Pet care experience

I like animals more than people!

I have been watching animals as my full-time profession for over 12 years. I am very loving, nurturing, patient, trustworthy, organized and dependable, which helps me succeed in my speciality of watching the animals out of their homes. However, I do have a very friendly shih-tzu in my home that allows me to watch dogs in my home as well. Half of my yard is fenced in, and the other 1/2 has two leads in case there are dogs that may need separated. I also will walk them daily for exercise. At the meet and greets, I go over a plan where we set the number of hours I can be gone for my walks and visits, and I work within the time frame requested. However, if your pets need let out, fed, etc any where under six hours, I will need to adjust my pricing. I have to honor my regular customers as well. I have worked with all sizes of dog, administer medications, insulin injections, seizure experience, and am known to be very strong, and able to handle the larger breeds. I also have worked with dogs with severe anxiety issues, abused dogs, puppies and blind/deaf elderly dogs. I hope this helps you decide in your search for your furry family members. Please reach out to me for your animals care needs. Barks and Meows, Sandy This is my full time job so I have plenty of time to care for your animals. I set up an allotted time I can be gone and work within those limits. At my home I have two leads in my large yard, or they can be walked daily if needed. I never let them outside on their own. At your home I follow your instructions so that their safety is protected.

Had a wonderful experience! My dog was well cared for from the moment he arrived. I received daily updates with photos, which gave me great peace of mind while away. He got plenty of walks, playtime, and attention, and she made sure he was eating and adjusting comfortably to his new surroundings. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup and would absolutely book with Sandra again. Highly recommend!

Very happy with Sandra. We have a very high energy, anxious dog, but she stuck with him through the transition until he got comfortable. She communicated everything to us and helped us feel at ease the whole time. We'll definitely be bringing our dog back!

Sandy did a great job caring for our Jack. She asked lots of questions, sent us lots of pics & videos and was very attentive to his comfort while in her home. We love how well she cared for Jack.

Sandy was incredible with both of my animals! She was communicative and engaged with my dog. I really felt like she cared about Molly like she would her own dog. I will absolutely contact Sandy for any of my pet sitting needs in the future! Molly can’t wait to come back!

Schedule

This is my full time profession, so my rates maybe slightly higher than some, but I leave the dogs very minimally. I gave more time to spend with your animals.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large yard with 4 leads. Also half of my yard is fenced in. They are never left outside unattended. Will provide daily walks as well if needed. Someone is always home with your dogs but could be crated if needed. At your home if I watch your animals, I am very trustworthy and follow directions to a tee. I respect your home and leave it the same as when I got there.

Pets

A typical day

Daily walks, visiting other friendly dogs for play time, toy time, lots of cuddle time and I also attended classes for pet massage so I will include that as will. Will give a bath too if needed!
