Pet care experience
Hi! I absolutely love working with and caring for dogs, and am very passionate about fostering and rescuing. I rescued my current dog, Gracie, when she was just seven weeks old and have raised her on my own since! She trains and competes in both agility and nosework, and is certified under Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dog International, so we enjoy doing a lot of animal-assisted therapy! I have cared for dogs with a variety of different temperaments and behavior affects, such as those that are aggressive towards other dogs, nervous/timid dogs, high-energy dogs, and dogs with minimal training. I am comfortable and have experience with dogs of any age, including both puppies and senior dogs. I'd love to have the opportunity to work with you and get to know your favorite four-legged friend!
Reviews
Sarah was incredible!!! She exceeded EVERY possible expectation that we could ever have had. We came back to a very happy Mac!!!! We were so relaxed knowing that Sarah was taking care of Mac and her daily updates confirmed that he was having a blast! We can't recommend Sarah enough.
Winston & Ginny had a great afternoon with Sarah! We will definitely use again. She sent a lot of pictures.
Sarah was awesome! She was able to come last minute when we had to go to a funeral out of state. Sarah has a lot of experience with different types of dogs and dog training. One of ours has some behavioral issues, Sarah didn’t seem to mind and provided great structure for our girl. The dogs received lots of walk time and were so happy. Regular updates and pictures put us at ease too. We look forward to working with Sarah again, and already have two more sessions booked!
Sarah accommodated my 3 month old litter mates at the last minute with only 30 minutes notice. It was my first time leaving them so I was a bit reluctant, she was very patient with my questions and let me take my time to make sure her dog would get along with my puppies. She also sent me photos throughout the evening to ease my anxiety, both puppies seemed to really enjoy their time with Sarah and her dog. I strongly recommend Sarah!

Information Sarah S. would like to know about your pet
I have a dog and cat at home, so dog's boarding at my house need to be good around other dogs and cats (although the cat rarely ever shows herself!).
A typical day
There is a forest preserve very near my house, so I often take dogs on walks there! It has a paved trail, so dogs paws will be safe. There is much to explore and lots of smells to sniff! At home, I have a fenced in yard, some agility equipment, and a surplus of toys and treats! We can work on basic training and socialization skills. Dogs are also allowed on furniture and beds in my house, so they will always be comfortable!
