Pet care experience

Animal lover to care for your pets

I am an animal lover. Always have been. I grew up on a farm and have worked on a couple as well. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, goats, cattle, pigs, sheep, even ferrets, raccoons and squirrels. Have always had multiple pets while growing up and currently have my 3 dogs and 2 cats. I've always enjoyed caring for animals. Brings me great joy and have always wanted to make it some kind of job. They bring a calming peace to me and I feel like I connect with all animals and that's why we get along so well. I am currently working full time in Madison at a doggy daycare and work at 3 different facilities. I have gained lots of experience with working with puppies all the way up to elderly dogs and all sorts of breeds. You won't be disappointed in choosing me to care for your family members. Thank you for your time checking out my profile and considering me.

Sandina has sat my pups multiple times, including my foster pup. She's awesome & clearly loves animals. Would recommend her to anyone!

Dina is absolutely wonderful! Shmoe can be very skittish arpund new people, so to hear that she came up for a sniff and played with the laser toy was amazing. Dina updated every day with new pictures and awesome stories. I think it's hilarious that Shmoe was so protective over her water bowl! She really is a good guard dog 😁 Thank you Dina, for bringing in our packages and taking care of our sweet girl. You're awesome!

Great communication! Sent pics and explanations of them. As a first time boarder, I had no real idea what to expect. Actually, I had a huge variety of things to fear lol. The daily photos and little update quips ("she loves the rocker by the window"), etc) salved my fretting immensely. Then, when I was involved in a horrible motor vehicle accident during the boarding, she was amazing with her willingness to aduust times ariubd her wirk schedule and when I could arrange transportation back home. This Rover provider is a 6 out of 5 star awesome-sauce experience. Don't pass her up!
