Safe, Loved & Happy: Care by Sara
Licence reference: CB/LANW/26/003325 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
Sara was amazing at looking after our fur princess Henna. We all loved the regular updates we got! I would highly recommend Sara and will definitely book again in the near future. Thank you very much Sara 🥰
Sara was fantastic with taking my dog at short notice as my normal boarder was away! Peppa loved her time in Sara's home, with her family and other dogs. Sara was great at sending lots of updates over the weekend and I didn't have to worry about Peppa at all whilst I was away!
Sara took such good care of our pup Susan. It was wonderful seeing videos and pictures of her woodland adventures and know that she was getting lots of cuddles and affection while we were on holiday. It meant we could enjoy our trip and not feel guilty as Susan was clearly having a brilliant holiday of her own! Thank you Sara.
Our Dog had the most amazing stay with Sara whilst we were on holiday. Sara took excellent care of him, sending us lots of updates of him walking in the woods and playing with other dogs in her secure garden. He came home very relaxed and content. Would definitely recommend Sara for anyone looking for dog care in a home from home setting with a kind and attentive host.
Our Staffie, Belle, has just returned from a very successful stay with Sara, Belle had a great time! Sara was very helpful and professional. She quickly formed a good relationship with Belle and sent us several videos and photos throughout the stay. Thank you, Sara!
Poppy had a wonderful stay with Sara. Sara was very friendly, professional and responsive and kept us updated during the stay. Would definitely re book.

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.
