Pet care experience

I love dogs and have two Maltese. I have a fenced in dog run and love to go local parks like Sheepfold (weather permitting) or Revere beach. I live with my partner and we can accommodate several dogs at the same time. I work as a realtor, so I can schedule around their needs and have the ability to be with and walk my pets and pet visitors. I am conscious of dogs with different personalities and needs. I love to cuddle and do not mind having the dogs on the furniture. Any special requests with your dog, please let me know what you need. I love to take photos, give updates on how they are doing. Any questions? Let me know. Things that would be great to know: -Do your dogs have special needs or take medication? -Tell me a bit about your dog’s personality. -How does your dog do with other pups of size and personality? -Anything else you think is relevant! I take my own dogs out at least 3 times a day and try to get to the dog park or other adventures as often as possible. I am a realtor, so my schedule is flexible. I have two little Maltese monsters, Burger and Pancake. They basically live on the couch, so I don’t mind other pets joining us. Lots of walks and cuddles. :)

I truly debated whether or not to leave a review, but I have to. This was our first and last time leaving our pup with Sarah. She didn’t tell us that on top of watching her own dogs and ours, that she’d be having other dogs over that same weekend. In the 4 years our pup has been with us, I have NEVER seen her get sick. She came home with sniffles and sneezing at first, then it was a weird cough. We took her to the vet and she has KENNEL COUGH! She’s a husky! So she’s very talkative, but in the past few days she hasn’t talked, she’s only laid down and she can barely lift her head. I’m extremely disappointed and guilty to have left ou pup with her. When I picked up our pup from her house, I noticed the white sheet that goes over her crate smelled. It wasn’t until I got home that I noticed it was peed on all over, by other dogs and Sarah never told me. To make matters worse, we packed the perfect about of kibbles for our pup to be fed during the weekend she was there. Her bag came back half full, which means she wasn’t following the proper feeding instructions. When our dog got home she went straight for her food bowl and was starving, something she don’t usually do. Just be cautious who you leave your pets with. I’ll be much more careful in the future. I’m very sad and hoping my pup can recover quickly.

Sarah was great, and clearly very comfortable with all sorts of dogs. Would 100% recommend.

We’ve left our dog Oscar with Sarah a couple times now, and she’s been super responsive and accommodating, kept us updated, and Oscar always seems happy to see her and in a great mood when we pick him up!

Information Sarah R. would like to know about your pet

Any issues with potty training or being with other dogs? Do your dogs bark a lot? I live in a condo building, so we have to be respectful of the neighborhoods.

A typical day

Going for walks is a must. Playing and cuddling is also a must. I usually do a few shorter potty breaks and then a longer walk later in the day. Sometimes, depending on the doggy, we’ll go do showings or run errands together.
