About: I have owned fur babies a majority of my life and love caring for them. For the 3 years, I volunteered as an in home foster for a local dog rescue and have experience with anything from the shy/timid personalities to the energetic playful personalities that these babies have. I have my own dogs who welcome other 4 legged visitors and enjoy running around the house and yard playing....but they also enjoy cuddling and nap time. I have a fenced area in my front yard where they can enjoy fresh air and lay in the sunshine. Your pets will be loved on and pampered while here. I have experience in giving medications as I have had to medicated some of the fosters that’s i have had. I do have crates available for those who need it. I work from home so they would not be left alone for long periods and would be taken outside frequently. I currently work from home so the fur babies would not be left for long periods. My daughter lives with me and helps care for the dogs. I have 2 small fenced areas in my yard but I do not leave any dog outside alone. I also have fences and crates available for inside for nights and when I have to run errands.

“Grateful to Stef for walking River for her whole scheduled walk and even a few minutes extra- as an owner of a very active girl, this is something I truly appreciate. And as an added bonus, River loved Stef! :)”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors who need extra patience and care. I do daily dog walks for a few families and the family I dog sit for most often actually has six dogs (3 Golden-doodles & 3 Chows), so I’m very comfortable with multiple pets. I also have a German Shepherd at home who has anxiety, so I’m patient and good at keeping pets calm and happy. I’m a second-year nursing student, so I’m used to being attentive, responsible, and caring for others. I’m currently in nursing school, but I only have to go in on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9am to 2:30pm. Outside of that, my schedule is super flexible and I love spending my free time caring for pets! I care for pets like they’re my own! I follow your instructions closely, keep their routine consistent, and make sure they get plenty of attention & playtime.

Which helps me make sure that your pets that are on my schedule NEVER EVER forgotten! How I care for my pets in my home or in my clients home is I make sure to mainly prioritize building trust. It is crucial that the first time I’m meeting a pet that they have a clear view of me and what I have on me so that they won’t feel scared or become anxious. My pets are all separated by the end of the day but together during the day. This means that all of my pets have a crate of their own, my pets have also a set schedule where they go out to use the potty and a feeding time schedule that I have hanging on the fridge. I also make sure that my pets are bathed often to avoid build up or becoming matted. Most importantly, I always have toys and treats with me!

“Sara was awesome. She filled in when our regular sitter was unavailable. She came for a meet and greet. Took nice walks or spent good visit time when it was raining. She left great notes. I knew Piper was well cared for.”
