Pet care experience
Hi there! A total dog lover since childhood but not quite ready to adopt my own, I use services like Rover and volunteering to help out follow animal lovers and spend quality time with pups. I have several years of experience as a dog-boarding host and am familiar with getting to know new dogs and accommodating all the quirks. I have volunteered at Family Dog Rescue while living in San Francisco, honing my skills in dog safety and socialization. I also volunteer at Pet’s Landing LA, offering services for pets and their owners on Skid Row. Whether your pup is older, active, shy, nervous or in need of some TLC, rest assured they'll be safe and happy under my care. I work from home while my boyfriend goes into the office and I’m available for boarding, day care and walking. Feel free to request a meet and greet or check the calendar for my availability.
Reviews
Sarah made everything so easy, and my puppy was happy and healthy upon return! Great with communication and photos too.
Sarah took great care of our dog. He was clearly very comfortable and happy with her and we absolutely plan to book more dog sitting with Sarah in the future.
Sarah was amazing with our dog! This was our first time leaving our dog with a pet sitter. As soon as we arrived with our dog, it was clear that Sarah was very experienced with taking care of dogs. She waited for our dog to approach her and let the dog sniff her first. She asked us a lot you questions and clearly wanted to make our dog feel comfortable. She asked us if we wanted frequent updates and pictures or not. She sent us pictures and we could see that our dog was happy and cared for. We highly recommend Sarah!!
Our first time with a dog sitter ever, and we are so happy we picked Sarah! She was thorough, asked a few questions, and I could tell our dog loved her time with Sarah. Sarah took Chili out for a few excursions (hike, beach and to a cafe) and we are so grateful for the stimulation for our dog! Thank you Sarah, will definitely be booking again.

I live in a loft with a small enclosed patio so your pup can get some fresh air whenever they’d like to. Note that our upstairs has white carpet so always appreciate if you can provide paw wipes :)

Information Sarah H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has food allergies or medical conditions. Also if they have behavioral quirks such as leash aggression, barking, separation anxiety or other triggers. Your dog will always be the only one under my care at one time but let me know if they prefer not to socialize with other dogs on walks, parks, etc. ***Please note that my building does not allow dogs over 30 pounds.***
A typical day
We love taking walks to explore the neighborhood, working from dog friendly cafes and watching movies on the couch. Happy to cater activities based on your dogs preferences!
