Will work to spoil my dog

Pet care experience

I’ve been a dog lover ever since my mom rescued a poodle when I was 6 months old! I know they say poodles aren’t good for kids, but tell that to Patty- who was in every single one of my baby photos. I’m an avid animal lover and anyone who knows me, knows that. I foster dogs regularly and also volunteer at my local shelter. My routine revolves around my dogs but I’m also a bit of a hippy in that I let them be themselves- so free range fun is preferred (of course- when their within my ~5,000 sq ft yard that I may or may not have bought for my dogs)!

Sarah was so friendly and accommodating! My pup felt right at home so quickly!

As usual, Storm was in excellent care with Sarah. She is someone that we can always trust with our little guy. Our booking was spontaneous and last minute, and she was able to readily accommodate our scheduled pick up and drop off times. Thanks again Sarah!

Sarah did an amazing job with Hudson, he had a blast and came home happy and tired! Sarah was great at communicating and sending photos, and she was kind enough to let me extend Hudson's stay for a day. So grateful for her flexibility and for her kindness towards my pup!

I have nothing but good things to say about Sarah and how she took care of my puppy, princess Leah. Planning on using her quite often.

Safety, trust & environment

My entire property is secured - with either a fence or a wall. I have over 8K sq feet on a very busy street, the cons are the street so the requirement before moving in was to build a wall facing the street and reinforce the fences where necessary, the pros- besides the lot and one story home for my senior pups, I am directly across the street from a vet, an emergency animal hospital and a groomer!! I generally have fosters plus my own three small senior pups (one is a retired service dog). All are animal friendly but I also have crates and two separate fenced in outdoor dog runs - areas where dogs can be free to roam if they’re uneasy around others. Dogs are allowed indoors and outdoors unless I’m instructed otherwise. Although I do not leave dogs outside for an extended period of time and never unsupervised. Unless of course they’re sunbathing. If the dogs are out, so am I.

Information Sarah R. would like to know about your pet

My pets are part of the family- and they are free range. There is no part of the home that is “off limits and everything on my property is “pet friendly” - it’s secured and safe. Our dogs are allowed on the couches, they follow us everywhere and I use my dogs as my excuse why I hardly ever leave home. No, seriously. Please let me know of any dietary issues with your dogs, if you prefer they stay off furniture, if they take any medicine and lastly, if they are crate trained/potty pad trained. All of which are things I can accommodate although the hardest will be the furniture, but I’ll probably just sit on the floor with them ?

A typical day

We are free range here and for some reason or another, ALWAYS outside. I guess it’s because yard work NEVER ends and we can never get enough Vitamin D (or Sea). So if we’re not here, we are in the car taking a ride to the beach for a nice walk there (at the beach!) not much to see around this neck of the woods so a little drive for a change of scenery is always good. Sometimes that includes a drive thru Starbucks run, so please let know if pup cups are absolutely forbidden!
