Treating Your Dog Like My Own 🐾

Hi! I’m Sara, a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of a 13-year-old Maltese who truly is my world. Having a senior dog has taught me patience, attention to detail, and how important it is to treat every pet with genuine care while keeping their routine consistent. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative, so you always feel at ease while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long, active walks or a slower, more relaxed pace, I tailor each visit to their energy level and personality. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I don’t take that lightly. My goal is simple: to make sure your dog is happy, safe, and well looked after - and that you have total peace of mind.

Sara was an excellent sitter! This was the first stay away from home for Lily, our beagle we adopted six weeks ago. Lily is an anxious girl, afraid of new people and settings, but Sara and her dog Louie made Lily feel right at home. She settled in well and was content snoozing and lounging around with Louie. I highly recommend Sara as a sitter. She is accommodating and cares about your pet’s specific needs.

Sara is everything you want in a dog walker! She took amazing care of my two dogs and had great communication. My dogs loved her and I would definitely have Sara take care of them again.

Sara is a most caring, responsible dog owner !! Her “baby” is her best friend and she easily handles taking the best care of him— walks, interactions with other dogs in parks, hiking, trips, etc. THE BEST💕

Sara is truly one of a kind. She loves her own dog more than anything in the world, and it shows in the way she cares for every pup she meets—especially my dog, Reese. She always treats Reese like her own, with so much patience, kindness, and genuine affection. Sara is incredibly attentive and caring, making sure Reese feels safe, happy, and loved every time they’re together. I always have complete peace of mind knowing Reese is in her hands. I couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their dog as if it were her own.

I have known Sara since we were children, and she has always been a person with high morals and values. This became even more clear when her dog Louie was born. For the past 13 years of his life, Sara has treated Louie like a member of the family and her own child. Louie is always by her side, and he probably has more frequent flyer miles than I do. Whether it is keeping him perfectly healthy and groomed, or feeding him only the best raw diet, Sara is always on her A-game when it comes to pets, and I highly recommend her for any pet caregiver position.

Schedule

Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to be available for walks and visits throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m available for drop-ins, extended visits, and overnight stays as needed. As a dog owner myself, caring for additional pets is something I genuinely love and prioritize.

Safety, trust & environment

I offer in-home care focused on a calm, cozy environment where dogs can relax and feel at ease. My gentle Maltese is a great companion, and I tailor care to each dog’s routine, whether they prefer to roam or be crated.

Pets

A typical day

Fun activities include walks around the neighborhood, playtime with toys, and light games like fetch or tug. For more active dogs, I’ll add longer walks or extra play sessions, while calmer dogs can enjoy relaxed time and lots of cuddles.

Tell me about your dog’s daily routine, personality, and what makes them happiest. I also like to know feeding schedules, any special needs, and how they interact with other dogs so I can make them feel as comfortable as possible.
