Highlights
Pet care experience
A loving home for your pup!
I work from home and keep a flexible schedule as an independent contractor, which allows me to give lots of extra attention and love to the dogs who vacation at my home! I recently bought a cottage with a fenced backyard in a very quiet, family-oriented neighborhood. My boyfriend travels frequently for work but when he is home, he dotes on our furry guests and is a great bonus human. I have been dog sitting for 7 years, and it’s a blessing that brings me immeasurable joy. Whether it’s long walks for active breeds, couch surfing for potato breeds, administering medications, crating, or pup cup field trips, I take pride in caring for your dogs in the way they need to be cared for. All have free access to any couch or bed they’d like! I do not have any pets of my own, and default to watching one dog at a time so I can shower them with individual attention! However I will gladly watch up to 3 dogs from the same household.

Ratings and reviews
Sara was absolutely wonderful! She watched our two dogs overnight while we hosted an event, and we felt completely comfortable having them in her care. She was very communicative and kept us updated, and both dogs looked so happy, relaxed, and comfortable with her. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for while we were busy hosting. We would absolutely trust Sara with them again and highly recommend her!
We would highly recommend Sara! She took great care of our dog! We appreciated the frequent updates and pictures.
We were traveling through the Nashville area and needed a place for our senior dog to stay. As a very anxious dog family, we had a lot of questions. From the beginning, Sara was incredibly responsive, patient, and accommodating. She took the time to answer every question and never once made us feel like we were being overly worried or difficult. Her home was a perfect fit for our senior girl, who has some mobility limitations. We are so grateful for her kindness, communication, and flexibility. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone, especially those with senior dogs or anyone feeling nervous about leaving their pet. She sent us many updates and knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands gave us tremendous peace of mind.
Sara was phenomenal with our doggo, Ollie! She sent several updates with pictures each day, and Ollie seemed like he had a great time too. We would definitely book with Sara again, and would recommend using her as well.
Such a great stay for Shay! Sara accommodated the first time visit on short notice and took wonderful care of Shay. Sara is easy to communicate with and kept me up to date on how Shay was doing. Thanks again!
Sara was so welcoming to our doggo into her home. She was conscientious and thoughtful of her unique personality and needs. Would highly recommend!

Schedule
I work for myself, from home, so whenever I have a dog guest, their comfort and care becomes my main priority! I love going for walks and runs throughout the day, which is always better with a pup by my side.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I treat all animals as if they were my own, with lots of walks, snuggles, and love. I take owners’ instructions seriously, and provide frequent text and photo updates.
A typical day
A typical day consists of whatever your pup is used to at home - I always feed and walk them at whatever time they are used to being fed and walked. With the owner’s permission, I love to take the dogs for pup cup field trips!
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsSpayed and neutered dogs onlyNo females in heatTakes only 1 client at a timeSara can host up to 2 pets per night
- Please share if your dog struggles with anxiety or is especially vocal - it helps me care for them better! The more details about your pup’s disposition and routine, the better! Many owners are afraid of being overbearing by providing “too much info,” but I promise there is no such thing!
