About the host
Hosted by Sarah Rodriguez
Hello and welcome! I’m thrilled to have you as our guest in our home. Originally from Rhode Island, I now call Orlando my home, where I’m a busy wife and mother of three energetic boys. I’m also a devoted dog lover, and started dog sitting on a regular basis to keep my 4 legged daughter entertained and happy.
Being actively involved in my community as the PTA secretary allows me to stay connected and give back, which I truly cherish. I love being a host because it gives me the opportunity to share my home and create a welcoming environment for families seeking relaxation and adventure. I believe in the importance of making lasting memories, and I’m here to ensure your stay is enjoyable and memorable. If you have any questions or need recommendations during your visit, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
