /Mastiff), Mayhem (Bully/Pit) and Pippa (Beagle/Bassett). I love all dogs as if they were my own. I have cared for and owned dogs of various breeds and sizes. I rescued a highly anxious and fearful dog when she was 2yo so I have experience with patience and building trust. Walking, feeding, play, medication administration can all be done. Let me know any special thing that your dog needs and I will take care of it as long as I'm able and if I'm not I will be straight forward with you. I will strive to send you at least 1 update and picture daily while in my care unless you would like more.

Ratings and reviews
my dog came back with a scratch and some redness on her belly that I took pictures of. Her stomach looks smaller like if she hadn't eaten in a couple days and usually her poop is a lot she barely pooped and she didn't want to eat her food that's how I know she hadn't been eating her food in the last couple of days but she gave me back her food less that means her other dogs haven't been eating her food probably. Which I think is odd because she told me my dog ate a full bowl of food but I know her and I didn't believe that anyway because I know she's a picky eater and also she only eats inside her cage . I appreciate her watching the dog but the care aspect was a little less than I expected.
Sarah was great with our pup! She was available on short notice and helped us out of a jam when another sitter cancelled on us. She communicated with us frequently which made it easier for us while we were away. She treated our pup like her own. We will definitely use Sarah again in the future.
Sarah is always good to our boys. We know they’re well taken care of with her and they always come back wiped out from all the fun.
Chief always loves staying with Sarah! She is super kind, flexible to schedule with, and always makes sure he is taken care of!
Sarah and her family are absolutely great with Grace. We know that she's safe and happy hanging out with her kids while we're away. Would definitely recommend!
Sarah is always great with our boys. We’re very lucky to have her nearby.

Schedule
I work from home so I'm always available days, nights and weekends if your pup is staying at my home. My schedule is very flexible. Willing to do walks no matter what the weather may be. If you need me to come to your house I am available throughout the day. I can be available with notice and if you don't mind my one son tagging along with me if you need help outside my home in the evenings. I too have experience with many other animals as pets (we referred to my house as "The Zoo" growing up) or sitting for family and friends when on vacation. I have experience with cats, mice, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, small lizards, frogs, turtles, snakes, and birds. Sorry I will not help with your pet tarantula.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our home has a 6ft fenced backyard with locks always on the gates. Also a good size neighborhood to take your pooch on walks. My 2 young boys also love to help with caring for our own pups with my help, don't worry they won't be the ones walking your dog. If I am coming into your home I will respect your property and privacy. Your house your rules! I have experience with giving medications, shots, and nebulizer treatments as well as wound care for dogs. Any special considerations/needs for your furry family member I am happy to follow.

A typical day
They will get plenty of love and belly rubs. Have a large neighborhood to walk them through as well as a local trail we love to explore. Also able to play with them without a leash on in my fenced in backyard. I allow and welcome dogs to be dogs.
