SMALL DOG SPECIALIST wfh & big yard

Hi, I'm Sarah! As a true animal lover I've been raising and caring for all sorts of animals my whole life- it comes very naturally to me. I am adept at caring for dogs at all stages of dog-life, including puppies and older dogs. Regardless of what your sweet pup needs, they need to feel that the person looking after them is intuitive, calming, and reassuring. Also, I am comfortable administering all types of medicine. We have a big backyard and a doggy door! The fence is 4ft high.

Doggy Day Care • Oct 12, 2025

Sarah was so friendly and took great care of my pup. We went hiking in the Smokey Mountain National Park, that doesn’t allow dogs on trails, during the most crowded time of the year, and we needed someone to watch my dog the entire morning, afternoon and evening so we could do a long hike and drive through the heavy traffic. Sarah was so flexible with pick up and drop off times, which made it possible for us to have a great day hiking without worry. She sent us updates, always communicated immediately and was a joy to talk to. She also has a lovely place that is very pet friendly. My dog was treated like family and had a great time. I highly recommend her. It was worth driving to her home instead of using a kennel or someplace closer for peace of mind and knowing that my dog was well taken care of and treated like family!

Sarah was amazing! She was able to keep Abbi on a very short notice. She sent multiple pictures and videos. Abbi was having a great time. When I picked Abbi up, I could tell she was happy and had enjoyed herself. I will definitely use Sarah if I am ever in this area again and would highly recommend her services.

Sarah was very accommodating for our daycare needs and kept us up to date with photos. Ruby came home happy and tired, meaning she had a great time. Definitely would coordinate again the next time we are in the area!

Sarah is amazing. We were in town for a weekend and wanted to go to Dollywood for the day without our pup. Sarah was super accommodating, easy to communicate with, clearly loves dogs and my dog came home super tired from a day of playing. Would highly recommend Sarah to everyone!

Schedule

I'm lucky to work from home which means I spend A LOT of time with your baby while looking after them. Whether it's playtime in the yard, an evening walk, cuddling on the couch, or simply keeping them company throughout the day, your pet's well-being is my priority. My schedule allows for tailored care routines, ensuring that your furbaby feels comfortable and loved during their stay. Additionally, being at home enables me to stay in touch with frequent updates for your peace of mind, and I love to send photos!! Your pet's safety and happiness are my TOP priorities, and I am committed to providing them with the utmost care and attention.

Safety, trust & environment

There is nothing more important to me than the safety of your pet! Our big grassy backyard is securely fenced (4ft high), providing plenty of space for your pet to explore and frolic while preventing any potential escape. The deck provides cozy spots for sunny naps and relaxation, while our carport serves as the shaded general lounge area where we spend a lot of time. Because each pet is unique and some require special attention, I welcome any information you can provide regarding your pet's tendencies which will empower me to tailor their care accordingly to maintain their safety at all times. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a safe, trustworthy, and nurturing environment for your pet. Your furbaby will be in capable hands, receiving the utmost care and attention every step of the way.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day is tailored to each pet's personality and energy levels. Playtime often is a highlight of the day, or perhaps they could lay there all day while they get belly rubs? Whether your baby loves fetch, tug-of-war, or simply chasing after a favorite toy, we have a variety of balls, sticks, and interactive toys to keep them entertained and stimulated. And if it's hot, I may even fill up the kiddie pool :) In addition to physical activities, I enjoy engaging them in puzzle games, treat-dispensing toys, and other enrichment activities that challenge and keep them engaged. These activities not only provide entertainment but also promote cognitive development all while helping them turn their focus from anxiety to excitement. When it's time to relax, we like to unwind on the couch or lay on the carpet. Your pet will have the opportunity to snuggle up next to me or in favorite spot while we enjoy cuddle time. Your pet will receive tons of affection, belly rubs, head scratches, which helps to create a bond between us and ensuring they feel loved and comforted while you're away. Additionally a country evening walk through the neighborhood is always on the agenda. I prioritize providing a well-rounded experience that encompasses physical activity, mental stimulation, and plenty of love and attention throughout the day. By incorporating a variety of fun and engaging activities into our day, I aim to ensure that your pet's stay with me is not only safe, but enjoyable, enriching, and fulfilling, creating a rewarding experience for both them and myself.

Prior to caring for your baby, it's incredibly helpful for me to know their unique needs. Your pet's well-being and safety are of HIGHEST importance. Any information regarding specific medical needs or accommodations your pet requires is essential for ensuring they receive the best possible care. Whether they need regular medication, special dietary considerations, or accommodations for mobility issues, I'm fully equipped and comfortable to provide the necessary support. By knowing these details in advance, I can proactively prepare to accommodate your pet's needs and guarantee a safe, comfortable, and enriching experience during their time in my care. Moreover, I would like to understand any ongoing training efforts you're undertaking so I can do my best to seamlessly continue their progress while in my care. Whether it's reinforcing basic commands like sit and stay, addressing behavioral issues like excessive barking, or assisting with crate training, I'm dedicated to providing consistent support and guidance tailored to your pet's individual training regimen. Rest assured, every pet that stays with me is given the same level of dedication, compassion, and attention to detail as if they were my own. Your pet's happiness, safety, and overall well-being are my top priorities, and I'm committed to providing them with a loving, nurturing environment where they can thrive while in my care.
