Hello! I’m Sara Sokol, the creator of the Dogs Welcome community.
Milo with Sara Sokol.
I live in Bath Maine with my dog soulmate, Milo a 15 year old Shih Tzu, and am the owner of Mr. Dog Training, a positive reinforcement dog training facility that has been voted best dog trainer in Maine for the past eight years.
In 2020 I purchased a property to use as a short term vacation rental and our business Little White Dog Properties, LLC. was born.
Being a huge dog lover I knew I wanted to provide a beautiful, clean, and friendly vacation rental where dogs weren’t just tolerated and “allowed” but welcomed with open arms, so we completely embraced welcoming dogs.
In the winter of 2022 I was searching for Facebook groups that were geared towards pet friendly rentals, so that I could market our property, and found none. None!
So I decided to start my own and created the Dogs Welcome Facebook group.
The response to the group was overwhelming. At one point I gained 1200 members in 24 hours and I knew that this group, this community, was filling a huge need.
It only took me two months to realize that the amazing and dedicated members of this group, as well as all dog guardians in North America, deserved a proper website where they could easily find properties who wanted their dogs there, just like mine does, and here we are.
Thank you for being a part of the Dogs Welcome community!
