Daily pet care is already part of my life — walks, enrichment, time outside, and being present with dogs. It fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy having that rhythm throughout the week. I make sure every dog gets individual attention and structure, not rushed visits.

Safety, trust & environment

I keep things low-stress and routine-focused so your dog feels safe and understood. In your home, I follow your instructions exactly — feeding, walks, training cues, meds, and any quirks I should support. I keep the space tidy and make sure your dog gets a mix of movement, enrichment, and calm time. At my place, the vibe is calm and cozy. I build the day around walks, sniffing breaks, mental stimulation, and quiet rest. I stay attentive to body language, energy levels, and what helps each dog feel grounded. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re with someone who gets them.

Information Sara M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know anything that helps me care for your dog the way you do — their routine, energy level, quirks, feeding schedule, reactivity, medication needs, and how they do with new people or dogs. The more I know upfront, the smoother and safer their stay will be.

A typical day

I love mixing physical exercise with mental enrichment. That can look like structured walks, scent-sniffing “explorer laps,” puzzle toys, practicing basic cues, fetch, or human-supervised sun-bathing. Every dog gets a mix of fun and calm time based on what keeps them happiest.

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my entire life — from tiny Toy Poodles to big ridgebacks who think they’re lap dogs — so caring for them is second nature. I genuinely love figuring out what makes each dog feel safe and happy. Some want to hike, walk, sniff every tree in the neighborhood, or accompany me to a dog-friendly coffee shop. Others just want a quiet couch day and someone to lean against. I can do both. My labradoodle is the world’s friendliest sidekick and loves having company. I have experience with the full spectrum: puppies who need constant engagement, older dogs who need slow steps and medication, and everything in between.

Sara provided the best updates and tiny anecdotes for my dog Henry. Detailed enough that I felt comfort knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely hire Sara again!

Sara was such a wonderful dog sitter for my boy, Ollie! She was so accommodating, especially when I had to change drop off times because of my erratic work schedule. I had absolutely no complaints, and Ollie’s definitely enjoyed playing with both her and her dog, Banksy!
