Dog loving grad student!

I’ve been around animals, especially dogs, my whole life! I had a golden retriever growing up and since then I’ve looked after many dogs and loved every moment of it so much so that I recently got my own dog, Barnes. He is almost four years old. I'm excited to apply what I've learned with yours too!

Doggy Day Care • Apr 30, 2026

June had the best day with Sarah. She went on walks had a trip to the dog park and got plenty of attention. Thank you for the pictures and taking my last-minute request!

Sarah is wonderful! Hoosier always has a great time with Sarah and Barnes and I never worry about him while I’m away!

Fantastic! Communicates very well and took such good care of my big pup. He looks so happy in all the pictures she sent me daily and loved Sara and her dog Barnes.

We love it when Sarah takes care of our dog Hoosier! She stays in our house and spends a lot of time with Hoosier. We always come home to a happy dog and a clean house.

Sarah was super accommodating, sent pictures of our happy dog every day, was super responsive, and cared for him well. It was clear our dog had a great time with her and her dog. Highly recommend!
