Calling all cuddle bugs!

Pet care experience

I’m an unabashed fan of new fluffy friends - I’ve been around pets (my own or other people’s) for as long as I can remember, and I’m 300% the person that makes heart eyes at your pet when I see them in public. You will get a steady stream of photos as I eagerly capture each adorable thing they do 😊 I’ve been fortunate to have trained a service dog and helped found a local service dog nonprofit that trains/places service dogs with wounded first responders and veterans. I prefer dogs to be already crate trained but I’m willing to work with your pet and will review on a case-by-case basis.

Sara did a great job of watching my dog while I was away! She sent me daily updates and took care of her very well, leaving me no concern while I was going for over a week. Would highly recommend!!

Sara was amazing! From the first time she communicated with us all the way through pick-up, she was professional, positive and a great communicator! She offered a meet and greet and kept in touch throughout our puppy’s stay with her. Sara sent lots of pictures and took wonderful care of our puppy. You won’t be disappointed!

Sara was wonderful! She had everything my Auggie needed for a fun stay. I just supplied his food and favorite blanket. He was loved and maybe even just a little spoiled. ;-). I received lots of photos and appreciated every one of them. This was our first time meeting Sara and we’ll definitely keep her handy for the future.

Jax was in great hands with Sara for 5 days. She sent lots of pictures and he even made friends with her 2 cats! I would highly recommend ?

Information Sara K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about medical needs, dog reactivity, pertinent previous history or behaviors you’d love your dog to work on. I want to make sure that your pet has the safest accommodations possible and that your mind is at ease knowing they are well taken care of and loved in your absence.

A typical day

I love taking doggos on walks, and there are some fantastic trails near where I live. You’ll get plenty of pictures of them frolicking in nature!

I work from home, so having a doggie guest is great, as it gives me a reason to leave my desk and go take a walk :)
