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.

Excellent. Our dog, Alfie, is highly strung and can be nervous of other dogs and this has proved a problem in finding an appropriate carer. Right from the meet and greet Sara was organised and seemed to know exactly what Alfie needed and how to help him meet the other dogs she was caring for. There were numerous dog toys in the garden and around the house which Alfie loved. His stay went really well and we received plenty of updates and photos. Sara’s love of dogs shines through and we are already organising his next stay with her.

Sara was fantastic. You can see that not only does she know a lot of dogs, their behaviour and how to interact with them, but that she absolutely loves spending time with them. We received lots of regular updates from Sara, including pictures and videos, and could see that Kobe was having a brilliant time and was being looked after very well. I'd highly recommend using Sara, I certainly will be again.

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!

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.

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.
