Safety, trust & environment

I always establish trust with the pet first, they need to feel comfortable first and for most. And I make sure that the pet is on the leash prior to leaving and or starting a walk. If I am boarding I have a fenced in back yard along with a very loving French Chow to keep your pet company. If need be she can always spend time elsewhere in the home if you are not comfortable with you’re pet being around another pet.

Information Sarah V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if the pet has any special needs or restrictions. Jumping on and off furniture, if they’re allowed on furniture or on the bed. Medications, anxieties or triggers. I’m always willing to make the pet as comfortable as possible!

A typical day

I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of toys to throw around. There is also a dog park close to my home if the pet parent would like their pup to have interactions with other dogs. I’m also up for just tiring out the pups with a good long walk. I’m an outdoor girl so however I can tire out a pup is a challenge accepted!

Pets

Putting pets needs first, always!

Pet care experience

My goals is always to give the pet the best care possible. I have taken care of pets that have special needs such as assisting with walking with a harness, medication administration, as much TLC as they need. I am an absolute animal lover and my goal is to achieve trust, with the pet parent and the pet. Also, to provide the best care as though they were my own.
