I spoil your dog like grandma would
Pet care experience
Dogs have been a part of my life for a long time. I grew up surrounded by them, but I was lucky enough to work with them as well. I've worked in a Veterinary Hospital as a Kennel Attendant, as well as volunteered at dog rescues where I helped with rehabilitating dangerous large dogs. I've also worked at a doggie daycare center, where I was responsible for assigning dogs to play groups and monitoring their behavior to ensure their safety. Because of this, I've learned to effectively monitor dog behavior and body language to interpret when they are comfortable, scared, or need to be separated from other dogs. I have experience giving medications and insulin injections, and know how to be careful with older or injured dogs with limited mobility.
Reviews
Sarah took great care of our dog and was super responsive. Luckily our dog still wanted to come home after her vacation at Sarah’s.
Sarah was absolutely Wonderful!! We took our 10 month old puppy to her home for doggie daycare. She was extremely welcoming, her home is great with a very large fenced in backyard and her dog Ellie was excited to play with Stella! Sarah has so much experience and Love for animals and it definitely shows! I wish we lived in the area, we would absolutely be regulars....but it's nice to know when we do come back that we have someone contact! Thanks Sarah!! You made our time in the Finger Lakes even more special! Mike & Angie Devinny
Sarah has taken care of so many different pets over the years, from owls to hedgehogs, bearded dragons, chickens, and so many more, many of which were not her own. More importantly, she loves and cares for dogs as she does her own- like family.

I have a fenced in yard for your dog to sprint around, and can take them for walks or swims at the nature trails near my house. In my home your pup is welcome to lounge on the furniture with me, and could follow me around throughout the day if they were feeling clingy (like my dog). Dog toys are always scattered around the house, and your pup can help themselves. Eleanor, my poodle, will always be with us, and she LOVES other dogs. She will beg to play with them, and is sure to give your pup some good exercise if they are willing to play along. Have an older dog? Don't worry, she gives up pretty quickly once she realizes her efforts are futile.

Information Sarah B. would like to know about your pet
I definitely need to know if your dog does not get along well with other dogs, and if your dog has any medical conditions. I will also want to know how recently your dog has received a flea/tick preventative please. :) I want to make sure bugs aren't being passed around!
A typical day
I can take dogs on walks around town, through Ontario Pathways, or we could go splash around in the creek down my street. We also can run around in my fenced back yard. Dog toys are scattered around the house thanks to my dog Eleanor, so there will be plenty to share. If your dog is more like me, we can spend time cuddling on the couch watching movies, or lounging in the kiddie pool in the yard when it's hot. There's always lots of play time with Eleanor to help get wiggles out!

Availability
I work from home, so I would be by your dog's side all day. Between virtual meetings and over lunch, it's time for walkies or running around in the yard. My evenings and weekends are free, which means time for trail walks, creek swimming, or just lounging watching movies with me.
