Sarah was absolutely amazing with Turner while we were away for a week! From the moment we dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. She sent regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind, and she was always quick to answer any questions. It’s clear that Sarah genuinely loves dogs and treats them like family. Her backyard is a dream for pups, with plenty of space to play and even water games to keep them entertained. Honestly, Turner was on his own little vacation! One of the best parts was seeing how much fun Turner had with Sarah’s dog, Kona. They are truly best friends and spent the week playing together. It was wonderful knowing he had both a caring sitter and a canine companion. I couldn’t recommend Sarah more highly. She went above and beyond to make sure Turner was happy, safe, and loved while we were away. We will absolutely be booking with her again!

Doggy Day Care • Jan 10, 2026

Sarah is truly an exceptional pet sitter and we cannot recommend her highly enough. She cared for our dog Turner in her own home every day for four weeks while I was overseas visiting family and my husband was working, and the level of love, professionalism, and dedication she showed was extraordinary. Turner came into her care recovering from bronchitis, and thanks to Sarah’s 25 years of experience with dogs, she was incredibly vigilant and consistent with his medication and overall health. She kept us constantly updated and gave us so much peace of mind with clear communication and frequent photos. We always knew exactly how Turner was doing. She went above and beyond to make Turner feel at home, giving him his own bed, toys, and a loving, calm environment. Turner also struggles with separation anxiety, and under Sarah’s care and guidance he made huge progress — even with leash walking, which was a big win for him! She took him on multiple walks every day, and he came home happy, relaxed, and excited to go back to her house, which says everything. I truly cannot express how grateful we are to Sarah for taking such beautiful care of a precious member of our family. If you are looking for someone you can completely trust with your dog’s wellbeing, safety, and happiness, Sarah is the one. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her!

Safety, trust & environment

In my spacious, pet-friendly home, I provide professional and attentive care tailored to each animal’s needs. I offer walks throughout the day, a calm environment with playful pup of my own, and the ability to separate multiple pets by room for safety or comfort. I can crate your pet upon request, maintain routines, monitor behavior closely, and ensure a clean, secure, and stress-free stay. Your pet receives reliable, compassionate care as if they were my own.

Pets

A typical day

We will definitely enjoy my pet friendly backyard. Doggy pools, interactive sprinklers, balls of many sizes and of course a few tug ropes. I always enjoy their happy smiles as they roam about and playing a bit of fetch if they like. In the house, we can always lounge around and watch tv, generally we will take a walk in the morning.
