Safety, trust & environment

I always have lengthy conversations with pet owners including a site visit with the pet and parents. This helps to ensure that everyone is comfortable and the client/pet can see that my yard is fenced in the back and my home is ready for day visits. I am not doing much boarding these days because my Mom has a cat. Willing to consider it.

Pet care experience

My name is Mandisa, I am a caring and compassionate Bay Area kinfolk. My dog recently transitioned after 14 years of lovely Boxer dog life. I decided this would be a great way to help others who might find themselves having a hard time finding a responsible person to love and care for their pets when they have the need to travel for work or for relaxation. I am available to board, drop in, walk dogs, take pups to the vet, or house sit depending on the needs of the client. I am very interested in helping urban farmers like myself. Thank you for taking a moment to view my profile. I hope I am able to meet you and your pet(s)! Diversity Statement: May all beings be free from suffering and injustice. I will always work hard to be inclusive, mindful, and aware of the needs of those families I encounter and their pets. I myself identify as and am happy to welcome QTBIPOC families and all others. Many blessings! MW

Mandisa was amazing with our 3 pups, from meeting them on their own different energy levels during the meet n greet, to making them as comfy and chill as possible in our absence. She handled meds no problem and sent us plenty of updates. Can't recommend Mandisa enough :)

Thanks so much Mandisa, Mac had a great time meeting and walking with you and it was so reassuring for me to spend time with you before you house sit, I know he will be in good hands with you!!

Mandisa was incredibly helpful and so pleasant with both my pups. She was caring about my grief and offered to support in ways that also made the dogs feel ok about my not being home. Highly recommend.
