I work from home with an extremely flexible schedule, so caring for pets fits seamlessly into my day. With two Aussies and a Golden Retriever of my own, my daily routine already includes walks, playtime, training, and lots of snuggles. I can easily add extra walks, potty breaks, or cuddle sessions to meet each pet’s unique needs. On a weekly basis, I make time for longer outings, enrichment activities, and keeping up with each pet’s routine, ensuring they feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment

I create a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet, whether in my home or theirs. At home, my dogs are well-trained and social, and I ensure all pets have supervised interactions, secure spaces, and plenty of enrichment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space the way I would want my own home treated — following routines exactly, from feeding and walks to medications and bedtime. Pets feel comfortable and safe, and owners can trust that their home and furry family members are in good hands.

Information Sara K. would like to know about your pet

The more details the better! What they do and don’t like, favorite toys, treats. The more information the better so that I can guarantee the best possible experience for your animal!

A typical day

I love enrichment toys and lick mats for dogs that need extra mental stimulation. I have a fenced in yard so playing outside is something we do frequently. Whether that’s throwing balls, frisbees or sun bathing!

Pet care experience

I’m more than just a sitter — I’m a lifelong pet lover who treats every furry friend like family. I grew up showing dogs in AKC competitions, which gave me a strong foundation in training, handling, and understanding dogs of all temperaments. I have hands-on experience with both large and small dogs at every energy level. At home, I care for two energetic Australian Shepherds and a lovable Golden Retriever, so I’m very comfortable with high-drive pups as well as calmer companions. I also have experience caring for puppies who need patience and structure, and seniors who need a gentler touch and extra attention. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or sticking to special routines (like medications, feedings, or training commands), I’m detail-oriented and committed to giving each pet the personalized care they deserve.

This was the second time that Sara did a drop in to let our dog out for us. We received pictures of Archer, and it looked like he had a great time playing with his ball! We are so glad that we found someone we can trust to drop by and let Archer out. 🙂

This was our 1st time getting a dog sitter for our 5 month old pup so I was nervous. So happy we found Sara! She was great! She sent pics and videos which helped quickly ease my mind! We will definitely be booking more time with Sara and definitely recommend her!

I had a last minute request and Sara accepted right away. She was very responsive. I got lots of pictures and a video from Sara’s drop-in with Archer. We will be requesting Sara for any future drop-ins!
