We love animals and the outdoors!!!
Pet care experience
My name is Sara. Me and my husband, Aaron, moved to Portland a little 2 years ago. We have absolutely loved it here so far! We both grew up around animals. I grew up in a small, western Idaho farming community with all sorts of different animals. Aaron grew up in the city with cats and dogs. We love the outdoors. Our summers consist of hiking, camping and river rafting. We have spent many hours researching the hikes around Portland and do a different hike most weekends (rain, snow, or sun). I am excited to do more investigating and explore the beautiful dog friendly parks around the city and close to home. I know Woodstock Park, Brentwood park, and Mt Scott Park are all very close to home. We have an 17 year old cat, named marbles, who is declawed and has spent most of her life with rambuncious Boston Terriors, Bruiser and Bane.She gets along just fine with other animals. She is totally mellow and (in true kitty style) does her best to ignore us all! Ha! We have our adorable Boston Terrier, Bane, too! He is 15 months and a little ball of energy. He LOVES playing with the big boys (dogs) and making new friends. We are excited for the oportunity to meet you and your pet! What makes me unique: -I have a very flexible schedule. -I like being outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of exercise. -I will have only one dog at a time staying with us, giving your pet plenty of attention. -We have a fenced back yard, so besides the park, your pet can play outside, leash free. -I can come to your house. -I am available year round.
Reviews
Sara is the absolute best!!!! She visits our dogs daily and goes above and beyond every day! She takes our pups to the park, brings them treats and toys, and sends the cutest photos. Sara is an animal lover to the core— it’s so obvious in how she much she loves and cares for our pups. 100% recommend!!
Henry (our English Bulldog) had a wonderful time with Sara. Sara is very prompt and responsive via text. She was easy to coordinate with and really cares about providing the best care for your dog. She has a very clean home and provided several pictures while we were away. We will for sure use Sara again!
Sara was great watching my pup Cruz when I went out of town for vacation. Her home is clean and she has a big beautiful yard for playing fetch. I love that she only boards 1 dog at a time, so I know my fur baby isn't getting neglected. Sara, sent me pictures every day, and even a map of the routes she took Cruz on for walks. Thank you Sara for being so responsive and professional!!
Sara was responsive, attentive, and very professional in providing Delilah's care. Her regular updates and images provided a clear sense of the kind of care that D was receiving which was akin to what I would provide. I'd highly recommend Sara as a sitter.

I don’t work so dogs in my care get plenty of attention and outside time. When we are not home, cats and dogs are kept separate by baby gate or crate. Before leaving, I always make sure there is nothing left out that could harm.
Information Sara R. would like to know about your pet
I would prefer a phone consultation and a courtesy meet and greet so that I might be able to meet you and your pet. -How old is your dog? -What breed? -Does your dog get along with kids? We have an 11 year old. -Do you prefer on leash, or off leash. -Does your dog have special requirements? medications? -What is your dog's daily routine? -Is your dog potty trained? -Is your dog ok with other animals (dogs or cats) and people? -What are your dog's eating habits? -Is your dog ok to be left alone for a maximum of 2 hours while staying at our house?
A typical day
I really enjoy being outside, year round. I love to go on walks, runs, and hikes. And typically do one of these activities in the mornings. At the park or in our fenced back yard, fetch is a must do activity after lunch. There are several dog-friendly parks near by and I take my own doggy to one of them in the evenings, weather permitting (bane does not like cold or rain). Then night time cuddles
