Dogs are my favorite thing.
Pet care experience
Hello! I'm Sarah. I love dogs and my husband and I are the proud owners of a 14-lb. shelter dog who is super friendly and loves to play with other dogs. We especially like smaller dogs (35 lbs. and under). We are committed to hosting just one or two dogs at a time, so you can be fully confident that if your dog is here, it's getting tons of attention and having all its needs met! OFFERINGS (PLEASE READ): While we've cared for lots of Rover dogs in the past, we're currently interested in hosting one to two dog-friendly dogs who will enjoy hanging out with Hazel during the day and getting plenty of love and attention from us. This is a great setup for a dog who likes to socialize but doesn't want a chaotic or noisy environment like a typical doggy daycare business or camp. We work from home and have a large, fenced yard with plenty of grass for playtime in addition to walks around the neighborhood and in Wash Park. It's a pretty sweet setup for couple of dogs, I must say! We go on three walks per day (one longer walk and two shorter, around-the-block strolls). Your dog would never be left alone or unsupervised during daycare here. CREDENTIALS: I grew up around dogs and have worked with dogs of many sizes, breeds, and personalities, from cuddly lap dogs to high-energy herding dogs. I have worked as a trained volunteer with the Denver Dumb Friends League, where I interacted with every breed and size of dog imaginable. I make it a priority to donate to the Animal Legal Defense Fund, the ASPCA and local dog shelters and certified rescue organizations. I am personally very active and enjoy walking, hiking, and running adventures with dogs.
Reviews
Sarah was a wonderful dog sitter and Sven and Loki loved her!
Sarah takes fantastic care of my dog. He loves going on long walks with her and playing catch. She's an exceptionally warm and responsive care giver!! We can't wait to book her in the future!
Our dog Fitz is extremely high needs including having a special training program and collar that we use with him daily. Sarah has been watching Fitz since he was 8 weeks old and there is no one else I trust more to take care of him when I'm away. When we were worried about him being alone for too long as a puppy, she would take him on errands and playdates to ensure that he had enough time to socialize and play or she would simply work from our house so that he had company. She has taken the time to understand his special needs and how to handle him when we're not there. We highly recommend her!
My dog loved Sarah! She sent us tons of great pictures and took great care of our cattle dog. She is definitely our go-to dog sitter now!

Information Sarah W. would like to know about your pet
NO DOG-AGGRESSIVE DOGS. We have our own dog and require a dog that is friendly towards other dogs. It's okay if they hate cats...they won't see any here! NEED TO KNOW: Does your dog have any special needs, like medications, injuries to be aware of, or specific anxieties? What level of activity is your dog used to? What commands or praise does your dog respond to best?
A typical day
I am very active and try to walk or run every day. I'm right next to Wash Park so it's a frequent walking spot for us.

I work from home. Your dog would get the same star treatment that my dog does — walks during the workday, playtime outside, and lots of attention.
