Sara is amazing! She took excellent care of my 7 month old puppy. He had the absolute time of his life making friends and playing. Sara is super flexible, organized, professional, and awesome - couldn’t recommend her enough.

I cannot thank Sarah enough for taking care of Barnabe. It is clear that he was well cared for during his stay with her. He was relaxed and happy when I dropped him off and again when I picked him up. I hope she has time to work with us again!

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.
