Highlights
Pet care experience
Care that feels like home
Small dogs only (under 30 lbs) at this time. All dogs must be comfortable around young children and other small dogs. I’ve been a dedicated dog sitter for over 20 years and on Rover for 12+ years. Dogs in my care are treated like part of the family, and your pup will be no exception! Safety is always my top priority. While we have a fully fenced yard, dogs are never left unattended outdoors. Walks can be provided on request. I follow strict leash practices on walks. Dogs are not taken off-leash unless in a secure, fenced area. My home is also set up with baby gates for added safety and structure. We currently have two small dogs at home, and I have lifelong experience caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and health needs. I’m especially comfortable with shy or sensitive dogs and have completed training in this area. I also have two young children who are gentle, respectful, and experienced around dogs. They love interacting but understand when a dog needs space. You’ll receive regular photo updates throughout your dog’s stay. Requirements: Dogs must be spayed/neutered, fully house-trained, and up to date on vaccinations.

Ratings and reviews
Sarah and her husband were so wonderful in caring for my dog for a week. They understood Duffy’s needs, quickly picked up her personality, and gave her so much love and attention. It felt like I had left Duffy with family!
Sara was absolutely wonderful with Indy! I felt so comfortable leaving him with her and her family, and it was obvious from all the photos and updates that he was having the best time. She kept me updated throughout his entire stay, which I really appreciated, and Indy looked so happy and comfortable with everyone. He came home happy and tired from such a fun weekend! I would absolutely trust Sara with him again and will definitely be booking with her in the future.
Wally had a great time! He loves to play with the other pups and Sara is very responsive!
Sara and her family were so good. Greenpea was very happy and confortable.
Sara is a wonderful dog sitter, and I feel so lucky to have her taking care of Cosmo. She's incredibly thoughtful, caring, and attentive with him, and her whole family is amazing. Cosmo always has the best time with them! Sara is also extremely reliable and flexible, making everything so easy and stress-free for me. I couldn't recommend her more highly
Sara F. cancelled a booking after the stay began.

Schedule
I’m a full time mom, and my husband, Cody, works from home as well, so someone is always home during the week. Dogs will either be on the main floor with me or resting in my husband's office when they need a quiet space to relax.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I know what it’s like to have an escape artist, a shy dog, a dog with anxiety, and a medically complex dog, so I take safety and care very seriously. I always go outside with the dogs when they’re in the yard, and I check my fence regularly for any potential gaps (when you have a 9 lb escape artist, that becomes second nature). Mealtimes are always supervised, and each dog is given their own space to eat to keep things calm and safe.
Pets
A typical day
I let each dog’s personality set the tone for their stay. Some dogs want to run and play, others prefer to relax and snuggle. We mostly spend our time inside but will hang out in the backyard when it’s nice out. There's usually playing, relaxing on the couch, or just hanging out together. Walks around the neighborhood are available by request.
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsSpayed and neutered dogs onlyNo females in heatSara can host up to 4 pets per night
- All dogs must be up to date on vaccinations. Proof from your vet may be required, and I’m happy to provide proof of my dogs’ vaccinations upon request. Dogs should be friendly with adults, children, and other dogs. Questions I’ll Ask Before Booking: How does your dog do with other dogs? How are they with children? Are they comfortable with loud noises and sudden movement? Any food aggression toward dogs or humans? Any toy/resource guarding? Any health issues I should be aware of? Where do they usually sleep?
