Friendly dog friends & loving care!

Pet care experience

To see a day in your pet’s life staying with me, follow me on Instagram @SarahsStayNPlay Experience: Why Choose Me: - I am a very experienced full time professional Rover Sitter and have completed over 2,000 Rover requests for dogs and cats -Private petsitting insurance in addition to the Rover insurance -I have been a foster and volunteer for a dog rescue 3 years and have trained other people on dog care many times as the Volunteer Coordinator and as Adoption Event Manager. I and my home are approved to foster dogs and cats for 5 different local rescues so we are very safe. I have a lot of dog knowledge and can care for a variety of dogs and cats. I have experience with all ages, breeds, and sizes. I bring knowledge of dog and cat body language and the ability to reinforce good behavior and your previous training with your pets so they maintain their manners and lessons. I’ve won over shy and special needs cats and dogs many times, but I DO NOT accept AGGRESSIVE pets. My heart is in it 100% making sure your beloved pets are comfortable, safe, and having a good time and I have calming sprays/gels/treats, calming music, solo rooms if they get overwhelmed or need a quiet refuge, and other tools in my arsenal. I want a calm, happy stay with lots of play! I also fostered for a rabbit rescue because I really love working with animals. I know how care for pocket pets like hamsters, fish, and birds. Contact me and I’m happy to learn how to care for exotic pets! **For safety, I CANNOT accept AGGRESSIVE pets and will refer them to great local trainers/behaviorists. Safety for my family and the pets in my care is my first priority. If your dog shows aggression to other dogs they will be separated for the remainder of their stay and referred to a behaviorist/trainer and not accepted back to boarding until I speak with the trainer after service. If the dog shows aggression towards me or another human the booking will be cancelled and they will need to be picked up and taken home, I must be able to care for every dog by meeting their needs in a safe way. My Pets: I own 3 male dogs, Fox the small terrier mix, Chico my adopted American Bully, and Oakes my standard poodle puppy at 6 months old. I have trained them very well with manners and tricks so I can definitely follow your system and enforce training you are working on. My boys are patient and gentle and they love to play with dogs and people.

Safety, trust & environment

My Care: All dogs are crated for feedings and overnight 6-7 hours while we sleep for safety, but during the day we have dog beds in every room and they get a lot of home oriented free roam time. Many dogs like to cuddle up watching me cook or watch a movie with us cuddled on the couch. I have a safely fenced yard with grass and my 3 dogs love to play tug and chase with visitors.

Information Sarah W. would like to know about your pet

Their habits, special behavior or quirks, fears, likes, dislikes, and their routine. No breed/size preferences, but for safety I can't work with aggressive pets, if they get anxious with certain things please tell me ahead of time so I can make them more comfortable. I have experience with 4lbs-130lbs dogs

A typical day

A typical day: We do lots of bonding and enrichment like our small "dog pool" in the backyard in the summer, lots of toys, and "Find It," the snack searching game. We have food puzzles, lick mats, snuggle mats, and flirt poles too. It's a dog vacation here!

Availability

Schedule: I do have my own animals (and foster kittens) so for full day services and housesitting I will need to leave occasionally to pop home and feed/walk my personal pets and DO NOT offer 24hr care. I am available for boarding drop offs and pick up 7am-10pm daily, by appointment only. I am a full time professional petsitter and available 7 days a week. Your pet will get multiple outside play times, lots of cuddles and attention inside the house, and they will only sleep inside in the air conditioning and heated house with me.
