My husband and I have been friends with Sarah for a long time and we've watched her raise/take care of her two dogs since she first adopted them. Those are the two of the happiest dogs I know! You can tell Sarah gives them tons of love but, she also knows when they're getting a little crazy (they are both very active dogs) and she's able to calm them down. I think she's found the right balance between obedience and allowing them to be, well dogs! My husband and I also have two dogs and we frequently have puppy play dates. Even with all four together, it never seems too overwhelming of an experience since I know Sarah's dogs have been trained well. Sarah is one of the few people we trust enough to watch our dogs when we go out of town and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a qualified pet sitter.
