With 5 dogs of my own, I’ve developed a well-organized routine that ensures all their needs are met. I feed my dogs twice a day, and each one gets plenty of playtime, walks, and potty breaks. Whether it's keeping up with their daily exercise or giving them personal attention, I’m used to managing multiple pets and ensuring they feel happy, healthy, and loved. I bring this same level of care and dedication to every pet I look after.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize the safety and comfort of every pet I care for, whether in my home or yours. My home is pet-friendly and designed to ensure a safe environment for dogs of all sizes. I make sure that all pets are kept in secure areas, especially during feeding times and walks. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your pet's routine, follow any special instructions, and maintain a clean, safe space. I also ensure that any areas where pets will be spending time are pet-proofed, offering peace of mind while you’re away.

Information Sarah D. would like to know about your pet

I always want to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and understood. Before caring for your pet, it’s helpful for me to know: Daily routines — feeding schedule, potty habits, sleep preferences Personality traits — what they love, what stresses them, and how they behave with new people or animals Medical needs — medications, allergies, sensitivities, or mobility issues Behavioral notes — leash reactivity, chewing habits, anxiety triggers, crate training, etc. Social preferences — how they do with other dogs, kids, or new environments Any house rules — furniture restrictions, crate requirements, or training cues you use Sharing these details helps me tailor my care and keep your pet happy, safe, and stress-free.

A typical day

I love making sure every pet has a fun, enriching experience while in my care. Depending on your pet’s personality and energy level, activities might include walks around the neighborhood, playtime in the yard, fetch, tug-of-war, puzzle toys, or gentle cuddle time for pets who prefer a calmer pace. I tailor activities to each pet’s needs, whether that’s extra exercise for energetic pups, mental stimulation for curious ones, or cozy relaxation time for more laid-back companions. My goal is to keep them happy, engaged, and feeling loved until you’re home again.

Sarah's love for animals runs deep. It's clear as day as soon as she interacts with any fur children. She is reliable, professional, and communicative. Her attention to detail in the wellness of animals is something to be admired. She may be new right now to this platform, but I have seen the care she provides for my pets, her pets, other friends' pets. I could not recommend her more. She will love your pets as her own.

Sarah has been watching my Shepard for years and is now part of their family too, including Christmas photos while I was traveling over the holidays. I highly recommend her services and they will love your pup just as much as you do!

If you want your pets to miss you while you’re gone, Sarah is not your girl. But if you want them to be properly spoiled and cared for beyond expectation, look no further. She will play any games they like, call them by their nicknames, shower them in treats, and love them like they’re her own. Sarah is comfortable around both dogs and cats (Yes she will even win over your grumpy cat that “doesn’t like anyone”). She has cared for puppies to senior pets and everyone in between and pays special attention to each pets’ accommodations and individual needs. She brings a warm and maternal energy that your pets will welcome in your absence.
