Hello! I have been watching family and friends' dogs and cats for years, and thought I should open up my little operation to new people. I'm excited to meet your fur babies! My name is Sarah S. I am a recent graduate student working from home. My fiance and I have two dogs of our own - an English Setter and an Australian Shepherd, both around a year old and VERY social with other dogs. My fiance works full time, so I will be the one at home with the pets full time. We have a large backyard so the pups can play outside to their heart's content! If your dog is an escape artist, I can provide a tether for the pooch to play outside. I was raised on a farm and have had pets my whole life. I learned responsibility early on caring for the many cats, dogs, sheep, cows, chickens, horses, and other animals I had growing up. I am an avid animal lover and treat them like furry little people. I am also flexible with my animal handling - if you prefer your dogs stay off furniture, I can make that happen! Otherwise, what's mine is theirs. As much as I love kitties, I am sadly unable to board cats as my fiance is allergic and I'm not sure how my dogs would be around them, but I can provide house visits for cats or other animals! If your dog needs a day of play, my home is open and my dogs are always excited about new playmates! I will also send photo updates, if you wish! Thanks for reading!
