I always feel safe leaving Pico with Sarah. I may miss him but I never have to worry about him because I know he is in excellent hands. She really cares about the pets she boards. Besides I think its like him getting to go to "camp". He makes new friends and has new experiences and its good for him. He is kept stimulated and active. Never have an issue when I bring him home. He is clean and well cared for.

Our dog Molly has the best time when she stays with Sarah. My husband and I feel very comfortable leaving are 4 legged family member under Sarah’s loving care.

Sarah is great! This is our second time using her, and we plan to use her again. You can tell she genuinely loves animals, and treats our animals as if they were her own. She is knowledgeable on care and one of the sweetest persons to meet.

Wonderful as always!!! Chip loves staying with his friend Sarah and all her animal friends and visitors. Sarah gives lots of updates and is always flexible if we need to change pickup or drop off times. We can’t recommend her enough!

Schedule

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!

A typical day

Meals times - 8am and 6pm (can accommodate your dog's individual schedule) Snacks after every outside potty break 5x a day (milk bone or jerky) BedTime snack is cool down time so I provide long lasting homemade treats, marrow bones or cow hooves filled with healthy goodies.

My work from home days are Monday-Friday and every other Saturday. It is best to coordinate drop off and pick up times outside of my office hours.
