Highly recommend Sarah! My Goldendoodle Charlie loved his extended stay while we were on vacation. It was truly like a vacation for him. Sarah has great house with huge backyard. Kids and family that love to give your dog attention. Sarah sent some pics and did some walks. 5 star hotel for dog. Thank you!!

Our dog, Benny, stayed with Sarah and her family for two weeks while we were visiting family in Chicago. We were thrilled with the entire experience. Sarah was very quick and thorough in her communications ahead of our booking. She and her family welcomed Benny and had him playing in their beautiful back yard within two minutes of our arrival at their house. She sent pictures and updates throughout his stay. She was happy for us to come get him and take him for visits during his booking and made sure that our drop offs and pick ups went smoothly. When we picked Benny up on the way to the airport, Sarah was waiting out front with Benny and all his stuff, ready to make the pick up smooth so we wouldn't miss our flight. We were beyond impressed with the whole experience and would book with Sarah again without question!

Sarah has watched our dog several times when we travel and she does an excellent job! Our dog is always happy to see her and her family. We love that she sends daily pictures of their activities.

My dog Beef LOVES Sarah! Sometimes I get jealous! I know when he's with her that he's having the best time ever. And the pictures she sends are hilarious! I used to board my dog when I would travel, and he'd come home sad. It broke my heart. Now he's my happy boy when I pick him up, and I'm so grateful. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Sarah is a passionate dog lover and is very concerned about the well-being of them. You will not have to worry when you leave your best friend in her care. She does not mind sending pics to keep you updated about their well-being.

I am home most of the day & am able to let dogs outside & go for walks frequently. If I do need to leave, dogs have free range of the house to explore.

Walking is something I enjoy, so having your dog join me is a bonus. I live across the street from a big park with a walking path and lots of green space. There is even have an enclosed dog park if that’s something your dog's enjoys too!
