Faithful friend of your pet 🐾"*.

🐾 Dog Care with Door-to-Door Pickup Service 🚗 Make your life easier with my door-to-door pickup and drop-off service. Available for both daily daycare and extended boarding stays. Your dog gets a fun ride, and you get total convenience. At the end of their stay, I return them safe, happy, and directly to your doorstep (service area dependent). --- ❤️ Care with Experience & Heart, Forged with Real Dogs My love for dogs and my practical experience come from raising and caring for my three dogs in Colombia for years: an energetic Pitbull and two sensitive Cocker Spaniels. This journey taught me the essentials: · 🐾 I understand "misunderstood" breed needs: Pitbulls deserve respectful leadership, not stereotypes. Cocker Spaniels need attention and gentleness. · 🦴 I tailor care to each dog's unique personality: No two dogs are alike, and I know that well. Is yours shy, hyperactive, or a little stubborn? I speak their language. · ❤️ I will care for yours with the same love and knowledge I gave my own. I also work alongside my husband, Carlos, which allows us to provide near-constant supervision. Your dog will enjoy steady companionship, safety, and tons of love. ✅ My Commitment to You When I care for your dog, I don't just follow instructions: · 📱 I'm flexible and communicative: I'll send you photos and updates because I know what it's like to be away from your pet. · 🧠 I provide knowledgeable handling: I understand canine stress signals and adapt activities accordingly (secure walks for strong dogs, gentle play for seniors). · 🏡 I offer a dedicated environment: My schedule and my heart are open to pampering your best friend. 📞 Ready for your dog to have a safe, fun, and love-filled experience? Contact me, and let's talk about how I can help!

Our puppy Aspen had a great time spending a few days with Sandra and her family! He seemed very happy and well taken care of during his time there. I really appreciated the picture updates that Sandra sent us. We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you for taking such good care of him!

Sandra has become my go to sitter when I am out of town. My pup has has had amazing experiences with her and her family. He always comes back happy and tired from a week of being part of their family and I have peace of mind knowing he is well cared for. She is responsive and great about sending updates throughout the stay.

Sandra & her family are so great! This was my first time booking with Rover & I was so lucky to find Sandra. It can be difficult to find someone who not only tolerates, but appreciates the quirks of beagles & she does. I have an energetic senior beagle with medication needs & Sandra was so accommodating with him. She asked questions when needed, which I knew meant she was being very diligent with his care. I received picture updates which helped me be able to relax while on vacation knowing my boy was in great hands. Her family loves your pet as their own. Her son is amazing with dogs! He gave me little polaroids of Louie that he took at pickup, which was the sweetest gesture. I will definitely be booking with her in the future.

Sandra and her family took very good care of our Madi while we were away. They sent us many photos showing her on walks and relaxing inside. Madi was calm and happy when we picked her up. We highly recommend Sandra!

Sandra was very responsive and flexible!! She and her family made sure my dog felt comfortable and had company throughout the day. She sent us plenty of updates while we traveled abroad and gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend!

Rubix was well cared for and immediately felt comfortable in the home. We were given lots of pictures and updates and never had any concerns! I highly recommend and look forward to Rubix staying again.

Safety, trust & environment

I offer personalised and 100% safe care in MY HOME, where your pet will receive:** 🏡 **An adapted space**: Separate areas for active dogs (like my Pitbull) and quiet areas for the most sensitive (like my Cockers). 🐕 **Experience with 'difficult' breeds**: I know how to manage strong energy and anxiety with patience and proven techniques. - 📲 **Total transparency**: I send photos, videos and daily reports so you can see how happy your furry is. - ❤️ **Seasonal love**: While I wait for my 3 dogs (who are in Colombia), your pet will be my absolute priority." **Why in my house? ** "I prefer to care in a controlled environment, where everything is prepared for safety and comfort, no surprises!" _.

A typical day

1. **Daily walks** - Routes through the park, beach or green areas. 2. **Interactive games** - Launch ball, frisbee or hide prizes for them to look for them. 3. **Basic training** - Teach him commands such as "seated", "quiet" or "gies". 4. **Socialisation** - Take him to areas with other dogs (if he is sociable). 5. **Smell activities** - Games with hidden snacks or food dispenser toys.

0 to 15 lbs
Sandra can host up to 3 pets per night
1. Basic information about the pet:** *Name, age and breed* (e.g.: is it a hyperactive puppy or a calm senior dog?). **Size and weight** (to prepare yourself if you need to carry it or control its strength on walks). **Type of animal** (it is not the same to take care of a dog than a cat, a rabbit or a reptile). **2. Health and special needs:** **Vaccines a day** (especially important for dogs that will go for a walk). **Chronic diseases, allergies or medications** (e.g. diabetes, arthritis, etc.). *History of anxiety or stress* (do you get nervous with other dogs? Does he cry if he's left alone?). **Specific diet** (amount, schedules, prohibitions such as "you can't eat chocolate"). 3. Behaviour and personality:** *Energy level* (do you need 3 intense walks a day or only short outings?). *Socialisation* (do you get along with other dogs, cats or children?). *Afears or traumas** (e.g.: afraid of thunder, doesn't like men with hats, etc.). *Commands he knows** (if he is trained, you can reinforce commands like "quiet" or "come")
