Pet care experience

Animal loving intuitive caretaker

Fur parents, vets, and animal welfare organizations can attest to my ability to care for any breed or size of dog. I have enjoyed caring for dogs for over 15 years now. I am dedicated to a creature's well being. I grew up with several dog breeds around me. I have taken dogs on light walks, hiking, on a beach, in the park, or I have just tossed the ball outside each day. In my childhood, I volunteered with a local zoo and taught other kids about wildlife. I also trained golden retrievers and learned from local vets. My life has always been full of creature love, dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, rabbits, birds, monkeys, tigers, and ground hogs. I truly love all animals.

I live in a community that loves pets so there’s always a lovely outdoor spot to go on a walk in as well as health and well being resources available.

Rocky loved hanging out with his friend Sara again while we went to a baseball game! Our pup has separation anxiety so it’s reassuring to know he’ll be in great hands and won’t be left while we’re away. Thanks again, Sara!

Sara was such an awesome friend for my dog, Charlie. She has amazing communication; she gave me ample reports on how he was doing, and sent pics/videos. She clearly has alot of love for Charlie and took such good care of him. It was a relieve knowing that Sara was taking care of my little guy and I was able to fully relax on vacation. Would 100% book again and recommend to a friend!

Rocky had another great stay with Sara! She was able to stay with him for a few days on short notice. Such a life saver! Thank you, Sara!

Sara took excellent care of our boy Rocky while we were out of town for a few days. She sent lots of updates and followed the care instructions we left. She’s also a very contentious house guest and left our home in perfect condition. Most importantly, Rocky loves her and we’d definitely love to book her in the future.

Sara was great and stuck to all our requests! She was easy to communicate with and made sure to send updates frequently. She gave our two dogs lots of hugs, pets and love. She took care a few house chores (mail) as well. Sara was very in tune with our dogs care and health. She even noticed our little girl piper licks a hot spot on her stomach. Sara took perfect care of our pups for over a week! We will definitely hire again next time. :-)
