*** We just adopted a new puppy on 1/27/24. He is not done with his shots yet so we will not be watching any dogs until begin of April 2024*** My name is Sarah, and I've had the joy of being a proud mom to two Yorkies for the past 15 years. Sadly, Maggie passed away in 2020, and Riley followed in 2023. They meant the world to my husband and me, and their absence is deeply felt. One of our Yorkies had epilepsy, requiring medication twice a day and constant monitoring throughout her life. This experience has given me expertise in administering medications and handling health issues. Fortunately, I work from home most days, and my husband is also at home full-time, ensuring that your pet won't be alone for long. My lifelong love for animals includes growing up with big dogs like German Shepherds and an Akita. I relish spending time outdoors, going for walks, and even have a handy dog carriage for those who prefer a ride. Our backyard is enclosed, complete with a dedicated grassy area we planted for our dogs, eliminating the need for nighttime walks. We live in a charming, safe neighborhood, and I will care for your dog as if it were my own. When I book a stay or walk, your pet will be my top priority. If your dog enjoys sharing a bed, they're welcome to stay in ours. They are allowed on the couch as well. My husband is equally passionate about dogs and will shower them with affection. I understand the stress of leaving your furry family members while traveling, and I'm committed to being a trustworthy caregiver, just as others have been for me. To ensure the highest level of care, I'll only take in one family's pet(s) at a time. **Before we proceed, I'd like to meet and greet your dog and confirm that they are up-to-date on their vaccinations. We do live in a condo complex and work from home which involves a lot of phone calls. So unfortunately if you dog is a big barker it will not work as we can have a dog barking a lot while we are working. PLEASE be honest about your dog’s potty habits. If they use potty pads let us know ahead of time. If they are really good with staying on them and not going on everything that looks like one, we can be open to watching them. We know accidents happen however there is a difference between that and a dog that regularly goes in the house. We keep a clean house and our dogs were trained to go outside**
