Highlights
Pet care experience
Love & Care for Every Paw
I have decades of experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities - from playful pups to gentle seniors. I offer calm, loving, attentive care and create a predictable, comforting routine while you’re away. I also own my home in a quiet neighborhood located in the heart of Hollywood, which has a large fenced in backyard for safe outdoor time, and a 2-block walk to DeLongpre Park, a gated community dog park for social play if your pup enjoys other dogs. Since I work from home, your dog gets steady companionship, peaceful walks, enrichment, cozy downtime, and lots of affection. My goal: a happy, relaxed pup and total peace of mind for you.

Ratings and reviews
Sandra is hands-down the best sitters we’ve found on Rover! Our dogs can be quite particular and often take a while to warm up to new people, but they took to Sandra immediately. She has such a patient, calm presence that kept them from feeling any of their usual anxiety while we were away. We really appreciated how trustworthy she is and loved the consistent updates. The photos and messages she sent gave us total peace of mind. We plan on booking Sandra as much as possible in the future. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Sandra is a lifesaver and I felt like my pups were in great care with her. I loved the photo updates!
Sandra is a wonderful sitter! Super communicative and attentive to my elder dog. Tinka loved laying in the sun on her back porch and will be back :)
Sandra provided excellent care for my very shy dog. She provided calm, loving, and attentive care for her and would stay in communication with me. I really appreciated Sandra being available for a last minute event I needed to attend to. I highly recommend Sandra if u want a safe environment and tender affection for your pet. Thank you Sandra!
I have known Sandra for years and can confidently say she is one of the most thoughtful and caring people I know, especially with animals. Her calm, intuitive energy makes pets feel safe and at ease, and she takes the time to understand each pet’s unique needs. Sandra shows up with patience, consistency, and genuine care when caring for senior pets, pets with medical needs, or those needing homely loving companionship. Like me, she works from home, provides a peaceful environment with a spacious backyard, and treats every pet like family. You would be thrilled to have her as their sitter.
I've been neighbors with Sandra for over 10 years, and during that time, I’ve seen firsthand the loving care she gives to her animals—of which she’s had many! Recently, Sandra stayed at my home and looked after my two pets: Dolly, my special 15-year-old Pekingese, and Bastet, my playful tortoiseshell cat. Dolly has specific physical needs and requires attentive, loving care, while Bastet is full of energy and needs active engagement. Balancing their needs isn’t easy, yet Sandra handled it with ease and confidence. When I returned, both pets were happy and content, and my home was in perfect shape. I highly recommend Sandra for her exceptional care and attention to detail.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home full-time, which allows me to give pets consistent companionship, attention, and a steady rhythm throughout the day. I take regular breaks for walks, fresh air, playtime, and snuggles - which dogs absolutely love, and truthfully, so do I. I also truly value the companionship. My own pets recently moved with my daughters to Montana, so spending time with animals brings joy, comfort, and a sense of connection that I really cherish. Evenings are calm and cozy at home, so your pup will enjoy a peaceful, loving environment after a balanced day of exercise and rest. Weekends offer longer walks, backyard time, and all the one-on-one affection they could want. Caring for animals isn’t just something I fit into my schedule - it’s something that fills my days with meaning.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety, comfort, and trust are at the heart of how I care for pets — whether in my home or in yours. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so I can create a calm, predictable environment where they feel secure. In my home, pets are welcomed into a peaceful, clean space with a large, fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor time. I supervise all outdoor play, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a pet-safe environment - no toxic plants or hazards. Walks are mindful and safe, with attention to surroundings, other dogs, and each pet’s comfort level. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow all instructions closely, maintain your pet’s routine, and keep things tidy and secure. I am attentive, present, and never rush pets - instead, I build trust at their pace, whether that means quiet companionship or playful engagement. My goal is always the same: a safe, nurturing space where animals feel relaxed, protected, and loved - and peace of mind for you while you're away.
A typical day
A typical day depends entirely on your pet’s needs and personality - I believe in following your routine and taking cues from your pet. Some animals thrive with adventure and play, while others prefer gentle walks, cozy naps, or quiet companionship. For active pups, our day might include neighborhood walks, sniff-filled strolls, enrichment games, and backyard playtime. For mellow pets or seniors, it may look like slow, calm walks, peaceful sun-bathing in the yard, brushing, soft affection, or simply resting nearby while I work from home. Throughout the day, I balance stimulation, rest, affection, and consistency - always prioritizing comfort, safety, and emotional wellbeing. At the end of the day, you can expect a happy, relaxed pet who felt understood, loved, and right at home.
