Animal lover

Pet care experience

Growing up with a lovable lab left a dog-shaped void in my life. I've joyfully fostered furry friends for the NWSPCA. While my husband and I wait for a bigger space, working from home allows me to fill my day with walks and hikes, making this gig a perfect fit. I promise to shower your dog with as much care and love as you do, understanding the pangs of loneliness they feel in your absence. Can't wait to meet both of you!

Sara and her husband are the best! Our dog loves them and is always in good hands every time he’s there.

The best! Took our dog for a 2 hour hike and even cleaned him up from the mud afterwards. Our dog loves to hang with Sara!

Sara went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable with leaving Benji for the weekend. He had a great time and we could tell by all the updates that Sara provided that he was very happy. We will definitely be hoping Sara is available for our next trip that we have to leave our pup! Thank you Sara!

Sara is wonderful and made us feel at ease leaving our puppy with a sitter for the first time. Our nervous guy took to her instantly. We will definitely use her services again!
