Safety, trust & environment

How will I provide a safe and trusting environment for your pup? I have experience with many different situations and dogs personalities. I will tailor the service to meet the needs of the environment, client and pup.

Information Sara Z. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavior that needs to be accounted for. I have worked with purebred show dogs to abused puppy mill dogs. I will not shy away from any behavior and will work with them to have a positive experience with me. Ahead of time, I will need to know about your pup’s general personality and any trigger they may have. We would need to discuss type of visit and if any medications or special requests need to occur.

A typical day

Describe a typical day. How will I keep your pup busy? That will be completely decided by your pup’s needs and personality. I would love to play fetch for an hour, hike 2 miles or find the perfect spot to lay out a blanket and take a nap. So whatever you and your pup prefers/needs, we will make it happen.

Reliable Professional: Loves Dogs

Pet care experience

Hello there! I have taken care of dogs of every age and every personality since I was a child. I love every dog that I meet, I love animals in general and even have trained chipmunks in the past! I can’t wait to be friends with your pets! I can be available all day for events to help care for your pup! Just message me and we can make arrangements. I have had special needs dogs of my own and have researched extensively on dog behavior, training and psychology. Proven to efficiently work with dogs that are anxious or guarded towards new people. I know how to use body language and interaction to respect a dogs boundaries/insecurities and have helped clients work with their dogs to correct separation anxiety and other unwanted behaviors. So whether you have a perfect pup, a lil stinker or an anxious pup, I will be able to win them over and provide a nurturing experience for them.

Sara was amazing with our 3 big dogs. She was incredibly knowledgeable, relaxed and made our dogs feel comfortable, as well as the adults! We felt completely at ease. I am looking forward to booking Sara again!

Sara was fantastic with our two Frenchies! She took great care of them and kept us updated often, which made us feel at ease while out of town. Our home was also very well taken care of. We’d absolutely book her again and highly recommend her! Thank you, Sara!

Sara was wonderful with our Watson. We came home to a better behaved pup than when we left. We had to go to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. It was wonderful not to have to worry about our pup too since Sara takes such good care of him. Thank you Sara!

Sara was great with our golden doodle pup! It is wonderful to have someone you can trust to look after your fur baby.
