About Sarah

Hi, I'm Sarah and I absolutely love dogs! I have been a dog owner myself and a sitter for many years and have experience caring for dogs of various breeds and sizes. I understand the importance of providing a safe and nurturing environment for your furry friend while you're away or just need that break.

Services Offered:
1. Doggy Daycare: I offer day-long care for dogs who need companionship, exercise, and attention while their owners are at work or away for the day. I have a spacious, pet-friendly home with a fully fenced backyard even for the smallest of breeds, where dogs can play and socialize with me and my daughter who is 5 and very confident with dogs. My daughter is not always home as we share care with her father so if your furry friend is not OK with kids I can make a booking when my daughter is not home.

2. Overnight Boarding: I provide a home away from home for your dog, ensuring they are comfortable and well-cared for while you're on vacation or traveling. Your dog will have a cozy place to sleep, regular exercise, and plenty of love and attention. Pics and videos are free and at your discretion.

3. Dog Walking: If you have a busy schedule and need someone to take your dog for a walk, I offer regular dog walking services. I can tailor the walks to your dog's needs, whether it's a short stroll or a longer adventure.

4. Playtime and Exercise: I understand the importance of keeping dogs physically and mentally stimulated. I offer interactive playtime sessions, including games, fetch, and puzzle toys, to keep your pooch entertained and happy.

Experience:
I have been a dog owner for over 20 years and have experience with various breeds, including small, medium, and large dogs. Additionally, I have worked at local animal shelters, assisting with dog walking, care and socialization, which has provided me with valuable knowledge and skills in handling different temperaments and behaviors.

Safety Measures:
Your dog's safety is my top priority. I have a clean and secure environment, free of any hazards. So you can feel confident that your furry friend is in safe hands. I am happy to do a free greet and meet at my home for your comfort.

Rates:
My rates are competitive and depend on the services required.

Availability:
I am available everyday as I work from home, including weekends and some holidays. However, availability may vary, so it is best to contact me in advance to check for availability and to schedule services.


Testimonials:
"I highly recommend Sarah as a dog sitter. She took excellent care of my dog, providing regular updates and giving him plenty of love and attention. I felt at ease knowing my furry friend was in good hands." - [Tara - Franky's Mum]

If you're looking for a reliable, experienced, and caring dog sitter, please don't hesitate to reach out. I would love to meet you and your beloved furry companion. Please ensure dogs are fully vaccinated, wormed and have had flea treatments.

Sarah took an excellent care of my Jack Russel with a separation anxiety. I was expecting some concerns or maybe even problems with my little friend, but he was taking the change of environment very well. Thanks to Sarah who has given him lot of affection and comforting. Thank you very much Sarah.

Sarah was wonderful to Valerie who is a bit shy and sometimes “skittish”. Communication was great and we received lots of photos of Valerie. Highly recommended Sarah to care for your dog.
