Hi! I AM SARAH; canine rehabilitation therapist and INSPIRED DOG MOM!

My girl Sammie was the reason I left my job in public health, returned to PT school, then continued my training to become a canine rehab therapist. I know first hand how helpless you can feel when you dog is hurt or you get that horrible, progressive diagnosis… and I know the joy of LIVING with a dog with a disability and seeing how they can still thrive, even for a short time, when you have a little support and guidance.

When your dog is injured or has a progressive condition that affects their mobility, know that you aren’t alone and there are many things that we can do to help.

It’s not over… It’s just different ~ Sarah and Sammie

We highly recommend Sarah and Upward Dog. The difference she has made in Bella's quality of life is amazing. Our goal was to avoid a second knee surgery and achieved much, much more. Bella is in better shape, happier and healthier now than she was before her injury - and no surgery. Thank you Sarah!

Sarah has a real knack of communicating with dogs. She really listens and gives her full atttention. I saw many specialists but she was the only one who accurately diagnosed my dog’s torn meniscus post surgery, and came up with a great plan for rehabilitation. Highly recommend

Sarah has such a nurturing energy. My dog adores her and let’s her treat him with no issues at all. She was able to help rehabilitate him after a neck injury, and give me preventative at home exercises to make sure he stays healthy and stable going forward. I truly recommend her services, she is genuinely kind, helpful and professional.
