Sarai was incredibly kind and caring with our dog. She kept us updated throughout the entire stay and regularly sent us photos of how our pet was doing. Her home is beautiful and has a large fenced yard where our dog was very happy, could soak up the sun, and run around freely. We will definitely be booking with Sarai again in the future!

First off, Sarai is awesome to work with. She's genuine and clearly a dog lover. Our dog doesn't like just anyone. She's very timid with new people for sure, especially men. Yet she settled in with Sarai and her husband really quickly! We definitely plan to book with Sarai again soon and we have peace knowing our girl will be excited when we arrive at their house. Thank you, Sarai!

Schedule

Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, ensuring each pet receives the attention, care, and love they deserve. Every day starts with feeding, fresh water, and plenty of exercise, such as walks, playtime, or outdoor exploration. Throughout the day, I schedule interactive activities, monitor their health, and provide any necessary training or medications. Evenings are dedicated to calming routines, like cuddles and quiet time, to help pets feel secure. My weekly schedule also includes cleaning, restocking supplies, and staying in touch with pet owners to provide updates and ensure their peace of mind.

Safety, trust & environment

When providing boarding services in my home, I create a safe, clean, and welcoming environment tailored to each pet's needs. I ensure they have a designated cozy space for rest, along with access to plenty of fresh water, nutritious meals, and regular exercise. I maintain a structured routine that includes walks, playtime, and quiet time to help pets feel comfortable and secure.

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I watch is filled with fun, care, and love. We start the morning with a refreshing walk or outdoor playtime, allowing them to stretch their legs and burn off energy. In the afternoon, we might enjoy a second walk, explore the yard, or have a cozy indoor cuddle session for rest and relaxation. If the weather permits, we’ll spend more time outside, soaking up the sunshine or playing with their favorite toys. Evenings are dedicated to winding down with gentle petting, quiet time, and a calming routine to prepare them for a restful night. Each day is tailored to the pet’s personality and preferences, ensuring they’re happy, engaged, and loved throughout their stay.

It’s important to know key details about each pet ahead of time to provide the best care possible. This includes their daily routine, feeding schedule, and dietary restrictions or preferences. I also need to know about any medical conditions, medications, or special needs, including allergies or mobility issues. Understanding their temperament, likes, dislikes, and triggers—such as fear of loud noises or separation anxiety—helps me create a stress-free environment. Additionally, information about their social behavior with other pets and people is crucial to ensure their safety and comfort. The more I know, the better I can tailor my care to meet their unique needs!
