"The Dog Mom Expert"!
Pet care experience
With over 20 years of caring for pets, my friends and family jokingly refer to me as "the dog mom expert"! And unless they’re all lying to me, I don't think they are too far off. Ha! 😆 You can usually find me covered in dog hair most days, posting about my many dog adventures on social media. I have plenty of experience in caring for puppies to senior pets with extensive medical needs as I’ve owned a few myself! ***I have a huge soft spot for senior doggos❤️ *** I am a volunteer foster for a local dog rescue and part of the transport team. I also regularly dog sit for several of my neighbors and love every minute of it! Is your pupper a “velcro dog”? That’s ok! I work from home only and on a part time basis. So your pet will have lot's of love from me daily! If I do leave the house, it is never for more than 4 hours at a time. For daycare and boarding, I have a medium size fenced in yard and never leave pets outside unattended. I make sure they do their business and play a little if they want. I have a doggy gate inside separating 2 areas of my house, allowing for dogs to have some space from each other when needed. I also have 2 crates and familiar with crate training and potty training schedules. I do not have stairs, so dogs with mobility issues don't have to worry about that. I aways feed pets in my home separately to ensure safety during feeding times. And in the event I do leave my house, dogs will be separated from each other with a doggy gate or crated as well. For walks and drop ins, I love walking dogs and allowing them to get some exercise and go on sniff adventures. For dogs that don’t go on long walks, we will spend our time playing, cuddling, and treats of course! I love to take lots of pics and videos and share them with my clients daily. I know how just having a quick update can help so much with peace of mind!
Reviews
Would recommend Sara to anyone needing a loving and trustworthy sitter! From the get-go, it was great to have someone so communicative in terms of the logistics, sending photos of my pup, etc.- but even better than that, I know that she made him feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and nothing beats that! 5 stats all around :)
Did great with Floyd!! Always sent updates and responded to messages extremely fast!
Sara has been taking care of our beloved Labrador for many years now. There is no one I trust more to love and care for our dog than Sara. Her husband is equally amazing with dogs. They are true dog lovers. Sara is also a great communicator and often sends us photos or videos of how much love and attention our dog is getting!
We loved Sara and her husband! They were so kind to us since we came in from out of town and were SO great with Izzy and made her feel right at home. This was our first booking experience with Rover and it exceeded all of our expectations. We can’t wait to use Sara again for future visits! HIGHLY recommend ?

For boarding and day care clients, I have a large separate area of my house that is just dedicated to the dogs. I have crates, plenty of plush toys, and enrichment toys as well! When entering someone else’s home, I try to be respectful as possible. And aware of any messes I may have made while playing with your dog. I do not mind cameras in the home, as I have a few myself!

Information Sara C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any behavioral issues such as resource guarding, marking, eating things they are not supposed to, etc. Or any health issues that sometimes come and go that I may need to keep an eye out for.
A typical day
I love to take dogs on "sniffaris" and let them sniff on walks until their heart is content! We also walk a few blocks in my neighborhood, taking a different route each time. I have plenty of enrichment toys....snuffle mats, kongs, etc. We can play fetch in the backyard. And on hot days, I pull out the kiddie pool and let the dogs splash around for a while.
