Safe, Loved & Happy: Care by Sara
Hi there — I’m Sara! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is what I truly love. Whether you’ve got a playful pup who thrives on activity, a chilled companion who prefers gentle company, or a senior dog who needs a slower pace and extra care, I make sure every guest feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Dog Daycare - Supervised playgroups matched by size, age, and temperament - Enrichment, walks, and structured rest breaks - Photo/video updates so you can follow the fun Dog Boarding - Comfortable, home-from-home stays with cosy sleep setups - Routine kept consistent (your dog’s own food, schedule, and comforts) - Medication administered and special diets supported Safety & Standards - Temperament meet-and-greet before the first visit - Vaccination and health requirements in place - Clean and secure environment My aim is simple: you relax, knowing your dog is getting plenty of love, enrichment, and cuddles — and will come home content and happily tired.

Ratings and reviews
I really didn’t want to leave my little puppy as she’s only 4 months but circumstances forced me to take the plunge. I felt very anxious about the whole situation. Sara invited me (and my puppy) to a ‘Meet and Greet’ session. It was very relaxed. We met her resident dog and others she had in her care. They all seemed relaxed and happy. I felt happier now I’d met with Sara and checked out the environment in which I’d be leaving my young dog. Well, if Martha (my puppy) could talk I know she’d be saying what a fab time she’d had. She loved being with the other dogs. Sara took them all on a couple of adventures during the day. When I picked her up she looked really tired and is now snoring the rest of the afternoon away. Sara said ‘she’d been really good’. Mmm, I wonder - my little pup can be a pickle at times!!! 😊 I was sent updates, pictures and videos of the day. I highly recommend Sara! Thank you Sara very much. 😊
From our first meeting we knew our Kobi was in safe hands ! He had a great time playing with Sara’s lovely dog, and it’s obvious that Sara is a real dog lover and enjoys her doggy guests as much as they enjoy being there! We are quite anxious dog parents and all the photos , videos and messages from Sara were so reassuring. Thank you Sara for giving us a great worry free weekend away .
This review is being written by Wilma and Betty. We are the two dogs that actually stayed with Sara whilst David and Rachel were away in Sussex. We had a discussion last night, and decided that my (Wilma's) written English is better than Betty's, as I have been in this country longer. I came from Romania 11 years ago, whilst Betty has only been here 18 months. She came from Bosnia We had only met Sara once, before our two night stay. We enjoyed our time with her then a lot. It was fun getting to know her, as well as Sienna her own little dog, and baby Chloe. So we were looking forward to our return visit there. But I have to tell you folks, we did not expect to be so spoilt. Sara had bought new beds for us that were super comfy. Neither Betty nor I have ever had our tummies, heads and rear ends rubbed so much or for so long. We had the time of our lives. So much so we almost did not want to go back home. We even learnt a few words of Italian. Betty can now woof the word "Pasta" whilst I can woof "Spaghetti!" We have certainly fallen on our paws staying here, and we would go back any time. When we think of Sara our tails wag very happily! She is the best!
Sara was absolutely great with my two dogs, and provided lots of lovely photos and videos throughout the weekend. She was excellent at getting back to me quickly.
Sara has been absolutely wonderful looking after our dog each week. From the start she made us feel completely at ease, especially as very anxious dog parents! She’s so kind, friendly and understanding, and it’s obvious how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. We always get lots of photo and video updates which really reassures us and lets us see how happy and settled our dog is with her. Communication has been brilliant throughout, and our dog clearly loves spending time with her. We feel very lucky to have found Sara and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.
Sarah and her family were honestly amazing with Millie 🥹 She updated me constantly, took her on so many walks and little adventures, and Millie genuinely looked like she was having her own mini holiday the whole time. You can tell Sarah genuinely loves dogs and I trusted her completely from the start. Honestly didn’t even feel like a service, felt like leaving Millie with a friend. Would 1000% recommend and I already know who I’ll be asking whenever I need someone to look after her again 🤍

Schedule
Because I work from home, pet care is woven into my day. I already have a dog, so regular walks and toilet breaks are part of my routine and easily extended to guests. A typical day looks like: - Morning: Up to 1 hour walk, then breakfast. - Lunchtime: neighbourhood walk to stretch legs and reset. - Evening: walk, dinner, and a final let-out before bed. If not cold, my garden door is always open so your pups can go in and out as he/she wants. If not, regular toilet breaks are provided. I tailor frequency for puppies or seniors, can administer meds, and keep your dog’s schedule consistent. With supervised introductions, friendly dogs can socialise with mine; if needed, I’m also set up to keep dogs separate and calm. You’ll get updates throughout the day so you can relax knowing their needs are covered.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Secure setup: I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. Friendly resident dog: Introductions are slow and supervised, and I can keep dogs separate if they prefer solo time. Flexible spaces: I use baby gates to manage zones. I can crate your dog on request to match training or provide a cosy den. Clean & hazard-free: I keep a tidy home, store food/chemicals out of reach, use pet-safe cleaning products, most of them are plant-based. Constant supervision: I work from home, so dogs get regular toilet breaks, walks, and check-ins throughout the day, plus structured rest. Health & wellbeing: I follow your dog’s routine (diet, meds, cues). I ask for up-to-date vaccinations and your vet’s contact for peace of mind. Comfortable sleep: Quiet, comfy sleeping areas—happy to use your dog’s own bed/blanket to keep things familiar. Clear communication: You’ll receive photo/video updates and honest feedback. I do a meet-and-greet before the first stay to align on needs and temperament. Out & about: Walks are on-lead unless you’ve approved off-lead time in a secure area. ID tags and safety checks are standard.
