Safety, trust & environment

I have over 15 years of professional experience working with dogs in training, grooming, kennel management, and daily care. Throughout my career, I have handled dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, developing a strong understanding of canine behavior, safety, and exercise needs. My experience includes supervising group play, administering medications, creating personalized care plans, and building trusting relationships with both pets and their owners. I am passionate about providing reliable, compassionate care that supports each dog’s well-being while giving owners peace of mind.

House Sitting • May 10, 2026

Sara did a wonderful job house sitting for our 4 cats! She was very responsive during the booking process and visited our home for a "Meet and Greet" with our cats before we traveled. While we were away, she kept us updated with photos and videos of how everyone was doing and getting along. We could tell our cats were at ease with her and that she knew how to handle a multiple pet household . We highly recommend Sara and will be rebooking her in the future.

I can’t say enough good things about Sara. What truly sets Sara apart is her genuine compassion for animals. She cares with her whole heart about every dog she works with. She didn’t just train my dog, but also helped me understand my dog’s behavior, communication style, and unique needs on a much deeper level. Because of her knowledge, I’ve seen such a positive change in my dog and even in my confidence as a dog mom to a rowdy boy. I highly recommend Sara, because she truly goes above and beyond.

I have known Sara for a long time, also have worked with her. She is an amazing person. She also dog sets for me when we are away. Totally recommend her . She also can groom and she is a dog trainer, she is the complete package. Highly recommend her for anything.

I met Sara when my dog went through training with her. She was very well educated and helped us overcome a lot of setbacks. She has become a friend and has continued helping my dog with her training as well. I have a hard time trusting people with my animals but Sara is one person I trust with them.

Sara is so easy-going and relaxed with the dogs! She puts them at ease and they leave and return with their tails wagging! We absolutely adore her and want to recommend her to everyone!

Sara has watched my dogs for me a few times while I’ve been traveling. I have a big shepherd who is extremely anxious and doesn’t do well with many people. I have to pick him up and drag him out of the house when I get back. Not only that but she graciously deals with my other 6 and that’s a lot to ask for. I’ve never felt any anxiety or worry about leaving my dogs with her.
