Trusted Pet Care with Heart & Fun!

Pet care experience

Leveraging my role as a dog walker for Galbraith Trail Hounds, I bring a wealth of hands-on experience in managing diverse canine personalities, especially herding breeds known for their energy and intelligence. My personal journey with four dogs, including three seniors and a lively puppy, has equipped me with a deep understanding of different life stages and their unique needs. Additionally, my experience with exotic animals enhances my skill set, allowing me to provide specialized care and attention to a wide range of pets. This blend of professional and personal experience positions me as a versatile and knowledgeable caretaker for your beloved pet.

Sara is such a great dog sitter, I’m glad we found her! 🩵 Our dog is a little sensitive and not the easiest, but Sara does such a great job with her! She even taught her how to shake. Happy we found Sara and we plan to continue to use her.

Sara was great! Buddy had a blast and even though I picked him up about an hour later than expected she was so accommodating. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to watch Buddy again!

Sara is hands-down the best Dog Sitter we’ve ever had! She is so wonderful with our dog, not only caring for and exercising him, but also training as well. She is communicative, knowledgeable, easy to work with, and genuinely enjoys being with our pup. She is also a great housesitter, and takes the time to fully understand the nuances of pet care, plant care, and house care. Highly recommend (except for when We are out of town because we’d like to book her, please).
