A Doggone Good Time
Pet care experience
Nuclear power may be my vocation, but animals are my passion. I grew up taking care of all kinds of animals such as dogs, cats, small animals, horses, fish, and reptiles. They have always been a constant in my life and I wouldn’t change that for anything, so I relish the opportunity to take care of your furry (or not-so-furry) friends. A little more about me: My name is Sarah and in 2016, when I was done with school, I moved to Champaign permanently where I now live with my boyfriend (who also loves dogs). I have a B.S. in nuclear power engineering and an A.A.S. in radiation protection/health physics. I refueled nuclear reactors for a time (I was gone fission, if you will), but luckily for you and your best friend(s) I’m home full-time for the time being. I have plenty of time to give them the love and attention they deserve! When your pet comes to my house, they can expect: 1. An endless barrage of affection (if they’re into that!) 2. Lots of playtime 3. Snuggles 4. Did I mention affection? I have a back yard, but I also live very close to Spalding Park and West Side park. I take my own dog to both frequently, and he loves having companions! Special needs and senior dogs are 100% welcome; I have experience caring for both. I’m very flexible so I can absolutely accommodate your schedule, as well as last-minute/emergency bookings. I’m available for boarding your dog (or cat, or small animal) in my home, doggy daycare in my home, house sitting in your home, drop-in visits, and walks.
Reviews
Sarah took such great care of our pup & two bunnies. She stayed every night for over a week as requested, and also entertained our naughty sweetheart 😆 lots of tug of war & an excellent trip to the local park were cherries on top! Plus I think she left the house in better order than we did during the hand-off. Will definitely rebook if schedules allow!!
Sara took great care of our dogs. We will definitely ask her again!
Pups were well taken care of and got plenty of pictures to help ease my mind
Our dogs and house were well cared for while Sarah house sat for us.

Information Sarah R. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any breed preferences - all are welcome. You have a dog, and I would like to pet that dog. That’s all there is to it. However, there are a couple things I would like to know: Would you like me to hang out with your dog? Would your dog like to hang out with me? Okay, jokes aside... please let me know the following: 1. If they’re up-to-date on vaccinations 2. If they have any personality quirks/anxiety triggers 3. Their feeding schedule 4. Your vet’s contact information 5. Whether or not they have issues being around other dogs (I can only accept house sitting, drop-in, or walk bookings if this is the case) 6. If they have special needs or need medication administered
A typical day
I love to be outside so if your pup does too, I’m a perfect match! We’ll take long walks on the beach... I wish. But we can take long walks to parks! I have lots of balls and frisbees if fetch is a preferred activity. If your pup doesn’t love to be outside, that’s okay too. With a full basement and lots of toys, we have plenty of room to play inside. Active dogs, couch potatoes, and everything in between are welcome.
