Pet care experience

Can't wait to befriend your doggy!

I grew up with 2 cocker spaniels which are my ideal size (perfect for lap cuddles), but I don't discriminate much when it comes to loving any size dog! I'm an excellent communicator in finding out what your expectations are and getting to know your dogs' personality. Dogs like that I enjoy keeping them active, I love playing, walking, and of course snuggling. I have a huge heart for rescued pets. I bought my first house recently and made sure there was a fully fenced backyard so any dogs visiting could run and play freely! I am so excited to spend some time getting to know you and your doggy friend. *Please note: I am allergic to cats. I can do check ins for them but prefer not to stay overnight in a home with cats.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets are usually most comfortable in their own homes, so I try to keep their routine and environment as similar to your usual style as possible! If they are in my home, they will be welcome to enjoy my fully fenced in yard, a small home so I can keep a close eye on them, and I can easily cover furniture so they're welcome to snuggle next to me on the couch!

Jessica was so great with our 2 dogs! They really seemed to like her a lot. She was so flexible with her schedule and our flight times. The kids loved getting pictures of the dogs while we were away

Sarah was the absolute best--our pups loved her! She was attentive, asked great questions, and left our home spotless. We would be delighted to have Sarah watch them again!

Sarah has been amazing with our boys. Our older guy can be a handful and she managed to win him over. We’ve had Sarah sit for us twice already and are already planning to reserve her for more trips.

Sarah did a great job with our Cooper. We came home to a happy, well exercised pup and a clean house. No hesitation in having Sarah sit for us again.

I have more experience with smaller size dogs, but bigger breeds make great company! Any behaviors or health conditions are (of course) preferable to know ahead of booking. I have a few years of experience caring for senior dogs with extra needs, so I'm able to provide gentle and patient care for them!
