From the day I was brought home from the hospital I’ve had a furry companion. Throughout my life I’ve grown up with a dog by my side every step of the way. I began rescue work at the age of five, volunteering actively with Basset Hound Rescue of Southern California where I worked as a child tester. Even at such a young age I understood dogs on a personal level and could read them enough that the organization trusted me to be around their animals. As I grew up, my responsibilities also grew, until I became the dominant leader of BHRSC’s adolescent volunteers. I assisted in my mother to train her Rottweiler, who is her Emotional Support Animal. He is also in the process of his Therapy dog training to achieve his certification to work directly with Veterans. Since I was young I’ve been watching the neighborhood dogs while their owners were out of town. This includes, but isn’t limited to a deaf Great Dane, an aggressive chihuahua mix and an excitable German Shepherd Lab mix. Leaving is never an easy thing to do, even if the destination is a picture of paradise. Your best friend is staying behind and you’ll always wonder what they’re doing and how they are. I know exactly how important your dog is to you, believe me. I’ll tell you everything and answer any and all questions you may have on your furry sidekick. You’ll receive adorable photos, random videos and all the updates you can handle over call or text. A dog is more than ‘just a dog’. They’re a best friend, they’re a shoulder, they’re somebody that sees you through the highs and the lows of life. At least that’s how I see my dog and I’ll look at yours the exact same way. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. ** prices may fluctuate based extensive care requirements ** ** required vaccinations for all services provided: rabies **

Sarah F. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Sarah F. was a life-saver for our children retriever during an emergency. 11/10 definitely recommend!
I can’t say enough about Sarah. On the initial “ get to know you“” visit, our cat was playing hard to get by hiding in our dresser. She had climbed into a drawer without our knowing. Sarah helped us look for almost an hour before we had to give up. On the day Sarah came to actually care for our dog and cat, Sarah was right on time and took wonderful photos of the fun they were having. If your schedules work, I would highly recommend you use her.
Sarah is great! She easily won over our anxious, sometimes aggressive dog and our grumpy old cat. She has excellent communication and takes pride in how she cares for her animals. She's a good one!
We were only in town a couple days.. one of which we were on the mountain. Sarah came over late night to meet them and make them (and us) feel comfortable for the next day when she came over. She walked em even with the drizzling rain and cold. Have great detailed reports and lots of pics. Very communicative and clearly enjoys animals. So helpful thank you!!
Sarah is amazing! We have a dog with fear based aggression and anxiety and she was patient and so understanding with her. By the end, we had wagging tails and she had even eaten!

- I’ve no breed, size or gender preferences. Though I hope you don’t mind A LOT of questions. I want to know anything and everything I can about the dog. Below is a list of the general questions I ask, though I will ask more as I obtain more information on the dog. 01) Is the dog up to date on all their vaccinations? If no, what vaccinations are they missing? 02) How does your dog react to new people? Are they good with kids? If so, what age groups? 03) Is your good with other dog? Does your dog have size, gender or age preferences? 04) Does your dog use something other than a collar to be walked? (i.e. harness, gentle leader) 05) Does your dog pull while being walked? If so, are they allowed to? 06) Is there anything that your dog doesn’t like or that makes them uncomfortable? ( i.e. water, vacuumes, wind, thunderstorms) 07) Is your dog spayed/neutered? If so, was it recent (within a month)? 08) How does your dog react to intact males? 09) Does your dog display any signs of aggression? If so, what provokes it? 10) If you have any other animals in the house, do they get along well or do they need to be separated? 11) Is your dog on any form of medication? If so, how often do they need it? What is the procedure you generally go through to give them their meds? 12) What’s your dog’s favorite toy? 13) What is their diet like at home? Are they allowed to have human food or is it strictly kibble? 14) Has your dog had any form of surgery? What caused it? Is there anything I need to be on the lookout for? 15) Is your kennel trained? If so, how do you get them into their kennel?
