Dependable and Active!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Sara. I have my own dog, Alice, who is an Australian Cattle Dog, and have been volunteering with various rescues for 4+ years. I also have experience dog sitting at owners' homes and at the Red Lion Inn, in Stockbridge. My favorite thing to do is taking a nice long hike with a pup, and then come back to the couch and chill out. I offer boarding and daycare on the weekends. I work a full time day job Monday through Friday, so my drop in visits are available from 4:30pm and on during the week. Doggy manners are very important to me. If your dog isn't allowed to do something (get on the couch, put paws up on the counter, etc), it will be strictly enforced by me! This also applies to on the leash, as well. Gotta love polite dogs! :)

Sara came to our resort unit on Sunday before the sitting day we needed which was Thursday. There was some confusion as to the times she would be available. She did everything we asked and Charlie was left snoring comfortably. We would recommend Sara and will be using her in the future.

Sara is so lovely! Great with people, great with dogs. She was punctual ( actually a little early) which I really appreciate .Maddie felt comfortable with her immediately. Will definitely book her again.

Sara is an amazing dog sitter! She watched and help care for my special needs dog, Lexi. Lexi had severe stomach disease and had to stick to a strict diet & take medication. Sara is patient and loving with furry family members. Sara really is great - she's up to playing and walking, as well as just hanging out - whatever the dog feels like doing! I wouldn't hesitate to leave my dog with Sara for any amount of time!

Sara is a very caring and kind person and Madge loved spending time with her. You can feel the positive energy when you meet Sara and that flows straight to your pet. She is wonderful!!!!!!

Information Sara M. would like to know about your pet

I love large dogs, but I will accept any dog that gets along with mine! It is important for me to know of any behavioral information, if your dog gets along with other dogs, dietary information if I am watching them overnight or need to administer any medication, special treats only, etc.

A typical day

Walks around the neighborhood in the morning, hikes at Kennedy Park, trips to the lake or for ice cream - depends on the weather and activity level of your dog!
