Flexible, fun, & loving care!

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Sarah! I have two dogs of my own, Mason & Layla Rose. They are both huge cuddle bugs and love to play with new friends. We have a large fenced yard as well as an SUV that can fit plenty of pups for adventures to the river, patios, Barker Field, Forest Hill Park, or just rides around town. Our house is spacious but cozy (in a quiet neighborhood), with either myself, boyfriend, or roommate always being available for emergency needs. Your fur baby is guaranteed to get plenty of cuddles, attention, and exercise when staying at my house. If you'd prefer me to come to you, I am happy to travel as well -- whether for sporadic visits or a regularly scheduled drop-in while you're at work! I have had dogs since I was a toddler and have raised my own since as soon as I moved out. I am attentive to details and love getting to know each pet I interact with personally to learn build a bond that will provide your pup the best experience possible while they can't be with you! I live in southside Richmond -- ten minutes to Downtown, Midlothian, the Fan, Carytown. Due to my central location and flexibility (I am taking time off work to complete my master's degree online), I am typically available for last minute needs or out of the ordinary requests.

Sarah did a great job! She sent me pictures to reassure me the dogs were doing well. She even sent me a photo of one dog's leg to show me a developing sore and how she was treating it. My dogs were in good hands. I'd recommend Sarah highly.

Sarah is my go-to for pet sitting! I always know my kitties are in good hands when I leave them with Sarah for the weekend. She is also good with dogs, shes always had a passion for them. Sarah is a neat and tidy person, and she's always been attentive to my detailed notes on what the pets need while I'm gone. 10/10 Would recommend!!

Information Sarah R. would like to know about your pet

I love all breeds! I do need to know any temperament issues and interactions with other dogs. I would also prefer a meet and greet with my pups and yours before any overnight stays at my house.

A typical day

My large fenced in yard has plenty of room for my pups and yours to run or bask in the sun. We can play with toys, fetch, ball, etc.We could even go to the dog park, coffee shops, VMFA, swimming, or walks around town! I am open to whatever.
