Information Sandi O. would like to know about your pet

I have recently cared for a 15-year-old dog, so I understand the needs of seniors. I also know that some dogs do well more as a homebody and just want couch time and time with a limited amount of people and dogs. Having one client at a time, I readily adjust to your dogs needs.

A typical day

Dogs need physical and mental stimulation. I love walking dogs and have a small park around the corner from me. This helps the dogs feel fulfilled! Sometimes my job is to just sit with them on the couch, and if that is what is needed, that is what I do.

Professional Experience with Dogs!

Pet care experience

With me, your dog gets Experience and Exclusivity! Let your dog have a vacation at my home while you are away. Board your pet with someone who truly had "doggy knowledge". Your dog will be the star while with me as I only board one family's pets at a time. I am a former dog show person and have worked for professional dog handlers! I bred, trained, and showed dogs. I realize some dogs can stress or be timid when away from their owner and home; I am ready to help your four-footed family member relax. I am also experienced in administering medicine. I am known as "the dog lady" and local people ask my advice. :) Interesting fact: I am also a professional dog photographer. I can host two dogs if they are all from the same household. I am an empty nester who recently lost her senior Standard Poodle at 15 years old. So now, I am looking to show affection and care for other people's dogs. I LOVE walking a dog if your dog enjoys that, and there is a nice park around the corner. With me, your dog gets Experience and Exclusivity!

I have a fenced yard, mostly privacy fencing and I also live on a quiet cul-de-sac. I will walk your dog daily if that is what your pet likes, weather-permitting. I can also send photos daily, to assure you that all is well. Multiple pets are allowed from the same household. Exclusivity! I schedule my time around your pets! I specialize in House Sitting; consider letting your dog have a Stay-cation without stress. I am also readily available for Extended Drop-Ins and can entertain your dog's needs as desired. **I am located 7 miles from DFW International!** Exclusivity and Experience. Your dog is my top priority. You get exclusivity and expertise with my care. I only schedule one dog at a time when boarding. I have no dogs, so there will never be an incompatibility issue. If I am house-sitting your dogs, THEIR normal schedule is what I follow.

Sandi is amazing! She has so much knowledge about dogs and shows so much love for my baby! She keeps me updated during her visits with texts and pictures. I hate when I’m away from her all day (I’m retired so her life is with me, except on days when I’m “working” judging gymnastics and gone for 12-13 hours! Sandi lets me know she is on her way, and the pictures she sends are amazing! Last visit I got a video of her walking in calling for my girl. When she came running wiggling, wagging and kissing warmed my heart!

Sandi is exceptional. It was our first time leaving our two dogs with anyone other than friends or family. Sandi is so knowledgeable about dogs it is so comforting. She updates you on how they are doing sending adorable pictures and posting you on walks, mealtimes, naps etc. You can tell she truly loves what she does and is very invested in the well being of the dogs she cares for. I would recommend her to anyone especially if you are nervous at all about leaving your dog for a get away. She put me at ease and our dogs had a wonderful experience.

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.
