Dogs make my day complete

Pet care experience

I have a wide range of dog experience to offer you and your furbabies. I grew up with a pack of 6 dogs ranging in size from toy chihuahua to giant Great Pyrenees and a Saint Bernard, for whom I helped a great deal in their care. Since graduating college have cared for my own lab/dane mix, 2 great danes, my cattle dog mix and my roommate’s mixed breed pup. In particular, I have a lot of knowledge about giant breed needs and specialty care, including exercise and nutrition. I spend all of my spare time hiking, walking, and playing fetch outside with my own pups. I also have experience working at a dog rescue and grooming salon, where I worked both up front and in the kennel handling, making comfortable, and exercising a wide variety of dogs with all sorts of various needs. This included handling and building the trust of dogs who were less than thrilled to be joining us for grooming for the day or who did not want to go into their kennel while boarding, as well as dogs with guarding behaviors, fears, and dogs who were freshly into rescue with a whole host of various needs. From tiny to giant, I have experience working with a wide variety of pups!

I could not be happier with the experience of using Rover and the care and service provided by Sara. Sara provided great communication and took great care of my older Basset Hound, Lillian. I was happy that Lilly was not all stressed out from being left in a new and strange home. I credit Sara's loving attention she provided to Lilly throughout the stay. Will gladly use Sara again if in the area!

Sara was wonderful. I have a very large, stubborn Great Pyrenees who has never stayed with anyone who's not a family member. I was so happy to see that Sara had experience with giant breeds, and once she and Fallon met, I could see that she was the perfect sitter. She sent lots of pictures to keep me updated, which was fantastic. I would definitely recommend Sara and hope she'll be available to watch Fallon again soon!

Sara has been awesome! What a relief to know someone is letting my pup out that genuinely loves dogs. She gives great updates and photos, and I know he's well taken care of! Callen is always happy when I get home. I will continue to use her. She's also very flexible, trustworthy, and punctual! So glad I found her!

Information Sara A. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a dog, I would love to know a bit about their general disposition, any anxieties that they have, how they do with other dogs, and their favorite treats and activities.

A typical day

Before walking your dog, I would scope out the area around your home to find the best parks or other outside spaces to explore and hope to find places with lots of stimulation for your pet to enjoy.
