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.

My dog had such a great time with Sara! She started to recognize her driveway and would get excited as soon as I pulled in. Sara sent me the cutest photos and videos throughout my dog’s stay. I will definitely be booking with Sara again soon.

Ginger had a great time with Sara and her pup! She came back happy and tired. Sara and her husband are kind and gracious. They have a lovely property with plenty of open space for outside adventures. Sara seems to love animals, which is important to us. We look forward to having Ginger over again!

Sara was absolutely amazing with Bear! She was communicative and sent lots of photos during his stay. Bear had so much fun playing with her pup and running around on her land. I will definitely be booking with her again :)

Sara was absolutely amazing and worked with my pets needs. She wore them out and let them explore to their hearts content. She showed them love and devotion, which I greatly appreciated. She was attentive to all their needs and fulfilled mine by sending me lots of pictures and videos throughout the day. Will absolutely hire again!!! 10/10!
