Dogs deserve a little vacation too!

Hi, I’m Sarah and I’m a lifelong Alaskan. I have a small dog of my own that will welcome your best friend as one of the pack! I grew up with pets, I’ve attended dog behavioral training and first aid courses, and there’s never been a time in my life when I didn’t have a dog. I have a fenced property with a big yard in a convenient midtown location. We’d love to have your dog stay with us!

Having peace of mind that your animals are in good hands is probably the biggest priority in finding care; every time I have booked with Sarah I have received reports on what my pup has been up to as well as several photos, I can not recommend her more highly for those looking for a sitter who will provide that confidence that your pet is being pampered and enjoying themselves in a home away from home!! She is communicative and experienced and every time I have gone back to her no matter how long it has been my Gizmo remembers where he is and is pulling me towards her door :)

Our overall experience with Sarah was very positive, and we're hoping she'll be available to board our Louie again in the future. Louie was happy and was well taken care of, with extra effort by Sarah to clean the "gunk" from Louie's eyes, which is a constant concern. Thank you, Sarah, for taking such care of Louie and for sending occasional pictures while we were away. We would highly recommend Sarah to care for others' fur babies. :)

Sarah watched my elderly pup a second time, while I was working away and, once again my girl was well cared for and returned happy. Sarah is very communicative, has a lovely space for boarders and I know my pup is in good hands with her!

Sarah takes great care of my dog everytime he stays with her. He is always happy and content at pickup. She provides great communication and a calm environment.

This was my dogs' second stay with Sarah and it was just as great as the first. My dogs were excited to be back at Sarah's house and came home happy and tired. Sarah was communicative and sent great pictures, even though it was a short stay. I definitely recommend Sarah's services and plan to book with her again in the future.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced property with a large yard for your dog to enjoy. Typically I don’t use crates unless requested by the owner and your pet is welcome to make themself at home. I also love taking photos so you can expect lots of pics of your pup while they’re staying with us.

Pets

A typical day

My dogs love to play and run around in my big backyard. We typically go for a nightly walk around the neighborhood to check out any new smells and there are several hiking trails nearby that we frequent on the weekends.

I’ve cared for senior dogs before and I’m familiar with their special needs. I’m also a pug mom so I have a particular love for pugs.
