Safety, trust & environment

In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make sure every dog gets the exercise and fresh air they need with daily walks, just like I do with my own pups. For dogs with limited mobility or who tire easily, I even have a wagon that I use to wheel them around so they can still enjoy the outdoors safely and comfortably, something I do often for my senior, three-legged dog. Inside my home, I provide a calm, structured environment. I have two crates available and can accommodate both crate trained dogs and those who prefer to free roam. I always take the time to understand each dog’s routine and personality so I can tailor their care, whether that’s sticking to a medication schedule, providing quiet time, or making sure they have plenty of play and affection. In a client’s home, I aim to follow your routines as closely as possible to keep your pup comfortable and stress free while you’re away. My top priority is always the safety, happiness, and well-being of your dog.

Information Sarah K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any kind of special needs! My older pup has needed a lot of medical assistance in the past year and I’ve had to give her injections and other daily medications. She’s also an amputee and needs a little extra help sometimes, so I completely understand how hard it can be to trust other people with your dog’s care when they’re medically dependent.

A typical day

My pups have a ton of toys and love to share them. My younger dog loves to chase, play tug, and run around with friends! I also have different puzzles that he loves.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands on experience caring for pups of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I currently have two amazing dogs of my own. Khloe is a resilient 11 year old that has overcome major medical challenges, including a leg amputation and daily medication routines, and Oakley is an energetic 2 year old who keeps life exciting! Because of my own dogs, I’m no stranger to giving medication (including injections), working with limited mobility or vision, and supporting senior pets with the extra care they need. Whether your dog is a bouncing puppy or a gentle senior, I’ll treat them like family with playtime and plenty of belly rubs. I’d love to help care for your furry friend while you’re away!

Through the duration of initial request to pickup, communication was always fast! I did receive photos of my pup while I was away. Most importantly I felt safe leaving my pup. Highly recommended!

Sarah did an amazing job watching my dog Reign! This was Reign’s second stay at her home, and her absolutely loves going there. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s cared for like family while I’m away. Sarah is reliable, caring, and clearly has a true love for animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets!
