Information Sandi D. would like to know about your pet

For boarding purposes, I accept all dog breeds size 40 lbs and up. For walking requests, I prefer smaller dogs, 20-40 lbs. The information I need to have about the dog is: 1. Up-to-date on all vaccinations, heart worm and flea/tick medications? 2. Crate trained? 3. Allergies? 4. Separation Anxiety? 5. Negative Reaction Triggers? (squirrels on fence, knocking on door or ringing door bell) 6. Behavior Issues? (jumping on people, guarding resources, barking) I require all clients to contact their veterinarians and leave an letter authorizing me to seek and provide medical care if needed AND your guarantee that you will be responsible for all medical costs.

A typical day

As previously mentioned, Morgan Hill has a wonderfully large dog park that is divided into small dogs and large dogs sections. There is plenty of room to romp, shade trees, fresh running water and occasionally, a baby wading pool to play in. We also visit two small neighborhood parks that are close to my home and are great places to play. At bedtime, the living room becomes doggie heaven, with large comfy pillow beds to sleep on, access to lots of water in the kitchen and 24/7 access to the dog run -the potty place - via doggie doors. If I have a nervous dog staying over, I'll leave the TV on with relaxing music to lull the dogs to sleep.

Pet care experience

This is a happy home with my foster dog, Kobi, showing your dog all the best toys, where the treats are hidden, and how to romp in the cul-de-sac! I'm fostering Kobi on behalf of the animal rescue organization Gepda Rescue US. I also volunteer at the Santa Clara County Animal Shelter in San Martin, CA. I have over 18 years of experience taking care of other people's pets as well as my own. I make sure that all animals that I am caring for are comfortable, safe, and have a place to cuddle. I offer home boarding, drop-in visits, and dog walking. For dog walking, I prefer small- to medium-sized dogs (20-40lbs). For boarding, I take medium- to large-sized dogs (40-100lbs). I also do drop-ins for any size dog and also for cats :-) Ranch is a happy-go-lucky kind of guy who is currently enrolled in obedience training with Gavilan Kennel Club. We are working on his manners in order for him to obtain a Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification. When not working on our obedience training, he and I make bi-monthly visits to a senior community center and to a children's psychiatric facility. I work part-time outside the home (I'm a mom taxi) but Ranch will keep your pup company when I'm not there. We will have several repeat Rover and private dog sitting clients including Boris - a well-mannered German Shepherd who can't control his "licker", JackJack - 4 yr old Chocolate Lab who is a huge bundle of energy and very mischievous, and Lucky and Bailey, two wonderful Goldendoodles; sometimes human visitors will come and stay for several days. The dogs live in the living room while the human visitors stay upstairs in their own suite. Well-mannered dogs are welcome to stay here providing that all vaccines, monthly heartworm & flea/tick medications are given regularly. Your dog must be housebroken. Your dog will "go potty" by using the doggie door in the garage to access the dog run - Ranch will show her/him just where they can go. We live in Morgan Hill and there is a terrific very large dog park to romp in. Try us, you'll like us!

Sandi was amazing! I have a cat with special needs and needs medications and Sandi was able to see to all of her needs. She left wonderful "report cards" after every visit and always had pictures to share. I have already asked her for another booking!

Sandi was wonderful! Kept us posted on the dogs with lots of pictures. Had a great meet and greet visit. The dogs loved her and so did we. We’d definitely book with her again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
