Your dog's second home
Pet care experience
In our household your dog will be considered family. We offered a relaxed environment, several walks a day, and plenty of play. I've always had a profound love for dogs. I usually tell people I grew up with a pack of wolves as my mom would take me to the training field with our German Shepherds on a weekly basis. At age 10 she gave me our older dog to continue her training, but when she passed I had the pleasure of working with my own first puppy (I have named my daughter after this dog). Our dogs were always considered family, and I still see the dogs around me as such. In recent years, My husband and I have actively engaged in rescue and have fostered several dogs. Our current dog, Speedy, is a rescue. She's a 7-year-old purebred mutt (Shepherd/beagle), and she's the most gentle dog you'll find. We unfortunately had to say goodbye to our English Bulldog last year, and are not ready for a new dog yet, but we find it important that Speedy has the company of another dog around. Dog sitting is a perfect solution for us. Besides the two of us and our dog, we also have a cat, and our 1-year old daughter. For that recent we ask that your dog is fine with cats and children.
Reviews
My dog was well taken care of and got along great with Sara and her family. The meet and greet, drop off and pick up were all relaxed and made me secure in Oscar's stay. I'll definitely contact Sara again when we head out of town.
My dog had a great stay at Sara's home. Sara is a very conscientious and caring dog owner, and takes the time to make sure your dog is a good fit in her home, ensuring a happy stay for your pup. Communication was always excellent, and we will happily work with her again.
Sara did a wonderful job with our dog Gonzo. She was very easy to work with and took great care of our pup--sending pictures and videos and generally keeping us appraised of how things were going! When we came back to pick him up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly had enjoyed his time with Sara and Speedy. Couldn't recommend Sara (and Speedy) more highly!
Our dog Shiro had a wonderful time! We got good updates and pictures from Sara while we were away which is always nice. Her dog got along great with ours. He really enjoyed getting in the fountains downtown with her! Despite being a little bit away from our house we would most defiantly use Sara again as a dog sitter when we are out of town. Aaron

Information Sara N. would like to know about your pet
Your dog must be OK with cats and children. We also prefer fully house trained dogs only since we live in an apartment and can't make it out quickly. If you have a puppy, we can discuss the potty training part. Your dog also must walk well on a leash, since he/she will be walking next to a stroller.
A typical day
Walks and play. We live a few blocks from the mall where we go for walks. We also sometimes go up to Bundy Dog Park.
