I love to do enrichment activities and games with your dog that combine mental and physical stimulation. I’ll also take your dog for a long walk where they can explore all the scents! I make sure to take them to a nature area like a park or field🌳If your pet likes physical affection, I’ll be so happy to spend time cuddling with them!❤️

Pets

Flexible schedule, intentional care

Pet care experience

I love getting to know each dog’s personality, quirks, and needs! I have a high energy rescue dog (border collie/australian shepherd). She has helped me learn so much about mental stimulation and caring for a dog’s individual emotional needs. I prioritize enrichment activities, walks, play time, and mental stimulation during my time with your pup. I promise to take care of your dog as I would my own ❤️ I will do whatever I can to help them feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved!

Sarah was phenomenal! I really appreciated how communicative she was, she took great care of my house, and she loved/cared for our dogs like they were her own. Would absolutely book again! Thanks Sarah!

Grady had the best time with Sarah while we were on vacation! Sarah's communication was great and she sent many pictures of Grady during his stay. We will 100% be using her services again in the future.

Sarah is totally amazing. We left our 6 yr old border collie with her for almost 3 weeks. We had planned our trip over a year ago and adopted our boy last October. We were more than anxious to leave him as he was just beginning to settle down with us. It became quite apparent from the pictures that Sarah sent us daily that our pup was settling in and feeling comfortable and loved. Sarah, her husband and their dog created a safe and loving environment for him and we were relieved and able to enjoy our trip. I would not hesitate to leave our dog with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter who truly understands the uniqueness of every dog.
