Pet care experience

Safe, loving care for every dog.

I absolutely love dogs and come from a family of dog lovers. For almost 40 years, I’ve adopted, rescued, and cared for dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve worked at the Humane Society as an adoption counselor, and I’ve babysat countless dogs for friends and family — caring for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs with medical needs. My home is designed with dogs in mind. I have a very large, secure yard built so my dogs can’t get out and nothing else can get in. Inside, animals are treated like people — as part of the family. My own dog loves to nap in the sun and find cozy spots in every room, and your pup will feel just as welcome. I offer boarding, daycare, walks, hiking, and grooming add-ons like brushing and baths. You’ll receive daily photo updates, and I always follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions exactly. As an educator by trade and a compassionate individual, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a true passion for animals to every interaction. Whether your dog needs playful enrichment, gentle senior care, or just a safe, loving place to stay, I’d be honored to be their trusted sitter.

Sarah took care of my dog Pepper for 6 days and did such an amazing job! She kept in great communication with me the entire time and sent me tons of pictures and videos, which I absolutely loved. My pup had SO much fun and had plenty of friends to play with! Sarah was incredibly kind and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with her. It was so nice being able to enjoy my trip and have peace of mind knowing she was happy, safe, and in such good hands. I will 100% be booking with Sarah again and couldn’t recommend her enough!

Sarah is amazing! She is very patient, kind, and reliable. Boss really enjoyed his stay with her. Of course, I'd leave my puppy in her care again. I received photos and updates constantly. It was very easy to work with her. Highly recommended!

First time boarding our two 12-year-old Border Collies with Sarah for a long weekend. All went great and she updated us with pictures (she didn't have to) which we appreciated LOTS! We hope to be able to board with her in the future again.

Sarah was great with Roxy. Her home is warm and inviting. She really connects with her four-legged guests. She sent me pictures everyday with updates on how Roxy was doing. She promptly answered any questions I had. I had no worries about leaving Roxy in her care. I will definitely book again in the future.

Bindi loves going to Sarah's place. She has the best time cuddling with Sarah and playing with the other pups. Sarah is so sweet and communicative. I know Bindi is in good hands while we're gone. I know Bindi can't wait till the next time she's over. Thank you, Sarah!!
