I’m stay at home dog mom with a side business from home, and my husband works from home, so your pup will always have company and supervision. We go on walks throughout the day, spend time playing in the yard, and keep to your dog’s routine as closely as possible.

Safety, trust & environment

We provide a safe, dog-friendly home with a fully fenced yard and plenty of room to explore. Our Golden Retriever is very friendly and playful, so visiting dogs should be very social and comfortable around other pups, be good with sharing toys. We only host one family at a time to ensure a calm, safe environment with plenty of personal attention. We take tons of pictures and send frequent updates throughout the day so you always know how your dog is doing throughout their stay. For safety reasons, we cannot host females in heat, and all visiting dogs must be house-trained and potty-trained. We can crate your dog if needed or if that’s part of their normal routine.

Information Sarah Z. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, feeding routines, or behaviors I should be aware of so I can make their stay as comfortable as possible. I’m happy to adjust feeding times and play schedules based on what your pup is used to. My home offers plenty of shade, cozy resting spots, and lots of room to play. Your dog will have access to fresh filtered water all day long, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for during their time here. We will be best friends and they will have the best golden buddy to play with!

A typical day

Mornings in our home usually start with cuddles and either a walk around the neighborhood or an energetic play session in the backyard—fetch with balls, frisbees, or whatever your pup enjoys most. After that, we come inside for some relaxing “cool-down” time before breakfast. Once everyone has eaten, the dogs settle in for a nice rest, so the food can digest properly (about 30 minutes). After that, your dog can choose to play with my super friendly Golden Retriever or explore the big fenced backyard. Later, we’ll enjoy another round of outdoor games followed by a 40ish minutes walk. In the evening, dogs get dinner and can play together, cuddle with us or together, or simply relax—whatever makes them happiest. We can provide many potty breaks throughout the day.

Dogs’ Best Friends With Fenced Yard

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Sarah, best friend to all your furry babies 🐾 My husband and I have both grown up with dogs, and they’ve always been a huge part of our lives. We now share our home with a sweet, energetic Golden Retriever who absolutely loves making new friends. Because we travel often, we know how important it is to find someone who truly cares - someone you can trust 100%. That’s the level of care we want to offer other families. We’re friendly, patient, playful, and we genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality. From walks (during day light) and backyard playtime to cozy downtime, we make sure every pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with us.

Sarah was amazing! My partner and I extremely last minute needed a dog sitter for our 2 year old labradoodle Nash and Sarah was able to help! Leaving your pup with strangers can be scary but Sarah was very responsive and sent us plenty of photos of Nash and her sweet golden playing! Wonderful sitter I would ABSOLUTELY recommend!!😊

I have been using rover for several years now and I have to express what a gem of a sitter Sarah is! She provided regular updates with photos that were so appreciated. She treated my dog Millie as her own, and I could tell when I picked her up, that she enjoyed her time. When in the Sedona area, I’d definitely book again and highly recommend Sarah as she provides a high level of care and is a joy to work with. Thanks again🐾

Sarah is such a loving and dependable pet caregiver. She treats every dog like her own and always makes sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’ve seen how patient and gentle she is, and any dog would be lucky to stay with her. She gives them so much love!
