Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced in-home dog care
I’ve been a lifelong dog owner and truly believe that our pets are part of the family, not just animals we care for. They are companions we love and build our lives around. I’m a structured, reliable caregiver who also brings a warm, playful energy to every dog I look after. Whether your dog is a high energy puppy, a steady adult, or a senior who needs a gentler pace, I’m comfortable and experienced with all ages and personalities.

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog will be staying in a true family home. We have a fenced in dog run for safe outdoor time. Four friendly resident dogs (2 small JRTs, 2 Labradors) who are well socialized and three dog loving kids (16, 8, 6) who understand how to respectfully interact with animals. Because of this, your dog will have a great mix of structure, play, and companionship, but I’m also very mindful of individual needs. If your dog prefers space, a slower introduction, or a quieter environment, I can absolutely accommodate that.
Ratings and reviews
Excellent experience! Our dog, Bailey, had a great stay. Such a dog loving family!!
Sarah was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our dogs and kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was very patient, caring, attentive, and followed all of our instructions perfectly.
Sarah clearly loves dogs and Coco loves her.
Sarah is wonderful with my girls, as is the rest of her family. She dotes on them like they are her own and my girls are happy and relaxed when they are there. Sarah also is a gem of a person and so helpful and thoughtful. A+ in my book
Sarah is a great dog walker. She is very kind and personable. I would highly recommend Sarah.
Sarah is amazing. So responsive, so responsible and so lovely. She housesat for us for almost two weeks, caring for our dog and our elderly cat. I cannot recommend her enough. A true angel.

Schedule
I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care throughout the day, not just quick check ins. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your dog feels comfortable and at ease.

- Every dog is different, and the more I know ahead of time, the better I can make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. I love learning the little details that help me care for your dog the way you do. Here are a few things that are especially helpful for me to know: Is your dog more playful and social, or do they prefer a quiet environment? Do they warm up quickly, or take a little time to feel comfy? Since we’re a home with both dogs and kids, it’s helpful to know how your dog typically interacts in this setting. What do they eat, when do they eat, and are there any quirks (like guarding or picky eaters)? Are they on a schedule? Do they signal when they need to go out? Do they love to run and play, or are they more of a lounge and snuggle? Where do they typically sleep? Crate, dog bed, your bed? Whatever they’re used to, I try to keep things consistent! Any medications, allergies, or things I should keep an eye on? Does anything make them nervous? Feel free to send their favorite bed, toy, or blanket. I know that familiar things can make a big difference. My goal is simple, make your pup feel safe, and as close to “home” as possible.
