Pet care experience

Lots of loving care for all breeds!

I am a dog LOVER and ADVOCATE. I have worked at an animal rescue and have done research/training with pet care for years, as well as, owning dogs and cats most of my life. I have seen so many smiling and loving furbabies of all kinds of breeds and will not discriminate against any. My heart is huge and I have gained much experience with all types of unwanted rescues who dealt with anxiety, aggression, and fear. I aim to create an environment of calm and structure to establish safety and trust. Then, I give LOTS of love and care. Basically, I can handle difficult pets with behavioral issues due to my background with the rescue shelter and with having rescues of all types of behaviors from their own backgrounds. I have rehabilitated and trained many animals with all kinds of needs. Everything is CUSTOMIZABLE to what your dog needs. If the dog is used to a crate or whole room. I like having a relaxing environment for the pups and lots of opportunities to play or sleep if that is their nature and needs. MY HOUSE: Consists of a dining room/living room, four bedrooms, and a fenced back yard. Our garage is being converted into a fifth room where my office will be and so will all the pups get to hang out with me that has direct access to the backyard. MY DOG: The dog I have is currently described as very happy. She is an active 12 yo pup and senior so she’s pretty mellow with some play. I facilitate calmness and boundaries. I have created an environment where she feels safe and loved.

Sarah was extremely attentive and excellent with my dogs. She communicated thoroughly and impressively quickly, helping me navigate the process for the first time, and my dogs were clearly chuffed under her tutelage. Will absolutely be reaching back out to Sarah for any future needs. Highly recommended.

Sarah is extremely responsive and has a beautiful spacious home and backyard! Plenty pictures were provided and we can see our pup enjoying himself. We will be leaving our doggy with Sarah again.

Schedule

I work a freelance job remote flex schedule, so I can schedule time into my day pretty easily. Flexibility is helpful but I love being accomodating when making sure we get scheduled in for every pet walk or visit.

Safety, trust & environment

I like to keep to the routine of the pet as much as possible. The more I can alleviate his or her anxiety in a new environment, the better. Whatever the dog needs, I want to be conscious of it.

Pets

A typical day

Playing catch (usually whatever dog's play preference), throwing squeaky toys (under supervision and approved), roaming in a fenced yard, attention, and belly rubs. They love going outside. During Florida summer, they often quickly come back inside, except for one who likes to sunbathe.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Sarah can host up to 3 pets per night
No breed preferences, just in love with all animals. I want to make sure that every pet's needs and routine are met to alleviate any separation anxiety from their parents and that they feel loved.
