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.

Ratings and reviews
Sarah was so wonderful all around -easy to communicate with, flexible, and clearly took such good care of my dog. Got photo updates through my dog's stay, it was obvious she loved staying with Sarah and her family!
Such a great experience for our two dogs. They spent a week with Sarah while we were on vacation. Would definitely go back. Great backyard dog run, full time care & overall awesome time!
Sarah is great with Cody. The photos she sent showed how comfortable he was with her, like they had become great friends.

Sarah has been amazing with my two rescue dogs. She is patient with them and they look forward to their walks with her.
Sarah provided phenomenal house sitting care for our anxious dog. She was very reliable and responsive and calmed our nerves with multiple photos and updates throughout the week. Highly recommend!

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.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
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.
Pets
A typical day
Your pup will be part of our daily routine. They won’t just be watched. They will be part of a loving home. Mornings start with outdoor time in our fenced dog run, giving everyone a chance to stretch, play, and settle into the day. After that, we transition into an indoor routine with fresh water, breakfast (if applicable), and plenty of attention. Because I work from home, your dog is never left alone for long stretches. My workday allows me to stay present and attentive, with natural breaks built in for bathroom breaks and outdoor time, play time, tons of socializing, and my favorite, snuggles and snacks! The dogs love to relax nearby while I work, with plenty of cozy spots for napping, hanging out with me, or playing with the other dogs if they are up for it! Midday and afternoon is outdoor time, light play, and a walk. Evenings are when my house comes alive and social. My family comes home, which means lots of extra attention and snuggles. Lots of wagging tails always at the door! This all said, every pup is different. I’m very mindful of each dog’s needs. I want to make sure our hyper friends get a chance to play, wiggle, and burn energy. Our chill or older friends get space and a quieter pace, and new pups are always introduced thoughtfully to ensure everyone feels comfortable.
