Sarah took such great care of Otto. She was great with him even though he can be a little shy at first with new people and gave regular updates and photos. Highly recommend!

Sarah was flexible and gracious, and she went out of her way to make our dog feel calm and welcome in her home. Our Havanese had a great stay with her over the long weekend!

Sarah did a great job spending two weeks with our St. Bernard! She sent updates and pictures and was super accommodating. We would use Sarah again in a flash!
