About: We love dogs! We are called first when any of our friends go out of town. We have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages from older doxies to young mutts and we love large rotties too. We are also okay with special needs dogs and we make sure your dog gets their medications when scheduled. Our lab loves to make new friends with dogs of all sizes. We have a nice privacy fenced in back yard with a kiddie pool to help the dogs keep cool during the summer even though they will spend most of the time inside. Please know that if your pup stays with us he or she will be treated like a part of the family. We love dogs! I help my Dad on his farm only when I'm not scheduled to care for a pup I'm hosting. I'm free to stay at home all day with your pet. I always keep an eye on what's going on. I'm usually outside if our pups are. If I'm watching a pet at your home, I don't make messes.

“Sarah was great and I highly recommend her to take care of your pets! She was right on time to walk our Xena and communicated with us throughout the process. We were staying in a little cabin at Camp Long Creek and went out to Silver Dollar City. Sarah came to the cabin, found the key we had hidden for her, and walked our dog. That’s a lot for someone to have to do, but she did it! Very professional.”
