Availability

I have a hybrid work schedule, so I work from home multiple days per week (Tues, Thurs, Fri). I have the flexibility to drop by for visits/walks during work hours while you're away, as well as most weeknights. On weekdays I am available for either 2, 30 min drop in/walks or 1 hour long visit. You are welcome to drop your doggo off at my place during those times as well. Ideally, I'm looking for a few repeat clients so I can really get to know your fur child.

Information Sarah S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pup has any special preferences ahead of time. For daycare in my home, I only accept doggos who are friendly with other dogs, as I have a dog of my own. If your babe has special needs let's just make sure we discuss ahead of time so everyone is comfortable and happy.

A typical day

Being a Boston Terrier mama, I know what it's like to have a little ball of energy running around. He keeps me active, between playing fetch, walks, indoor toy play, snuggles, and doggy brain puzzles. I have had to learn to get creative to keep him entertained and happy!

Pet care experience

I treat all animals like family! I’m a dedicated dog mom of nearly 10 years with hands-on experience caring for friends’ and family’s pets. I’ve raised my own pup from 6 weeks old and am comfortable with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to sweet seniors. My Boston/Jack Russell mix keeps me active, so we’re always walking, playing, and staying engaged. We both love meeting new furry friends and making them feel right at home!

Sarah was great! She was very quick to respond and was willing to change plans last minute when I needed additional help for my pup. She did 2 drop-in visits and my dog was well cared for.

The love that Sarah has for her own dog (a frenchie formally known as King Felix), tells me that one dog simply isn't enough. Her patience, affection and patience is an wonder to watch. I can't think of anyone else I would trust my dog with...for a good walk or for a weekend!

We couldn't be happier with Sarah. She is dependable and trustworthy and our dog, Charlie is always excited to see her. It's nice to return home to a happy, well cared for pet. We would highly recommend her!
