Doggy Day Care in New Goshen

About: Hello! My name is Sarah Zarlenga. I am an absolute animal person. I couldn't imagine life without a dog or other animal companion by my side. We tend to have an immediate understanding and bond that is indescribable with words alone. That being said, I actually have 5 canine friends of my own. I have a senior, male Siberian Husky named Chaos, a Doberman mix named Alrik, a female German Shepherd named Rose, a male German Shepherd named Arthur, & a Papillon/Rat Terrier named Little Guy. I have also cared for over 60 large, hound breed dogs at once on a daily basis for a dog rescue in Texas for 2 years, and I volunteered and worked for another dog and horse rescue with several breeds including huskies and pit bulls for over 3 years. I also helped care for the rescued horses, cats, & chickens, so I have experience with their care as well. Furthermore, I helped out at an Aussie breeder for about a year. I have also learned service dog training techniques, and am well versed in basic obedience training from the time I had my first Chocolate Lab puppy at age 7. I would be happy to lend a caring and helping hand to you and your animals when the need arises. I only wish to treat you and your animals as if I were an extended family member to ensure a proper fit for premium care for all involved! Feel free to send me a message if you'd like to get to know me further, and hopefully plan a care visit. Thank you for stopping by to become acquainted! Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs ever since I can remember. We had a few dogs when I was a small child, but the one we had the longest (from 2 months old till the end of her life at 13 years) was a super sweet & intelligent Chocolate Lab whom we called Angel. Her and I grew up together. I would take her on walks and play with her all of the time. Later on, I lived with my dad and he got us a puppy who grew to become a 125 lb Belgian Shepherd named Buddy, so I would take him for walks and to play at the dog park. Now, I have 5 dogs of my own who I consider to be my fuzzy children. I love spending time playing with them in the yard, taking them for walks or bike rides, taking them to the dog park, and grooming & caring for them. I also give them nutritious treats (like vegetables) which they absolutely love! They are spoiled with all of my love and affection. All of the amazing experiences with dogs & other animals in my life have inspired me to work closely with them on a daily basis in order to cultivate a healthy and renewed symbiotic relationship between animals and humans that can grow stronger in each new generation. My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering medication in the form of pills. I also have a little experience administering shots. I am currently a stay-at-home-mom caring for my 3 year old daughter & newborn son. We take daily walks with our dogs. The kids and I would be able to take your dog for a walk using a stroller if needed. I treat the animals I care for with respect, and I am always paying close attention to their signals. I will make sure the environment I walk them in is safe and will always pay close attention to our surroundings to ensure a pleasant walk.

“Rex had a great day with Anna and her dog and cat. Rover has been a great resource while we were traveling. Anna watched our dog while my son took a college tour and it was great not having to worry about him!”

About: I've grown up taking care of dogs/puppies, cats, kittens, baby deer grown deer, elk, Buffalo, and horses. (We have a farm;) they're a part of my world and they make my life more beautiful. Wouldn't imagine life without them or my kiddos! I have two dogs and a cat and I have been the cat and dog sitter for a few of my friends for years now. I know the stress of having to find good care for my dogs and I don't take it lightly when I'm asked to care for other people's pets. Pets get used to us being around and can get stressed when we're not with them. I get this and want to ease their stress so your stress is eased too. I've got a flexible schedule to do the job! I can come by for a short visit or a longer one to hang with your animals so they're not alone all day. On occasion and with the right fit, I can also have a dog or two in my home for longer periods.

About: I have worked with a variety of dogs of all breeds. I've worked as a trainer, I've worked with families on dog introductions to the family, getting dogs used to other dogs to release tension. Dogs are either friends or family so I believe you treat then as such. Love is all they need to get them to the best friend and dog they can be. We believe in positive reinforcements. Although I'm 25 I received my first dog on my 5th birthday. She was a rescue pitbull she was the best dog ever. Then later adopted a Rottweiler when I was 13. Both dogs bonded immediately and became best friends as well as being my best friends. I will make sure to treat your dog as my best friends as well showering them with love.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and animals since I was 8. Typically I can work with/get along with any breed, I can do anything needed! Many of my neighbors and family members have relied on me to take care of their pets! I just got home for the summer so I have a lot of free time! That makes for plenty of time to care for and spend time with your animals! I am a very pet friendly person, I love getting to meet new animals! I will make sure to spend plenty of time with your pet to create a trustworthy bond! I plan to offer walking, as well as any type of client home care!
