Availability
I’m a full time mom, and my husband, Cody, works from home as well, so someone is always home during the week. He helps care for the dogs when I run errands and has been doing this with me since I started on Rover.

About Sara F.
Communication
Dog skills
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. I’m not able to accommodate free feeding, as my own dogs will eat anything left out.

Information Sara F. would like to know about your pet
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. My home can be a bit loud and high-energy at times, so it’s important that your dog is comfortable with noise and movement. Dogs will always have their own space, but they should be able to handle a busy household. 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?
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, and I’m happy to meet them where they’re most comfortable. We mostly spend our time at home or out in the backyard when it’s nice—playing, relaxing on the couch, or just hanging out together. Walks around the neighborhood are available by request.

Reliable care, familiar comfort
Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
Both cats loved her. Thank you Sara!
Sara was great and very accommodating!! Wally had a blast and we weren’t worried about him while we were away!! Thanks again!
Sara and Cody are the best! They always make themselves available, even on little to no notice. Their pricing is fair and they take amazing care of Molly when I board her at their secure course. All family members are great with Molly. They offer a 5 star service and provide feedback and pics which I really like and can’t ask for anything more.
Sara and her family were amazing. Our little Ziggy had a blast with their dogs and we will definitely leave her with them again.
