“Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with. My pup was in great hands and thoroughly enjoyed his stay. I was kept up to date of their adventures with texts and photos, and never doubted that my boy was in good hands. Sarah will be my first choice in the future. Im so glad to have someone to trust and rely on to take care of my pup. Thank you so much Sarah!”

“Great family what I like most is that they work as a team to take care of Cody. Great communication, spacious area, very kind to the dogs. I can say Leah is about her business every time I came by she had a dog there so that lets me know that she is well trusted with animals. I want to thank Mara for taken care of Cody cause he can be a handful because he wants all of the attention, and he is scared of other dogs, she sent pictures and responded to my text messages at timely manner. She told me some things that I didn’t realize about my dog while he was there. There young children are fearless with dogs so that was great to see the kids interact without being scared. I will be sending my Cody back to this family if they will welcome him again. Highly recommend this family.”

“We cannot recommend Sarah enough! From the moment she met our dog, she was patient, calm, and deeply knowledgeable. While we were away for over a week, we received daily photo updates and detailed texts that gave us total peace of mind. Our dog most definitely got more attention and pampering than she does at home:) When we came home, our pup was relaxed, happy, and clearly well-cared for. We look forward to using Sarah on our next trip! Thank you, Sarah!!”

About: I've loved and taken care of animals since I was 7 years old. I was a groomer for 10 years and fostered for rescue, I specialized in high anxiety and fearful dogs. I am certified in CPR and experienced at giving medication including diabetes shots. I work full time in a pet friendly office, my hours are flexible with a 1 hour lunch break. Pets can come with me if they are friendly with other dogs. In my home we treat pets like our own. I have a fenced yard and we are just a few blocks from the park. We include pets in daily activities, walks to the park, dinner at pet friendly cafes etc. In your home, I will try to maintain your pet's routine as much as possible to avoid an already stressful time while you're away.

Alexandra was the BEST caretaker for Ellie. She attended to all my instructions and made sure Ellie had the best time. She sent daily updates and pictures and I was able to focus on my trip knowing my dog was in great hands. She was even flexible when travel chaos made me a little late for pick up. Thanks, Alexandra!

If we could leave 11 stars, we would! Darius was amazing with Darcy. Walks, snuggles, chill time, treats, and squirrel chasing…she loved every minute and we were so comforted knowing she was in Darius’s care. He has made a four-legged and 2 two-legged friends for life :). Delighted and grateful…we will definitely be booking again! Thank you, Darius!!

Isa is great!! So friendly, and attentive and loving with my dog. I know Lily was well-taken care of and had a good time. I could tell immediately when I picked up my dog that she had bonded with Isa and her friend. Plus she got Lily to eat while I was gone, so that's an accomplishment! I will definitely want to use Isa again for future boarding.
