We have the ability to crate if needed, but we don’t crate our pups when we leave, as we can trust them. We can discuss your dog’s needs. Well behaved pups have access to the first floor of the home. The basement is reserved for the litter boxes and the cats.

Information Sarah M. would like to know about your pet

Please no aggressive dogs, dogs that aren’t socialized, or dogs that aren’t friendly to cats. Your dog must be house trained to use the potty outside. Let me know if your dog has been trained to walk nicely on a leash. Any additional info about your dog’s temperament, needs and behaviors would be helpful. Note: We require a meet & greet prior to accepting boarding request for unfamiliar dogs to verify capability with our animals. Any requests for drop off prior to 7am will be asked to drop off the night before and to pay the boarding rate. Similarly, any pick ups requested for after 9pm will be asked to pay the boarding rate and to be picked up the next morning. Any daycare requests exceeding 10 hours will be asked to pay the boarding rate.

A typical day

Walks in the neighborhood and trips to the dog park are our things. In the summer, we like to go to the Stoughton Dog Park because the dogs have access to water to swim! We do work during the day (from home), but we do our best to provide as much exercise as possible, weather permitting.

Experienced Dog Loving Sitters

Pet care experience

My husband Zach and I will lovingly care for your fur baby while you are away. I understand the anxiety you can have when leaving your pet with someone. We can handle the job and will love and care for your pup like it’s our own. I have been caring for animals since I was in second grade. I got my first cat at that point and have had multiple animals ever since! They are my true passion. I have cared for many cats and dogs over the years. We currently have two rescue dogs (both lab mixes) who are socialized and attend doggy day care away from home once weekly, and they’ve been doing this their whole lives with us. They will be thrilled to entertain your pup during its stay! I also have three male cats who are friendly with the dogs - they even snuggle together. ****Please no dogs over 80 lbs. Thank you.

Repeat client here! Sarah and her husband have been wonderful. Very friendly, super timely with responses, and communicative throughout the extent of our pups’ stay, including pictures! Our pups feel safe and jump out of the car with excitement and come home tired from the activity and playing in their fenced in yard. We feel very confident and comfortable leaving our pups in their hands!

This was my first time using Rover and Sarah made the experience worry free! I knew my dog was being well taken care of. She was great at communicating and just the overall experience allowed me to relax and enjoy vacation because I knew Zeb was in great hands!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
