Your Pup Becomes Part of Our Family
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.

Ratings and 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.

Schedule
I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I would be by your dog's side all day. Because of this it can be time for walkies or running around in the fenced yard basically any time doggo needs it. The door to the yard connects to the main living room, so if they want to bounce between being inside and outside it's easy to do so. My son and I also enjoy going for stroller walks around the neighborhood, so doggo gets to tag along with us for that as well to get some sniffs in.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard for your dog to sprint around, and can take them for walks around the neighborhood. If your pup still gets bored we can take a car ride and go for some walks on nearby nature trails. 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. For boarding, dogs also sleep in the same bedroom as me so they will not be alone overnight. (Exceptions being the dog may sleep in a separate room if they have potty issues, as the bedroom is carpeted.) My standard poodle Eleanor will always be with us, and will occasionally want to play as well. She is typically pretty mellow (after initial meeting) and doesn't run around much, but occasionally she finds a dog she clicks with and will want to play chase with them around the yard if they reciprocate with her. Have an older dog? Don't worry, she is just as happy to lay around with them. ***We do have a baby in the home, which is important to note. Baby is never allowed to touch the guest doggos, and is never left unattended with your dog EVER. We may temporarily keep baby and dog separated in different rooms via a baby gate if the baby is crawling around as we get to know your dog and their reaction to the baby. I am very diligent when it comes to ensuring the safety and comfort of your dog while in the same house with a baby, and their interactions will be monitored and in most cases limited. If you know your dog is reactive to small children, please kindly understand our family home is not a good fit for them.
Pets
A typical day
We are a pretty calm and laid back home. Pups are welcome to cuddle with us while watching movies, and then go for a run in the back yard. We can play ball or with other toys as much as their heart desires. Chew ice cubes, chase bubbles, whatever floats their boat. If it's hot we have a kiddie pool the dogs can splash around in. We can go for a walk around the neighborhood, or for a car ride, or on a nature trail walk if they are getting bored. What we do will very much depend on what your pup wants to do. We aren't anything fancy, but we will provide a place where your pup can feel safe, comfortable, and part of a family while you are away.

- I definitely need to know if your dog does not get along well with other dogs or small children, 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!
