Pet care experience

Mature dog-lover that owns big dogs

I have owned dogs all my life, but currently own no dogs. Both my dogs died in 2025 at the age of 15 1/2. Have owned Rottweilers, beagles, Swiss Mountain dogs, redbone coonhounds, dachshunds, also small dogs. I am in good health, and responsible. I am retired from the Sugar Land Police Department. We have a large kennel, large fenced yard, large dog pool, food and water dishes and toys. We never let dogs outside without watching them. I know that dogs are more comfortable staying at home, especially older dogs, but because most people dont want strangers in their homes i usually board at my home. It would be my pleasure to care for your pet(s) in your absence. Dogs will get lots of love and attention while we watch them, and i will stay with dogs at all times when they are outside. If your dog has a favorite toy he likes to play with, i will provide exercise. Dogs can be taken to the Sugar Land Dog Park for an additional fee due to the time involved. Because I am retired, i will have plenty of time to spend with your pets and would love to spoil them just as i spoiled my own dogs.

Sandra was very attentive and read up extensively on the care sheet before the meet and greet. She had thoughtful questions that showed she truly read the material and understood the needs of my super senior dog. I was very anxious of leaving my elderly disabled pup in the care of strangers but she and her husband were very warm and sweet to him and he had a wonderful weekend with them.

Sandra took great care of Red, loved on him constantly, followed my instructions, and kept in touch with pictures and reports during his stay. I recommend her!

We had a wonderful experience with Sandra and her husband! She sent daily photos and updates, so we always knew Mochi was having a great time and being well cared for. It was obvious Mochi was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. As an extra thoughtful touch, Mochi even came home with some adorable gifts. We truly appreciated the excellent communication and care, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!

We absolutely love Sandi and her husband. They treat our dogs like family. When we are gone we know our babies are spoiled and loved. We don't leave them with anyone else anymore.

Sandra and her husband are very nice and lovely. They took care of my dog far beyond I could have imagined. It truly felt like my dog found his second home with them. They constantly sent me photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. You can really tell how much love and attention they give to the dogs they watch. I will absolutely be coming back again next time. Highly recommend!
