Doggy Adventures and Loving Care

Pet care experience

I am a lifelong dog lover who works on a farm. I have cared for all animals, big and small, but dogs hold a special place in my heart! I work with two Great Pyrenees LGD on the farm and have my own fur baby, Missy, who is a friendly 45 # Catahoula mix who loves to come hiking, kayaking and basically do anything with my husband and I. We offer: *1/4 acre fenced lot: your dog will get to have the run of fenced our 1/4 acre lot with our playful Missy, who is guaranteed to get your tire your pup out! *Flexible pick up and drop off time *Active lifestyle, lots of daily exercise. Also happy to host couch potatoes :) *Loving home, your dog becomes part of the family *Positive reinforcement training. We use treats and praise to reward good behaviors and can reinforce skills you are working on. *Dog tag: I provide a temporary dog tag with my address and phone number while your fur baby stays in my home, just in case. *Depending on the temperament and hardiness of your dog, there is an option for your pup to come to work with me on a fully fenced 20 acre farm Because my husband and I have slightly different work schedules, the dogs are only home alone for 6-7 hours at most. In the evenings, we like to toss a ball in the yard, take the dogs to trot around the neighborhood, explore the nearby Salish Ponds or run at thousand Acres dog park. We STRONGLY prefer to do a meet and greet before hosting your dog. Requests with less than 46 hrs notice will only be accommodated by dogs we have previously hosted and met.

She had great communication and took really good care of our high energy dog. He had a great time playing with her dog Missy too! We were very pleased with our experience. Thank you Sarah and Andrew!

Our puppy Sherlock got to have his own vacation while we had our people vacation! Sarah gave Sherlock wonderful care! As well Sherlock was able to have a wonderful play companion with Missy. He was also fortunate enough to spend a few days on the farm hanging out with other furry friends!

Sarah did an excellent job with my pack of 3 pups. One of my dogs was recovering from a surgery and another has very high anxiety and she managed it all professionally and empathetically. She sent daily picture updates and was very responsive to text messages. Highly recommended if you have dogs with special needs.

Sarah has a wonderful space for an energetic young dog to run and play in safety. My pup Riley gets along famously with Missy and came home happy and ready for a nap. Sarah is thoughtful and very knowledgeable about animal care. I will use her again.

Information Sarah S. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog up to date on vaccines/flea prevention? Does your dog have any allergies? Does your dog need to be on a leash, even in off-leash areas? Does your dog have any fun tricks or commands? I am open to all breeds, sizes and ages.

A typical day

My favorite places to take dogs is Hogan Butte, Thousand Acres and Kelly Point Park. Dogs love playing at home in our fenced yard. Fetch and chasing games are always a riot.
