This is the absolute best experience we have ever had with a dog sitter.l!! Sara's is so experienced with dogs. She had us and our pups at ease at first meeting. Our dogs are always so happy when they get to go to Sara’s! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, fun, secure place for their pups to go retreat. Not only is she the kindest person with the most amazing soul, but more importantly our dogs are happy and cared for. Her facility is top notch. I’ve never felt so at ease leaving our fur babies anywhere else.

Caring for animals is obviously Sara’s passion. Our community is very grateful to have a provider that is all-inclusive and doesn’t have a money first agenda. There are so many facilities that nickel and dime for the basic’s. I’m personally a fan of Sara’s motto that “caring shouldn’t cost extra”. Good bye facilities with a-la carte options, hello connected canine. I’m excited to see the growth of an individual that cares and continues to put all dogs first…

Sara is the only person we trust to care for our dogs when we are away. She truly treats them as her own and is very knowledgeable about dog behavior. She knows how to work with our dog Harley, who has some fear reactivity issues. She always ensures Harley is well taken care of and knows how to pair her with other dogs for safe and enjoyable playtime. Sara is also a talented dog trainer, and has helped us work with Harley to improve many of her issues. We cannot recommend Sara and Connected Canine enough!
