Pet care experience
TRAINED PET CARE PROFESSIONAL Hi, I live in downtown Silver Spring and people find it very convenient to drop off their pets with me. My building has a dog park, and there are two others plus a wooded area right in back of me. You can trust me with your precious pets. I do this full time and have years of experience. Some sitters are young, inexperienced, and unreliable. I trained as a vet assistant, trainer and groomer. I'm also an experienced dog owner and petsitter. I'm pet first aid certified and know all the local vets. Dog training seminars and pet care industry trade shows throughout the year allow me to offer advice and referrals if desired. Why settle for someone with another job when your dog will have my undivided attention? Don't settle for less. My dog loves afternoon playtime and so will yours. Due to space limitations I can only board small and toy breeds, dogs under 20 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.
Reviews
We love working with Sandi! She is so knowledgeable and kind. In the pics she sent us, our dog looked calm and like he was having a great time on his two-week stay at her place!
Sandi took great care of my boys in the week I was out of town. She even was able to grab our mail which was clutch over the holiday week. She takes notes during her meet up and was great about making note about things we wanted her to do.
Thank you Sandi. Full of knowledge and very helpful. Willing to go above and beyond. Highly recommended.
Sandi did a terrific job exercising our two 50-lb+ dogs. When we got home after the weekend they were too tired to even greet us properly! :)

My building has a dog park and there are two others just across the street. I have crates available for time outs and naps so dogs so don't get over-excited. But mostly they're on the couch with me and they seem to like it that way. 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

Information Sandi D. would like to know about your pet
It's extremely helpful if you leave out you pet's vet records for housesit petsits so I better know what I'm dealing with and can watch out for medical issues. They sometimes are stressed by you absence and behave differently. Oftentimes they aren't interested in food for a day or too. 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.
A typical day
The property in back of mine has a park like setting and a large dog park. There's also one across the street that's very busy if your dog needs a lot of exercise and playtime, with your permission of course.
