Your pet’s home away from home
Pet care experience
Hello, I’m Sara. I live in a spacious and comfortable home in Cleveland Heights, and I work from a home office, so I’m home most of the time. I have 2 dogs, a Husky rescue, neutered, who is very laid back and calm, and an Irish Wolfhound rescue, also well socialized and gentle. Both are very well socialized to people and other dogs. We go on multiple walks per day. I love dogs - mine are part of my family and treated as such - yours would be too while in my home. I allow my dogs (and yours if desired) on my furniture and to sleep in bed if they prefer. I’m comfortable caring for any size dog or breed and am experienced and confident in handling large or giant breeds. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet. I work full time, Monday - Friday during the day. I have dogs with me while working and take frequent breaks for walks around the block. After work and on weekends, I have extra time to attend to our boarders - often bringing them on hikes, car rides, or with me for other activities. I do not have a fenced yard but will never let your dog outside off leash. I take frequent walks with dogs. My dogs are mellow and happy to keep your dog company or leave him/her alone. I also have a 13 year old who is respectful to all animals and loves attending to our visiting dogs. I mirror the rules a dog has at home - if permitted on furniture at home, that’s fine here too. For boarders, your dog can sleep wherever you’d like - if he or she sleeps in bed with family members, that’s fine here too. *** Please be advised that because my 88 year old dad lives in my home, I cannot accommodate high energy dogs or those who jump on people.
Reviews
Sara took care of my dog for a little over a week while I was on vacation. Her daily notes were thorough and thoughtful, as were the questions she asked during our meet and greet. She made my dog part of her family during the stay, which is exactly what I was looking for.
We are totally comfortable leaving Laci with Sara! She is quick to respond to our communications and sends us pictures and videos. Laci gets regular walks and is happy spending time and playing with Sara's daughter who even sleeps with her! We will definitely use Sara again.
Our dog loves to stay with Chubb any chance he gets.
Sara was excellent taking care of our pup during the day. Attention to detail!

Safety, trust & environment
I do not have a fenced in yard, and I never let dogs out unless they are on a leash and fully supervised. I walk dogs often, 2 at a time, and if your dog is new to me, initially 1:1 with me, and later paired with one of my very calm dogs if your dog is open to that. I feed individually and supervised. Of your dog has a health emergency, I will call you first, then your back up person. I have pet poison control information on my refrigerator, as well as my vet, and the closest animal hospital. I send a questionnaire for you to fill out once booking is complete. It includes health information, allergies, any medications needed, your contact information, a back up contact person, and your vet’s information. I take safety as seriously as I do for my own daughter and pets.

Information Sara L. would like to know about your pet
No breed preference, and mixed breeds welcome. As long as your dog has no history of aggression, we will be fine. I would want to know your dog’s comfortability with other dogs, whether he/she has any health concerns or allergies, and what your dog’s care instructions are. Once you book, I’ll send a questionnaire to you so that I have details need to provide optimum care.
A typical day
We take longer walks in the morning and again in the early evening. I’ll take your dog out additionally as often as he or she is used to. My home office is on the first floor of my home, large and comfortable, surrounded by windows and French doors with sturdy dog proof screen doors. There are dog beds, water bowls, and baskets of dog toys all around. Your dog will be with me during the day while I’m working. If your dog eats during the day, I can accommodate and will separate him/her while eating for everyone’s safety. I’ll feed on your dog’s normal schedule with the food you provide, and I always feed dogs separately. I will meet your dog’s activity level- playing and active vs providing a cozy space for napping. I’ll provide photos and updates on your dog while you are away.

Availability
I generally get up at 7am, a bit later on weekends. In the morning, I take boarders (unless their health restricts activity) on longer walks. I tend to be home all the time when I have visiting dogs or cats, and in the event that I need to run out to the grocery, I leave an adult in charge l. IWe talked short walks throughout the day with longer walks late afternoon and before bedtime.
