Pet care experience
Hi! and welcome to my profile! Hi! My name is Sandi. I grew up in Eugene, Oregon and I've had dogs and cats all my life. At the moment we just have our 3 year old dog, Chaka. My husband and I and teenage daughter have lived in this house just a mile and a half east of the Venice boardwalk for 20 years. I am home full time so your pup will get plenty of attention when they are here. Our sweet tempered shepherd/mountain dog mix is very lovable with other dogs - all shapes and sizes. She loves them all the same. We have a doggie door so they can go in and out and play in the yard whenever they please. Our yard is surrounded by a secure 8' fence and 2 locked gates. I'm very active and am happy to take your pup for a walk, or to the dog park, beach, etc.. (Our dog goes out twice a day, every day so yours will too) Your baby will be in safe & loving hands with us :) Thanks for checking out my profile and I look forward to meeting your furry friend/s. **My daycare hours are from 8:00-9:00a drop off, 5:00-7:00p pick up. (10 hours max). I'm flexible if your schedule doesn't permit drop off & pick up during these hours but the stay should be no longer than 10 hours. **My boarding hours are flexible but generally 8:00-10:00a drop off with pick at the same time the following day (24 hours). Late pick up is an additional $20. **I never take more than 2 dogs, and only if they are from the same family. I work with 1 client at a time.
Reviews
Sandi was absolutely amazing with our dog and her communication. She updated us on everything that was important to know and sent the perfect amount of photos and videos. In one overnight boarding, Sandi has gained our trust, and that is not something that can be said for other sitters we have tried.
My new rescue Lab Lilah is loving her daycare playdates with Sandi and her wonderful dog, Chaka! Sandi has a great house and fenced yard, and is very responsible and attentive. Her dog Chaka is the sweetest, playful shepherd and has made Lilah feel at home. We've had 3 visits so far - once for the meet-and-greet, once for a very short stay to help ease Lilah into my leaving her there, and then yesterday she stayed all afternoon. Sandi sends lots of great photos and video clips so I could see how happily the dogs were playing and resting together. If you have a nice playful dog, I highly recommend Sandi and Chaka! :)
Sandi is amazing! Sandi's dog is amazing! Sandi's family is amazing! Sandi's home and yard are amazing too. Charlie Brown has been spoiled this past week with a beautiful, safe home, a super fun playmate to keep him company and wear him out, and great people giving him love and attention. And Sandi herself is the best - super communicative regarding Charlie Brown - photos, updates - but also just a super cool person as a person. I mean, what more could you ask for - safe, fun, love, play. There aren't enough stars on this thing for a proper review. I almost don't want to recommend her b/c she only watches a couple dogs at a time, and I want mine to be one of them...
FANTASTIC! This was our first time ever leaving our dog with anyone other than family and it was obvious that Sandi loved and cared for our dog as though he was her own. He's a 5-month old puppy and really enjoyed playing with her 11-month old the entire time. He came home extremely tired which was perfectly fine with us. Sandi was great about sending photos and videos to help us feel better about leaving him for 3 days. If we ever need to board Tango again Sandi would certainly be our #1 choice!

Information Sandi W. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if your pup is up to date on all vaccinations and flea medication. Dogs must be fixed. A meet & greet is also a must. I want to make sure your dog is comfortable with our dog and in our home. At least one daycare before an overnight visit is important as well. If your dog has a special diet or needs medication, I completely understand and will make sure their needs are taken care of. Our dog has allergies and our last dog needed medication as she got older so I have plenty of experience with this.
