Low-key, loving pup enthusiast
Pet care experience
Hi there! I'm Sarah. I grew up with animals (cats, hamsters, and a shih tzu named April!) and fall hard for all furry friends I encounter. As an adult I've adopted two pups, first a sweet and opinionated senior cattledog who passed this spring, and recently a 2 year old stray who came to the mainland from Hawai'i. I'm generally very patient and calm, so do well with anxious pups who might need a little more understanding. I walked dogs in college and loved getting to know their unique personalities, quirks, and joys. I have a flexible schedule, so am here for last minute or one-time walks, but would love to build a relationship and trust with your dog. I have not watched dogs professionally, but have done stays for up to a week at a time with the dogs of friends over the past several years. I am adaptable and happy to adjust to the needs of each pup. My own dog, River, is much more trusting of animals than humans due to past trauma, so I would love to schedule overnights with pups who also do well, or even better, when able to connect with other dogs. If this is you and your pup, I think we could be a wonderful fit! I'm excited to meet your pup and hope to hear from you if you think we could be a match!
Reviews
Sarah was so accommodating to our last minute request! She was incredibly kind and patient with our nervous pup. We felt very at ease leaving our dog with her. Our dog came back well rested and ready for a long car ride. Would absolutely recommend her care to anyone that needs dog sitting/walking services!
Sarah was great. The dogs loved her. Sarah just knows what to do. Would recommend her to anyone.
Sarah was very accommodating and flexible She sent lots of pictures which brought me amusement and comfort
Sarah was a wonderful sitter! She was able to accommodate our last minute need for someone to watch our dog during the day. Koda was very happy and tired when we came to pick him up! If we lived in town, we would definitely use Sarah again.

Information Sarah M. would like to know about your pet
Any commands they know, particular stressors, how they do with other dogs, adults, or kids. I'd also love to know if they are treat motivated or have dietary accommodations and if they have favorite places to go with you, enjoy new routes, or need a consistent routine. I really love all breeds, but I'd prefer to care for dogs under 65 lbs, please. I'm just not a very large person, so want to make sure we all feel safe and confident that I can care for your furry family members well.
A typical day
I always love to get to a park or the river if I can with my own pups, but let me know what your dog likes and needs! This walk is for them, not for me :)
