Sara was awesome with my pup. I love that we had a meet and great before we boarding so Lady Bugg could get a sense of the environment and smells, see how she reacted and get familiar beforehand. Sara was super detailed and thorough, she also provides pick up and drop off which was so convenient with my schedule. I have only boarded my pup a few times and Sara really put me at ease to know Lady Bugg was not only in good hands but would be attended to just like she was at home. Thanks Sara!

Sara has been our go to for watching Olive when we are out of town. She does great with our shy, timid pup and accommodates for her needs while staying with her! She doesn't always send photos or videos which is one thing I would enjoy more of but that's understandable since she is working with different grouping of dogs all day long. I trust Sara and know that Olive is in very capable hands.

Sara was easy to schedule with and was flexible with some changes to my schedule. I was happy to hear they made a friend. I will be rebooking with Sara for future dates!

Information Sara H. would like to know about your pet

Please complete the pets profile. I will request that your veterinarian's information be shared with me in case of an emergency. I partner with 1stPet and Adecco. Since I do have multiple pets from different families the more in depth your profile the more it helps us provide top notch care.

A typical day

If your fur baby is not in a play group or out for individual play they will be napping in the comfort of their own kennels. My services are ideal for highly anxious, fearful or dog-aggressive dogs that do not cope well in a boarding environment.

Availability

I am available for drop offs or pickups between the hours of 6:00AM to 12:00PM or 3PM to 8PM. If accommodations are needed we do have flexibility with prior discussion. Our day starts as early at 5:30AM. Breakfast starts as early as 6AM Playtimes will vary throughout the day and are completely customized to the pets needs. 4 ways for providing enrichment and exercise. #1 Individual play - 1:1 time with handler or 1:1 walks #2 Group play - These kids will have graduated from our initial behavior testing and are matched based off their play styles. All pets must pass behavior testing with my personal dog Nala. #3 Exercise - Whether it be treadmill training or going for a hike we are able to match even the highest levels of energy #4 Enrichment - While crated in their down time or for bedtime pets will be given lick mats, enrichment toys, treat dispensing toys, frozen kongs, etc. This aids in keeping their mind BUSY! ~ Things to note ~ * House privileges: For extra comfort pet's that are well-behaved get house privileges on a 1:1 or family basis. I do not allow pets to free-roam unsupervised. *Pets are crated or kenneled during Down-time, Feeding and Bedtime. *We do NOT offer Free Roam Boarding.
