I do work part time but my schedule is very flexible so I don't have the typical 9-5 that we need to work around! I can come morning, afternoon, or night to give them attention, exercise, and lots of love!

Safety, trust & environment

Since I rent my home, I can't watch your furry friends at my house, however, I have no problem coming to you to watch them! Don't worry, I always keep a clean space when I leave your home! The nice thing about coming to you is that your dog doesn't have to change his day to day routine at all! You let me know everything they need, and I take care of the the rest!

Information Sara A. would like to know about your pet

To make sure that our visits run smoothly, the only thing I really ask is that you give me a rundown of their routines. If they have any special medications and anything else that I need to know, that is no problem! As long as you make a list of what I need to do then I make sure that it's handled. Can't wait to meet you and your furry friends soon!

A typical day

I have experience watching all kinds of dogs. Puppies who love the constant attention (and potty breaks), senior dogs who prefer to just catch some ZZZ's, large breeds, small breeds, you name it! Whatever their regular day to day routine is, I can make sure we stick to it!

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Sara (but I go by Rosie.) I live with my 2 best friends / Golden Retrievers, Biscuit and Crumpet. I've have had dogs all my life. I actually owned my own dog boarding business for years! Though, I took a break for awhile to pursue other things, my true passion has always been pet care so I'm excited to be back at it again! Though I unfortunately can't host your furry ones in my home since I'm renting, I can come right to you! I so look forward to meeting you guys soon!

We had a fantastic experience with Sara (AKA Rosie) while we were away for five days in South Carolina. She was incredibly reliable, completing every single scheduled drop-in (3 times per day) without missing a beat. What truly sets her apart is how much quality time she spends with the dogs—not just letting them out quickly, but actually sitting with them, playing, and giving them space to run and explore in our large yard. Our doorbell would notify us when she showed up at the house and she was always out in the yard with the dogs while they explored. She followed all care instructions, including administering their daily joint supplements, and kept me constantly updated with detailed reports and at least 10 photos per visit—which meant I was getting about 30 pictures a day of my dogs being happy, active, and well cared for. That level of visibility gave me so much peace of mind. She was also incredibly proactive: when one of my dogs ran off to a less visible part of the yard, she immediately notified me and took steps to make sure he was safe (he was probably sniffing groundhog holes and choosing not to listen because he loves the yard). I also appreciated her sharing a funny moment when my dogs calmly sniffed a wild bunny—they weren’t aggressive, just curious, and it was comforting to know she filled me in on notable happenings while I was away. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with our pets again—she’s professional, dependable, communicative, and clearly has a real love for animals. Highly recommend!
