I own a candle business that gives me the privilege of working from home most days. I do other gig jobs when I can on the side, but currently I am also a full-time remote student so I am mostly home between school work, being a single mom, and making candles! I’d love to have your pup join our family time like they’re one of our own.

I am flexible with walking needs, happy to explore dog friendly places or take them on hikes when time & weather allows. I love to snuggle and take pictures of your pups as photography has always been a hobby of mine- so don’t be surprised if you receive random pictures throughout our time together!

Information Sara O. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog requires a special diet, treatment, has restrictions for activity/foods, and what to expect from their past and current behaviors. I prefer dogs that are mid-size to small since my apartment is on the smaller side, but will make it work if it can! Don’t be shy to reach out with any questions or requests :)

A typical day

I have a small (8 year old) dog at home to keep your fur babies company, a small gated dog park to run and sniff around in at my complex, and I live close to Garden of the Gods dog park so I enjoy going there for some off-leash zoomies! I love to play, teach tricks, and walk the dogs around the neighborhood! My 11 year old also loves dogs so your fur babies will get lots of love here!

Pet care experience

I was the one to call in the neighborhood for dog sitting starting at 10 years old and never lost my love for the pups! Family and friends rely on me to watch their furry children and I am honored to be their first choice. I hope you find comfort knowing your fur babies will be loved as my own!

Sara was amazing! She was easy to connect and coordinate with. She took great care of my pups, they were nice and tired after picking them up which was very much appreciated after a busy day of moving. I highly recommend Sara for pet sitting!

Sara was so accommodating and flexible taking our pup last minute. She was super attentive and patient with our 10 month old. Can't recommend her enough!

This was our first time using Rover. Sara was awesome and we will absolutely use her again next time we’re in the area! Incredibly quick to respond and excellent communication throughout the whole experience from meeting up beforehand and communications about the needed schedule flexibility on our end. She was on time for both meetings and her own dog is so very sweet. We’re so pleased they got along and Sara got them out and about on a beautiful day as well. Now we’re on a long drive home and our pup is actually sleeping in our car, something she never does, so we know she had a wonderful time playing with Sara’s dog. We’ll be using Sara again and passing her info along to friends that frequently visit the area as well. Thank you, Sara!
