Sandra was so great with my cat Koji!! Even though Koji was at times shy, Sandra gave her lots of attention and love throughout her visits, which definitely helped Koji do better while we were gone. She sent me tons of pics and videos and lots of updates. We had some last minute changes to the booking which Sandra was very accommodating with. I’m also at times an anxious pet mom, and Sandra was always very understanding and reassuring whenever I worried about my cat! She followed all instructions I provided and went above and beyond. I absolutely recommend her!

Sandy is awesome and our Ziggy just loves her. We unexpectedly had to go away again a couple weeks after she watched him the last time. Couldn't be happier than being able to book Sandy again to check in on him, put us totally at ease. She is super and helped when our "hold mail" did not work with the Post office. Thanks Sandy, you are awesome and Ziggy loves you.

Sandra took care of our Ziggy from June 22nd through June 27th. She did a wonderful job and we will definitely use her again when needed. She kept us updated daily, sent pictures and videos so we could see how he was doing. He was a little shy at first, but warmed up to her easily. We could tell he was very happy and loved the visits. Thanks Sandy, we really appreciated the great care you took of Ziggy.

Took fantastic care of our pup and you could tell in the pictures how happy she was. Her pup, Lulu , is as sweet as they come and very playful and tolerant. I will definitely use again and highly recommend.

Oliver and Sawyer had a wonderful time staying with Sandy and Lulu. They had such fun playing ball, running in the yard and made a new friend! Sandy is a fantastic care giver and treated our dogs like they were her own. They loved their time with her! Would absolutely recommend and use her again.

Sandy watched my cat, Priscilla, for an entire week while I was traveling. I was at ease knowing she was in good hands! Sandy is very trustworthy, communicative, and truly loves animals. She sent me pictures almost every day and I know Priscilla was well taken care of. I would recommend her to everyone who is in need of a pet caretaker. 10/10!

If your dog has any special diet, medication, or care needs please let me know and I’ll confirm if I can accommodate them. Most likely I can but what is most important to me is ensuring your pet has the care he or she needs. If for any reason I’m not sure I can accommodate special needs I will let you know to ensure you’re matched with a care provider that can. My ultimate goal is to endure your pet is happy, healthy, and loved.
