Pet loving family on urban farm!
Pet care experience
I live on a centrally located (8 mins from the airport) sustainable urban farm with a large backyard. My retired parents live with me and we all care for the dogs so they are never alone. I have been watching dogs on Rover, for a few years now, it is my favorite side hustle because dogs and animals are a deep passion of mine. I specialize in long term stays and repeat visits because we really try to be a second home for dogs, we also provide discounts for these types of stays. I also try to keep the vibe of a dog park, with all the dogs playing together in the backyard, so I generally only try to book dogs who can hang out with other dogs. I work to develop a relationship with the dogs who stay with us and go to great lengths to make them feel at home, whether that is buying wet food & treats to put on top so that they eat their food or letting them stay in my office & bedroom with me because they are nervous. I understand dogs are people's children and I treat them as such. I have experience taking care of dogs with trauma and separation anxiety, I understand the difficulties of having a dog who is scared to be alone. I miss having a dog at home now and would be honored to be able to love and take care of your dog. A lil bit about me, I have a PhD in Sustainability, I am working to make my house completely sustainable and closed loop, I do environmental consulting & nonprofit work. I love animals and plants, I have 2 axolotls, a chuckwalla lizard, chickens and 3 fish tanks and my house is a jungle.
Reviews
Duke had an amazing stay with Sarra, I got regular messages and videos .Sarra was very attentive to his needs and made him feel very at home , I would highly recommend this as your pups Pheonix home away from home.
Sarra was amazing with our dogs. Are dogs were clearly happy and got lots play time. Sarra was communicative, friendly, and made everything very easy for us.
Our pups had such a great time when we needed to leave them in good hands for a few days while out of town. We will definitely be back with them again when we are out of town and need them to be well taken care of!
Left my little fluff with Sarra and her family for two nights and he had an absolutely blast! They are such amazing animal lovers and keep everything nice and clean! They went above and behind! 10 stars!!

I have a huge fenced backyard for them to play in and your dogs will always have someone at the house to watch them between me and my parents.
Home
Information Sarra T. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know energy levels, their heat sensitivity, their needs, and preferences and whether they have any anxiety or other issues. I also need to know if they can be around other dogs.
A typical day
In the morning my parents will take the dogs for long walks to downtown or the park by my house. I have a huge fenced yard they can play in that is separate from the chicken & farm area. Inside my house the dogs either sleep in the dog room we have set up or in my bedroom if they are more anxious. I keep small dogs in a separate area from the big dogs. When cats stay with me I have a whole separate area for them away from the dogs.
