Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are extremely important to me. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, training rules, and household routines. I’m attentive to behavior, body language, and stress signals, and I prioritize calm, positive interactions. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and keep everything clean and secure. For walks and outings, I use proper leash handling and remain alert to surroundings at all times. With my professional background in daycare and training environments, you can trust that your pet will be cared for responsibly, patiently, and with genuine love.

Information Sandra B. would like to know about your pet

Before care begins, I like to know about your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, energy level, and any behavioral quirks or triggers. Please let me know if your pet has medical needs, anxiety, leash reactivity, or specific training rules you follow at home. I also appreciate knowing what your pet enjoys most.. favorite toys, treats, walking pace, or comfort habits so I can provide care that feels familiar, consistent, and personalized

A typical day

A typical day is tailored to your pet’s energy level, personality, and routine. I focus on both physical exercise and mental stimulation through structured walks, playtime, enrichment games, and calm rest periods. We’ll explore new smells on walks, practice good leash manners, and enjoy plenty of one on one attention. I also make sure pets have time to relax, eat on schedule, and feel comfortable and secure. Whether your pet is high energy or more laid back, I adjust activities so they feel happy, fulfilled, and stress free.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Sandra, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have over 12 years of hands-on pet care experience and a strong professional background working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I previously worked as a manager at a doggy daycare, grooming, and boarding facility, where I supervised group play, ensured safety, assisted with grooming needs, and provided daily care for multiple dogs at once. I also worked closely with a professional dog trainer for three years, gaining experience with basic training, leash handling, behavior management, and reading canine body language. I currently have four dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, high-energy dogs, seniors, and multi-dog households. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific instructions, and adjusting care to each dog’s individual needs. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.

Sandra was absolutely amazing with our 3 dogs and our home while we were away. Our pups all have unique personalities - she handled them all with ease and they all seemed very comfortable with her the moment she walked through the door. She updated us thoroughly during her stay and sent many pictures which was extremely appreciated. We will absolutely use her again!

As Sandra’s mother I’ve seen firsthand the dedication and care she brings to animals. She has years of professional experience managing a doggy daycare and working as a dog trainer, as well as a lifetime of caring for pets of her own. She is reliable, patient, and extremely attentive to detail. Any pet in her care will be treated with respect, consistency, and genuine love. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her as a pet sitter or dog walker.

Sandra has always been such a gentle person and so kind to animals I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog Sadie or even my daughter! She puts animals even over herself and has never been one to shy away from loving even the most difficult and hurt animals.

Sandra B. is one of those people you immediately trust with your pets—and honestly, with anything important in your life. She is incredibly caring, patient, and attentive, and she genuinely loves animals. Sandra takes the time to understand each pet’s personality, needs, and routines, which makes both pets and pet parents feel completely at ease. What really makes Sandra special is how responsible and thoughtful she is. She treats every animal as if they were her own, always prioritizing safety, comfort, and happiness. She’s reliable, communicative, and kind, and you can count on her to go above and beyond to make sure pets feel loved and secure. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Sandra caring for their furry family members. 🐾💛
