We would absolutely use Sarah again. She was so kind and compassionate. You could tell she really enjoyed taking care of our cat. She sent us plenty of pictures and videos while keeping us updated. She stayed overnight and kept the house clean. Wouldn't hesitate to use Sarah again!

Sarah was great! She sent lots of pictures of my Ellie and updates and I wasn’t worried about my dog once while out of town.

Sarah was wonderful! My dogs clearly loved her and they got lots of snuggles and walks while we were gone. She was also really good about communicating her schedule and sent me daily updates and pictures of the pups. We are looking forward to having her back.

Sarah took wonderful care of our 2 boston terriers. She sent us pictures with updates. It was an overnight visit. Our home was left very tidy. I would highly recommend Sarah.

Schedule

As a full-time pet care professional (and former vet tech!), pet care isn’t just part of my routine—it is my routine. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized small dogs and specialize in creating a calm, loving environment for both small dogs and gentle giants. I have extensive experience with senior pets, dogs with special needs, and pups who just need a little extra TLC. I work from home and structure my days around the animals in my care, with walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of cozy couch cuddles. I’m rarely away for more than 3–4 hours, so your dog will have a steady, comforting presence and personalized attention all day long. Whether they’re energetic or easygoing, your pup will feel safe, cared for, and right at home here.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets are truly treated like family. I usually only care for one (and no more than three) visiting dogs at a time, in addition to my own friendly resident pups, so each guest gets plenty of individualized attention. Every dog has their own cozy private space for naps, meals, and downtime, and a large shared area for safe, supervised play if they enjoy socializing. I remove toys during group play to prevent guarding issues and ensure calm, respectful interactions. Dogs are walked three times a day and also have supervised leashed or tethered access to my private yard for fresh air, sniffing, and sunshine. When the weather is nice, we love lounging on the porch or stretching out on a blanket in the grass together. Whether they’re here for boarding or daycare, your dog will enjoy a calm, structured, and loving environment where their needs and comfort come first. When caring for pets in their own homes, I aim to maintain their usual routines and comforts as closely as possible. I provide regular walks, feeding, medication if needed, and lots of companionship so your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. My experience as a former vet tech gives me confidence in caring for seniors, special needs pets, and administering medications safely and gently.
