Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Sarah, and I am an animal lover to the core. I haven’t met one I didn’t like! I was a sitter with River for a little over 2 years, having completed over 600 bookings. With a large percentage of repeat guest and regulars. I took a hiatus from sitter right before the birth of my second human child. But a move to a bigger house, a third child, and a heart yearning for more pups, I’m thrilled to say has brought me back to sitting!! I’m so excited to meet your pup and you, and to give your furry family member a cozy, fun, loving place go hangout while you’re away. My home is shared with my wonderful and dog loving husband Sam, our 3 children, our dog Carl, our cat Miss Kitty, and a hamster named Oreo! Our 3 children, have been raised with dogs & cats their entire lives. They are also natural born animals lovers, and have a strong understanding of how to respectfully and kindly treat pets of all kinds. Growing up on a 57 acre farm nurtured my love for all animals. I have also cared for a wide variety of other pets and farm animals. As a young child I started rehabilitating orphaned and injured animals that neighbors would bring to me. As a longtime dog owner, I have experience caring for pups of all ages and sizes. As an experienced sitter I have cared for everything from 3lb Yorkies to a 200lb St Bernard! If your pup has special medical needs, we are more than happy to give them the special care and attention they need. I look forward to your visit! ~Sarah DAYCARE INFO: Daycare is Monday-Friday, you may select as many or as few days as you like.

Reviews
Sarah and her family were incredible with our dog, Yadi! She sent us regular updates and pictures to keep us informed, and is super attentive to the needs of the dog (and the owners!). We felt extremely comfortable leaving Yadi in her care and clean, safe home. Sarah’s kindness and competence shone through every step of the way. She was flexible with our timing too, which went above and beyond. I highly recommend Sarah and can’t imagine leaving Yadi with anyone else!
Sarah and her sister are very sweet and caring. She's also very flexible when it comes to drop off and pick up times. She always sent me pics of Lola and what they were up to. Would definitely recommend Sarah.
Love Sarah so much! She’s amazing with Theo and it was always great to have other dogs around for him to socialize with. 10 out of 10.
Iggy has been to daycare with Sarah and Hannah many time and had a great time! We were nervous at

In the summertime we make the most out of the nice weather by spending time outdoors, playing fetch, sniffing around the yard, and playing in the doggy pool on hot days! During the colder winter days, we play indoors and spend time snuggled on couches with warm blankets and movies!
