Love and care for ur baby as my own

Pet care experience

I have had pets 40+ yrs. Fur Babies of ALL kinds but most recently I have current little girl. I have adopted a 9 yr old Chihuahua that is the most social pup I have ever had. I have had dogs from Akita's, Shepard's, Chi's, Cocker Spaniel's, Mixed, Labs, Coton de Tulear,etc. I have cared for puppies to seniors needing shots and oral meds on very specific schedules. I love them all. I have outstanding references from pup owners as well as character references from friends of 40 yrs...I cared for their 2 elderly Siamese. I care for ur little ones as if they r my own. I am an excellent plant waterer and trash remover. I care for ur home as if it were my own....I'm a bit of a clean freak myself..teehee. I will not leave u with a sink full of dirty dishes or full trash cans and I bring my own food. Any potty accidents...of course I will take care of them. Having my pup with me keeps her and myself happy...lol. I don't worry about him nor does he worry about me. He gets along with kitties as well as dogs. I follow ur walking and feeding schedules causing as little upset to ur babies as possible. They r already sad that u aren't there! If ur babies sleep with u they will sleep with me. I will throw their toys around, scratch their bellies and keep them as hapoy as possible...bored pups r unhappy pups. I feed my girl separatly so there r no food issues. I cause as little change in their routine as possible. I have cared for pups needing almost round the clock meds. I just set my alarm for their med times...not a problem. If u would like me to bath them, we can discuss that. I do light grooming...I don't want ur little ones walking around with fur in their eyes. I truly care for ur little ones as if they r my own. Lots of ear scratches and belly rubs. Brushing pups sometimes soothes them as well..just leave their brush out for me. I promise to care them to the very best of my ability. I am a former business owner from Manhattan, NY. In my business life I wined and dined heads of Investment Banking, Advertising, Marketing, Design, Law Firms, etc. Basically, u name and I probably had them on my client list...lol. I only mention my business background, as I hope it will tell u a bit about me . I have manners...lol. I would be honored to care for ur little Fur Babies. I will also care for ur plants, mop and vacuum ur floors so u do not come home from a vacation to do housework. I don't mind doing this when it is needed but I am a dog sitter, not a maid. I do this on my own so u don't come home from a vacation or visiting friends/relatives and need to clean a messy home AND return to work. I do this mostly for extended stays but also stay on top of this for shorter stays. When I stay in ur home, I respect ur home. I never leave ur home. I am there to care for some of ur most precious being/s.

I am so grateful to have found Sandra. She is so kind, sweet, and caring. My dog jade was very happy in her care, and I was very happy with all of the updates that she sent over to me. Will definitely be rebooking her in the future in Las Vegas.

We absolutely couldn't say enough kind things about Ms. Sandra. She is incredibly kind and thoughtful, towards you and your puppy. Her communication is superb - not too much, not too little, but just perfect, prompt and heartwarming. We feel completely certain of our girl's safety and happiness when she is with her in her lovely home and community, being walked multiple times per day, snuggling with her dog Misti and getting all the belly scratches. Sandra is top notch, and we're so grateful to have found her on here.

Information Sandra D. would like to know about your pet

What is ur dog's temperment. What do they like or dislike. R they afraid of thunder and if so what calms them down. I wrap my guy in a towel and hold him tightly. Maybe ur pup likes this. Maybe they require medication during these times. I need to know if they sleep on the bed with u, in a crate or certain room. Do they require medication and how do u give it to them. When meeting pups it is important to get down on their level and not tower over them. Scratch them under the chin first, not on yop of the head until they know u. Most pups prefer to be off the leash when first meeting as they feel more in control. These r things I have learned after having a variety of fur babies all my life. I don't care what breed ur dog is. My only concern is size as my girl is about 7 lbs. and I like to keep pups around that size or up to mid-size. I feed ur pups and mine separately so no fussing over food bowls or eating each others food as it can upset their delicate stomachs. I make sure to feed them on ur schdule and that they ALWAYS have clean, fresh water without food crumbs in it. Please ask me anything or apprise me of anything ur pups need or like. Again...this is all about them.

A typical day

I will walk ur pup where u walk them. If they play in ur backyard I stay in the yard with them. They maybe used to ur backyard pool but I will be right there with them. Their little lives r in my hands and I take that VERY seriously. Basically, I do as little to deviate from their routine as possible. I have cared for pups up to 2 weeks at a time while Mom and Dad r away. I have no responsibilities as I am retired but, ur little ones. I am available at a moment's notice.
