Pet care experience

Now Booking Hyde Park and Oakley!

Wags, warmth, and trust are at the heart of everything I do. With years of hands-on experience working with dogs in medical and enrichment settings, and a background in animal welfare, your pet will be in caring and capable hands. Saying dog care is my job is an understatement. I have devoted most of my life to understanding the behaviors and the care that goes into working with dogs. Each dog I meet has their own story, quirks, and comfort needs, and getting to know them is the best part of what I do. I am currently fostering a special needs pittie named Cayda Bug through Cincinnati Animal Care, and because of our incredible community, I have raised enough funds for her cherry eye-correction surgery. My resident dogs include a senior Husky and a Belgian Malinois puppy - both rescues. My senior loves her sofa and home cooked meals, while my puppy is a meat missile who can dig a garden to Narnia. I believe I am prepared for most situations, but each dog is special and unique, so there is always something to learn! I’m currently a full-time student with a flexible weekend schedule, ready to give your pup all of the attention and care they deserve. Now booking in Oakley and surrounding neighborhoods.

Sara did a fantastic job watching Cowboy. She was attentive, responsible, and consistently kept me updated on what Cowboy was doing throughout the day. I appreciated her clear communication and the way she checked in with photos and notes, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend Sara for anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care.

Sara came over to let Kobe out a few times over 2 days while I had to be in the office. She was timely, very communicative and I could tell Kobe enjoyed his time with her. She sent me loads of pictures and kept my mind at ease that he was happy to see her and hang out! Her notes were so helpful and absolutely perfect in letting me know how it went!
