For daycare and overnight visits, we can go for walks or runs in local parks and the Arroyo Seco trails. They will receive treats and lots of affectionate attention, as well as potty breaks every 2 hours.

1-on-1 Care for your Small/Med Dog!

Pet care experience

Hello Friend! I'm excited to provide your pup with one-on-one care and attention. I work from home most days near the beautiful neighborhood of Bungalow Heaven in Pasadena. Your dog will have frequent play, walks, potty breaks, and snacks during doggy daycare or overnight boarding. As an avid jogger and hiker myself, I am more than happy to take your dog out for walks, jogs or hikes! I care about your pet's health and will ensure they have exercise and playtime during their time with me. I've lived with and cared for dogs most of my life. I'm that dorky stranger who will notice a stranger's adorable dog and ask to give it a hug. Your dog will receive lots of affection and attention from their new favorite sitter.

Sara provided multiple photos of her walk with Kona. She was punctual and very communicative. Highly recommend for dog walking!

Thank you for caring for Mia. It’s been hard to find someone with a caring touch and you clearly delivered.

Sara - THANK YOU for taking care of Mango! He was returned happy and safe and in good spirits! Typically, he tends to get anxious around new people but he was very calm and relaxed which means he must have really liked Sara. You did a wonderful job. 10/10 recommend! I will be rehiring you again! I think I found my forever pet sitter :)

When our timid Chiweenie met Sara for the first time instead of her usual barking and shivering, she walked right up and climbed into her lap. We were so relieved as we had arranged for Sara to watch Cleo for the entire weekend. She had a wonderful time being spoiled in her care. Sara is responsible, kind, easy to coordinate with and most importantly Cleo was happy. We would certainly call on Sara again to take care of our little pup!
