Highlights
Pet care experience
Full Time Professional Petcare
I'm a full time caregiver for your furry friends! Why settle for less? live in downtown Silver Spring where it's very convenient to drop off your pets with me. My building has two dog parks for fun playtime and exercise for your pets. You can trust me with your precious pets. I do this full time and have years of experience. Also trained as a vet assistant, trainer and groomer. I'm an experienced dog owner and sitter. I'm pet first aid certified and know all the local vets. Dog training seminars and pet care industry trade shows allow me to offer advice and referrals if desired. Why settle for someone with another job when your dog will have my undivided attention? Due to space limitations I can only board small and toy breeds, dogs under 30 lbs., sorry. For larger dogs I'm available for pet sits in your home, where your dog is most comfortable anyway. I can offer basic grooming, bath and trim, small dogs only at this time. I'm a college grad, reliable and responsible. Your best friend is safe with me. They'll also have fun and lots of cuddles as I'm retired and able to spend all day with them.

Ratings and reviews
Luna seems very fond of Ms. Sandi. She is kind and keeps us informed of Luna's needs. She sent a predictably adorable picture of her to us while we were away. This is Luna's second stay with Sandi D. Both times she's done well for us all. Thank you, Ms. Sandi.
Sandi is a wonderful, reliable and caring dog lover!
Charlie had an excellent time with Sandi. A real pleasure!
Sandi was helpfully communicative and went above and beyond when our flight home got canceled. We really appreciate it!
Sandi is a gem. 10/10 recommend her.
Sandi was a wonderful sitter for our Charlie. Very attentive and responsive and Charlie had the best time and will be returning soon.

Schedule
I'm a full time animal lover with lots of time to spend with furry friends! My life revolves around their schedule of feeding, playtime and of course walks.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My complex has two dog parks for fun and exercise. I have crates and an ex pen for time outs and naps so dogs so don't get over-excited. I strive to deserve your trust and that of your precious pets with responsible and loving care. The kindness we show our little charges is usually repaid tenfold and that's the fun of working with animals.
A typical day
Lots of open space, trees and grass at my complex for sniffy walks. In addition to potty breaks dogs get daily playtime and exercise in a small dog park where we're usually the only ones there, or in a bigger one if that suits them. They'll also cuddle on the bed for evening TV viewing and nighty night.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsTakes only 1 client at a timeSandi can host up to 2 pets per night
- No need to bring bulky items like beds and crates, I have them. No large bags of food please as they can be heavy. An old shirt w/your scent and a fave toy may make your dog more comfortable. It's best if leaving written instructions to put them in the app for easy reference. Please include vet and emergency contact info if available and if traveling out of country or to a different time zone it's good to let me know how best to contact you, i.e. email or phone. It's extremely helpful if you leave out your pet's vet records for housesit petsits for reference, so I can watch out for any medical issues. Pets are sometimes stressed by your absence and behave differently. Oftentimes they aren't interested in food for a day or two. Let me know if they can have fresh food, table scrapes, etc. to encourage them to eat. High value treats are helpful if there are any behavior issues. I look forward to caring for your pet!
