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.

Sandy was wonderful! This was our first booking with her. She was so attentive and accommodating with our labs. It was reassuring knowing Sandy was taking such great care of our fur babies. We definitely plan to use her for future dogs sitting needs!!

Sandy is a wonderful dog sitter and has a clear love and devotion to her client’s pups. She asks questions and genuinely wants to get to know each dog that stays with her. My dogs warmed up so quickly to her which is a testament to her caring nature. I am so happy I found her!

Sandra was fantastic! We were very nervous about leaving our puppy with a sitter for the first time. Sandra spent an hour with me at the meet and greet, asked lots of questions about Argo and answered all my questions. She sent us lots of photos and updates about how he was doing. We would definitely recommend Sandra to anyone!

Sandra was excellent with our girls. Juliet is always nervous when away from home. She also has separation anxiety. But after a day, she warmed up to Sandra and had a wonderful time playing with the others. Francesca absolutely loved it! We will definitely use Sandra again to watch our girls again!

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!
