"Dogcation Heaven with Heart"

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 took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town. We will definitely reach out and use her services again!

We feel so lucky to have found Miss Sandi! She truly loved on our boy, and we could tell he was incredibly well taken care of while we were away. Typically, our dog can be quite anxious, but he was relatively chill when we got home, which is the biggest compliment we could give to a sitter. Her communication was amazing- she sent consistent updates that gave us total peace of mind. She was so thoughtful, always wishing our family well and making us feel confident that everything was great at home. We couldn't be happier with the care she provided and are already looking forward to working with her for all of our future needs!

Sandi was great as usual, going over and beyond. I have extremely shy cats- she knows how to give them their space. She is awesome with communication. Sandi is the best if you needed peace of mind when you have to leave your fur babies for a few days.

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 can host up to 8 drop-ins per day
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.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
