Pet care experience

Reliable Animal Lover and Rescuer !

Hi, I’m Sandi! As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your home and beloved pets in someone else’s care. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’ve spent years rehabilitating and helping stray animals of many different species, along with caring for my own pets, including senior cats with strict medication schedules. Because of that experience, I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines. Whether your pet requires medications, extra patience, playtime, special feeding instructions, or simply a familiar routine, I take those responsibilities seriously. When caring for your home, I treat it with the same respect and attention to detail that I would expect for my own. I can provide pet feeding, medication administration, litter box maintenance, mail and package collection, plant care, trash and recycling management, home check-ins, and regular updates (with pictures included) so you always know your pets and property are doing well. You’ll be happy to know that I’m often praised for my problem-solving abilities and excellent communication. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and genuinely take pride in creating a safe, comfortable environment for both pets and homeowners. I know that trust is everything in this line of work, and I work hard to earn it. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets with kindness and your home with respect, I’d love to connect and see how I can help make your life easier! Thanks for reading. Chat soon :)

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. Pets are often most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise and enrichment preferences, and any household guidelines provided by the owner. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, water intake, litter box habits, and overall well-being so that I can quickly recognize any changes that may need attention. For cats especially, I understand how important routine and a low-stress environment can be. I maintain a clean and secure environment by keeping food and water areas tidy, cleaning litter boxes regularly, ensuring doors and windows remain secure, and removing any obvious hazards. I also treat every home with the utmost respect and can assist with mail collection, plant care, trash and recycling management, and general home check-ins. Communication is a top priority. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving attentive care while they’re away. I never view pet sitting as simply feeding and leaving.. I spend quality time interacting with each pet so they receive companionship, enrichment, and attention in addition to their basic care needs.

Sandi was so great with our dog Beau! She gave us plenty of updates and took great care of him. She was so attentive! He was a happy dog when we returned home. We hope to be able to book her again soon! Thank you again ❤️

Recently hired sandi after my last sitter moved away. This is the fastest I've ever seen nami take to someone. She's usually a nervous and reserved pupperino, but with sandi she's very comfortable and playful. Super clutch find.

My wife and I LOVE having sandi around Patricia!! She has come in absolutely clutch ever since we moved here. She goes the extra mile when caring for our baby not just walking and playing, but she also grooms and bathes her. At this point, she's part of ghe family. Thank you sand!! We truly appreciate you.

Sandi is absolutely WONDERFUL!!! She bonded with zuko so quickly, it was uncanny. He absolutely loves walking and hanging out with her. To the point where just hearing her name or voice makes him get the zoomies 🤣🤣🤣. 10/10 highly recommend

Schedule

Animal care has been part of my everyday life for years. My flexible schedule allows me to be available during times when many sitters are not, including daytime hours, extended visits, and last-minute care needs when availability permits. Because I spend much of my time working from home and managing my own schedule, I can provide a higher level of attentiveness, communication, and consistency than someone limited to evenings and weekends. This flexibility is especially beneficial for senior pets, pets requiring medication, or animals that thrive with extra companionship and routine. Providing dependable, compassionate care isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule. It’s something I intentionally make time for every day.
