It’s never “just a dog” ❤️

Pet care experience

Hi there, my name’s Sarah! I’m a part-time Rover sitter and full-time dog lover! I have two dogs of my own and have fostered over 15 dogs of all ages/breeds/backgrounds. I understand the importance of respecting each dog as an individual with their own specific needs and preferences. I promise to take the time to get to know your pups in order to give them a personalized experience and spoil them with love while you’re away! Thanks for taking the time to review my profile to see if I could be a good fit for your fur baby! Here’s a quick overview of the services I can provide: Boarding – This is where your pup comes to my home for a vacation of their own while you’re away! You’re more than welcome to stop by for a visit beforehand to see where your pup will be staying, get to know myself and my husband, and introduce your pup(s) to mine! We have two dogs – Stella is a 7-year-old chocolate lab mix and Aspen is a 4-year-old amstaff mix (scroll to the bottom of my profile to check them both out). They’re both easy going and love making new friends! We live on 2 acres, part of which is a wetland that your pup can explore! Although our yard is not fenced at the moment, our house is located on a quiet cul-de-sac, and we have multiple 100ft long leashes that we can use for extra safety if your pup likes to wander (although we will always be outside when the pups are outside). Since my husband and I both work from home, we can provide frequent potty breaks and regular walks. In order to not burn out our dogs and our house, we just ask that your pups are house-trained, dog-friendly, and do not have any major destructive traits (we understand accidents happen 😊). Please send your pup with any supplies they may need (food, bed, favorite toys, crate if they use one, a clothing item with your smell, etc.). For these types of bookings, I can either pick up your dog from your house and drop them back off on the last day, or you can drop them off at my house – whatever is easier for you! Sitting – This is where I watch your pup in your home where they are already comfortable! The standard sitting involves me staying in your home overnight and basically standing in for you while you’re gone. I can adapt to your pup’s schedule and routines whether that’s breakfast under the kitchen table or an evening cuddle session on the couch! I will bring my work with me during the week and will bring my own food (no need to stock your pantry/fridge). I’ll be self-sufficient while also keeping up with your house – let me know if I’ll be staying on trash day and can put your bins out or if you’d like me to bring in your mail so it doesn’t pile up in the mailbox! This type of booking is great for families with a space for me to stay and pups who love being homebodies!

Look no further, if you want your dog to receive the best care. Sarah, went out of her way to make my Benny, feel relaxed and right at home. I could tell immediately from the pictures, that he was having the best time! We can’t wait to book with Sarah again in the future!❤️

Sarah did an incredible job taking care of our dog, Paisley while we were away. This was our first time leaving Paisley with a sitter. Sarah made us feel comfortable from the start by meeting with us before hand to get to know us & Paisley's routine. She sent us daily pictures and updates, and even left us an art project with Paisley's paw prints. I couldn't have asked for a better person to watch our pet & our home! Sarah is kind, caring, trustworthy and a great communicator. I was able to relax and enjoy our vacation because I knew our fur baby was in amazing hands!

Sarah was a great communicator, very responsible, and tidy. Our dog is a rescue and has some anxiety. She kept us updated on how he was doing and asked great questions during our meet and greet. I always feel a little worried when we go out of town, but felt very comfortable with Sarah and confident she would let us know if he was having any problems or if anything went wrong. Will definitely use again!

Some more notes: I work full-time but have the privilege of working remotely three days/week. I do go into the office (located downtown Nashville) on Tuesday and Wednesdays but in general, I have a fair amount of flexibility and can work from anywhere with wifi the rest of the week! My husband also works mostly remote with occasional travel so if your pup is staying with us, we will be able to provide them with plenty of companionship and supervision! I’m a “dogs allowed anywhere” person so if you pup is staying in our home, they’re welcome on the couch and bed! If you have a different standard for your pups, especially if I’m staying in your home, please let me know so I can keep up with your routine and training!
