Home Most of the Time!

Hi! I am a pet sitter and licensed massage therapist. My schedule is fairly flexible starting late morning-evening, so I can usually accommodate new requests. I've pet sit for all different types of dogs and I also love cats. I actually had cats all throughout childhood and early adulthood. After dog sitting for 15 years, I finally adopted my first pup, Daisy! I’m available for single or weekly 30-60 min drop in visits and walks, dog boarding and doggy daycare! ***For anyone considering my boarding or doggy daycare option, Daisy loves to greet other dogs but then mostly just wants to co-exist. She's 10 so she rarely plays and she appreciates when dogs respect her personal space. Before accepting a dog boarding/daycare request, I do generally require a meet & greet to confirm that our pups get along. But if your pup mostly keeps to themselves too, we can skip the initial meeting. Also, Daisy will scarf your pup's food so unfortunately cannot take in dogs who graze. I love walks and I’m home quite a bit, especially during the work day, except for when I have to run out to do a 30 min/hour pet visit nearby, mostly on weekdays. On days that I do have plans/appointments/errands, I never leave Daisy longer than 4-6 hours. I can occasionally arrange to be home 24/7 over the weekend. So let me know if that’s something your pup needs!

Sarah took such great care of our Daisy girl while we were away. Sarah excels in communication and adapting to meet the needs of your dog. We were totally at ease on our trip knowing our girl was loved and having a grand ol’ time playing with Sarah’s Daisy, rolling in the grass and chasing the ball! We loved all the pictures we received. Overall, the whole experience was positive and we would highly recommend Sarah! Will absolutely book again!

As always Sarah does a fantastic job at keeping me updated and being punctual and taking the best care of my pup!! She’s been my choice since my dog was a puppy himself and I trust her with him.

I’m big on knowing the start time-frame for visits. That way we are on the same page and I can ensure that my schedule allows for the visit. For daycare and overnight guests, I’d like to know their schedule (when they typically wake, take walks and eat) and if that's a strict schedule or a time-frame. Id love to know is they separation anxiety and how it manifests. Unfortunately, I cannot accept a dog with destructive behavior. I’d also like to know how they are around your dogs and any tendencies on walks (are they a pull your arm of the socket kinda dog when they see a squirrel, etc.)
