Pet care experience

Your fur baby’s biggest fan!

I grew up with a beagle and have loved animals my whole life. Since moving to Seattle, I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for friends’ dogs and cats. I’m reliable, easygoing, and committed to following your pet’s exact routine and preferences. I’m experienced with caring for multiple dogs at once, but I’m equally happy to host just your pet if you prefer a one-on-one environment. No matter the breed or personality, your pet will be cared for with patience, attention, and lots of love.

I was struggling to find a last minute dogsitter since my other sitter canceled on me. Sandra was able to take my dog and I'm so happy I was able to find her after days of searching for sitters. She did an awesome job taking care of my corgi who gets reactive with other dogs and would send updates and photos regularly. I always get anxiety when someone takes care of my dog but I felt at ease with her. I would totally book again! :)

Sandra is our go-to sitter for Darla! Our girl loves her and we always feel at ease when she is in Sandra's care. Thank you for always being so prompt, communicative, and for always taking such great care of her.

We had a family emergency and needed someone to watch Darla for five nights while we were away. Sandra responded to our message right away and Darla immediately loved her as soon as they met. Sandra took such wonderful care of her the entire time. She was an excellent communicator and sent great updates and photos throughout Darla’s stay, which we really appreciated. When we picked Darla up, she was full of energy and in a great mood, which is a clear sign that she was well cared for. Sandra is amazing, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind sitter. We’re so grateful we found her.

Schedule

I work from home and tend to be a home body! But I always make time to go outside. Because I work from home I am available to pet more often than not! I love taking your fur baby to as many places as possible as well when running errands. I have a pet cover for my car and love taking a ride with some company.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a nice and well kept apartment and am always willing to mess it around a bit for a pet! If I am in your home, I treat it as if my own. I follow any rules that you have for your pet in my own home, as to maintain the consistency and help with their anxiety. Happy to take them to your typical walking routes or any parks that they enjoy.

A typical day

I love taking your fur baby on trails and to the waterfront. I also typically go to trubistro cafe in first hill where your fur baby will get to hangout with me and my friends who are the baristas!

If you prefer your dog to be the only one during their stay! I ask regardless if I get a request, but just in case. Also do let me know if your pet can NOT be alone under any circumstance helpful for me to know so I can make sure my schedule works for them.
