About: I am an active law student that absolutely loves dogs! I grew up with dogs (after begging for years to get one), and now I have a 2-year old Weimaraner named Dodge who loves to run around and go to the dog park to play with his friends! We love going on hikes together and going on adventures (even if it is just a car ride), but even on days that we are lazy and lounge around, there are plenty of cuddles, kisses, and treats to go around! Dodge and I have also hosted a number of dogs of all sizes at my apartment when friends have gone out of town, so we know just what to expect and to make sure that your four-legged family member is safe, comfortable, and has a great time! Even though we live in an apartment, we make sure to get enough exercise every day either at the 1-acre dog park (which is within walking distance) or on the several miles of trail walks surrounding our complex. I am very responsible and would love to help watch your pet! Schedule: I am currently remote, but in the case I am in-person, I have a camera to check in on Dodge and any dogs that are visiting! We also go to the dog park daily where there are several regular visitors that are all friendly. We also go on several walks in the morning, afternoon, and evening besides the park! On nice days, we also love going to Jordan Lake for a run around the beach or even for a swim! Safety & Environment: I have an apartment that has a separate living room and bedroom area, so your fur baby can be alone or with Dodge depending on their comfort level! I can’t resist puppy dog eyes, so dogs are allowed in my bed and on the couches... we find this maximizes the amount of cuddles and kisses we can get too! If your dog enjoys it, I am able to bring him or her to the apartment complex dog park! If not, I am happy to take them on long walks and to burn some energy! And of course, we will send dozens of pictures of your fur baby relaxing and having fun!
“Sarah was amazing! I received the sweetest pictures of my cats each visit! My male cat needs twice daily insulin shots and Sarah had no trouble at all. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I love animals. I’ve had so many kinds of animals including fish, dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters. I’ve taken care of them very well and I know how to do the proper research to care for animals. I’m a high school student so I can take care of pets on the weekdays after I’m done with school. I’m not very busy most of the time. I’m very good at feeding, walking, watching, and just taking care of pets in general. I make sure they are well loved and I give them a lot of pets!

About: My family and I have been breeding Golden Retrievers for the past three years! I have had Goldens since I was little and I kept one from a litter we had in December 2023.

I am looking for a summer job right now but just contact me and will be available to take care of your pup! I offer Drop-In Visits and Dog Walking services and I have a one year old Golden Retriever that can come along with me to play with your dog, if your dog would be okay with other dogs! I will do whatever you need me to do for your fur baby!
