Safety, trust & environment
**IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE READ:** All dogs in my care MUST have a name & info tag, securely attached to a well fitted collar. I require provide proof of current vaccinations including Bordetella and Leptospirosis. Current records must to be provided before a stay. This is in everybody’s best interest and ensures the health and safety of all pups in my care, including your own. I want your dog to have the best experience here possible and that includes being outdoors and having playtime with other dogs! In order to provide the best service (and be courteous to my lovely neighbors), I am unable to accept dogs that have excessive barking issues, have been aggressive toward humans or other animals, dogs that are fully not house trained, or pups that have separation anxiety resulting in destructive behavior. Since I am able to provide potty breaks every 0-2 hours, any dog may be charged at the puppy rate if there are frequent issues with urinary incontinence indoors, pooping indoors, or “marking” behaviors indoors. Please be respectful of my home and indicate these behaviors up front so we can discuss solutions during their stay!

Information Sara H. would like to know about your pet
It is helpful to know their bathroom cues. Please update your profile to include care information, emergency contact info, behaviors to watch out for, etc. I generally feed all the dogs at approximately 7AM & 5PM, but if your dog has special preferences or needs, I’m happy to accommodate! FYI- Each dog will eat separately during their stay to avoid any chance of food aggression. Please note how many cups per meal your pup should eat.
A typical day
Your pup will have a blast playing in the back yard, running laps around the pool, lounging in the living room, cuddling in bed, snuggling on the couch, and enjoying their whole day! I specialize in belly rubs, under collar scritches, silly nicknames, and snuggles.

Pet care experience
I’ve always been in love with dogs, and starting caring for them when I was about 9 years old. I grew up taking care of our family dogs - a German Shepherd and a Siberian husky, and quickly became the entire neighborhood’s and family’s dog sitter! In my home I have a 15 year old daughter who loves dogs just as much as I do, a 9 year old Australian Shepherd/AmStaff mix (Linda Belcher), and a 2 year old English Mastweiler (Marceline the Vampire Queen) who are very easygoing and friendly. I adopted Linda 11 wks old, and Marci came to us at 4 months old. Our senior pup Roxy was with us from 12 weeks old, until she crossed the rainbow bridge at 15 1/2 years old, in October of 2023. I am no stranger to puppy and senior dog care, and am happy to accommodate special needs! I have experience caring for breeds of all shapes and sizes from Yorkies and Chihuahuas to Great Danes and Cane Corsos. (I’m not going to lie, I LOVE giant breeds and they absolutely make my heart melt into a puddle) I am thrilled to find my calling in pet care services! I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! ☺️🐾
Reviews
As always, Sara is amazing! She takes great care of our dog 🥰!
Amazing as always. Very accommodating and helpful. I had an emergency on vacation that required me to stay an additional day. Sara worked with me and kept my dog for another day, getting rid of any stress or worry I had! Highly recommend.
Sara was amazing with Benito! He is a nervous dog and he definitely had an amazing time. Sara sent so many photos and videos and we knew he was well taken cared of. Thank you!!
We feel so lucky to have found Sara! She is so great with our dog (who is super nice but a little quirky!). She sends pictures and updates while we are away, which always provide a great sense of comfort. And, she is just such a very nice person...which always makes every interaction a pleasure. 5 stars from our dog and his humans!
