Pet Nutritionist <3 Long Walks

I am a pet nutritionist & trainer for a large retail chain, with a passion for animals. Since I travel periodically for my career, I'm unfortunately unable to have a dog of my own. When I'm not traveling, I work from home and certainly miss the company of a dog. Your pup will be with me always and a part of the family during his or her stay. I've fostered, rescued, walked & trained many puppers over the last decade in the pet industry. I have chew toys, food-rewarding puzzles & healthy treats to pamper your pooch during their stay. I'll be sure to go for a long morning & evening walks to tire your pup out. Or, perhaps a trip to a quiet park with a ChuckIt! The goal is for you to pick up a happy, healthy pup after a stay with me, as opposed to a stressed-out dog which is often the case with large boarding facilities. I only accept one dog at a time so know that yours will be another member of our family and our day will truly revolve around making sure they're happy & tuckered out!

Doggy Day Care • Jul 07, 2026

Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our fur baby today! We truly feel so lucky to have found you. Your communication was absolutely exceptional. The updates, photos, videos, and messages throughout the day gave us so much peace of mind and reassured us that our baby was happy, safe, and in the best possible hands. One of the biggest challenges whenever we plan an outing is finding someone we can genuinely trust to care for our dog. We've even skipped trips in the past because we couldn't find the right person. Today completely changed that for us. Your experience, patience, attention to detail, and the genuine love and care you showed made all the difference. We could tell our fur baby was comfortable and well cared for, and that means the world to us. We truly can't thank you enough. You are an exceptional dog sitter, and we're so grateful for everything you did. We look forward to having you care for our fur baby again in the future! Will recommend Sandra to anyone looking to take care of your fur baby to feel they are just like they are in home.

Sandra is absolutely wonderful! Our almost 2 year-old Pug Frenchie mix had a habit of pulling on our walks. We left her with Sandra for a three night, four day stay and she spent a lot of one on one time with her to correct these habits. It’s amazing what a few days of training can do! During her stay with Sandra she received so much attention, love, play time and socializing in a safe and positive environment. This will definitely be her home away from home when we are away. I can’t say enough amazing things about Sandra!

Sandra and her family were spectacular. Absolutely loved my dog in all of the right ways. He came back happy and healthy, and I'm a bit concerned about sharing this rating, as I don't want her to book up. I cn now travel again, knowing I have a safe dog sitter for our baby. Highly recommend.

Sandra was great with our dog Hiccup. She provided him lots of love and kept us up to date on his wellbeing and was always quick to reply. We'd have no hesitation in recommending Sandra to look after anyone's dog.

Schedule

Both my husband and I work from home and it is a very peaceful place. We like to take late morning or early afternoon breaks to walk the community. If your pup likes car rides, we can certainly include them when we head out to pick up our daughter or visit local parks. Our schedule revolves around the pups when they stay with us.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a high-fenced yard with a turf patch for the pups to potty on in summer months. My daughter is oftentimes back there playing with her water table while I read. We keep our home very peaceful. My daughter is taught to be patient and kind towards animals. When it isn't too hot for their paws, we can head on over to the several dog potty & park areas in my quiet community. The entire community is fenced as well and very safe.

A typical day

We enjoy going on 2-4 mile walks each day. Sometimes we go on light hikes or to local parks; to which we'd bring your pup. Your dog will always be safe on a leash with me and will likely pick up some better manners as I have spent some years as a dog trainer.

I LOVE giant breeds! They are a passion of mine. I have also owned my share of tiny dogs and they'll get smooches too, don't worry! I ask that your dog is cat-friendly, kid-friendly, potty-trained and non-leash-aggressive. For overnight stays, crate training is incredibly helpful so that your pup has a comfortable, safe-space to snuggle down for the night. I will follow all of your feeding guidelines; nothing is too crazy for us! I promise you will receive updates and, of course, lots of photos!
