Your dog will become part of my family while they are here at The Haven! Annie, Birdie, Boonie, and Maybelline (The Cat) are my world, and your pets will be too!! We spend a lot of time outside (including the cat), my dogs love frisbee and we share this passion with our dog friends. We also love to hike the trails, if you would like a little extra adventure for your pup, let me know! I teach boundaries and pack etiquette, exercising the body and the mind - play time is learning time!

Sarah always does great and Rango always has a blast. Never worry about my dogs at all when they are staying with her.

Molly loves spending time with Sarah. She gets excited when she sees us pull up to the house and runs in the door like it is her own home. Sarah is a very caring and loving person and our dog feels it. We appreciate you Sarah
