Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routines, and personality to ensure they feel loved and secure while under my care. For dogs, I provide regular walks tailored to their energy levels, ensure they’re fed according to their specific dietary needs, and spend quality time playing and cuddling to make them feel at home. I’m experienced with preparing fresh meals if required and oral administering medications when needed. For cats, I ensure their feeding schedules are maintained, litter boxes are clean, and I offer plenty of play and affection (or give them space if that’s their preference!). In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and maintain the pet’s familiar routines to help reduce stress while you’re away. My goal is to give your pets the same level of care and love I provide to my own.

Sandra was a great petsitter for our cat. She was responsive, sent plenty of pictures, provided a thorough update every day we were gone, and our cat was really comfortable with her. Strongly recommend her if you need a petsitter!

Sandra was great. All the animals were well taken care of and she sent a ton of pictures. Was great to see that while I was so far away. Would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Sandra was awesome. She sent me updates and pictures after every visit. She treated Cleo as she was her own pet. She was a wonderful caretaker. Definitely will have her take care of Cleo again. Thank you, Sandra!

Sandy was an amazing care taker for my easily stressed kitty. She is very reliable and went above and beyond to make sure Koko and myself as a worried pet parent are comfortable. I highly recommend Sandy as a pet sitter.

I worked with Sandy at a puppy store and the experience was always a pleasure! She had a natural ability to connect with every puppy, treating each one with patience, care, and love. She always went the extra mile to make sure every puppy was comfortable and happy. Sandy was also incredibly reliable, always stepping in to help with tasks like administering medications or cleaning cages without hesitation. Her dedication and passion for animals was evident in everything she did, and I know any pet owner would be lucky to have her care for their furry family members!

Hello! I’m an experienced and passionate pet lover with a lifetime of caring for animals! My journey began in childhood with my poodle, Pepper, who taught me the joy and responsibility of pet ownership. I helped walk, feed, and play with him daily, which sparked my love for caring for animals. As a parent, I raised two wonderful dogs and cared for four cats throughout my daughter’s upbringing. I even worked at a puppy shop for 3.5 years, where I gained hands-on experience grooming puppies, cleaning their living spaces, and administering oral medications. Now my husband and I are proud pet parents to a 5-year-old French Bulldog, Lola, who has become the heart of our home as empty nesters. I take joy in cooking for her, taking her on regular walks, and making playtime a priority. With decades of experience and a true love for animals, I understand the importance of providing pets with the care, attention, and affection they deserve. Whether it's walking, feeding, or playing, I’d love to care for your furry family members as if they were my own.

Before caring for your pet, I like to gather as much information as possible to ensure I provide the best care tailored to their needs. Some key things I’d love to know include: Daily Routine: What is their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest? Personality and Preferences: Are they shy or outgoing? Do they have favorite toys, activities, or spots they like to hang out? Health Information: Do they have any allergies, medications, or special dietary needs? Behavioral Traits: How do they handle new people, other animals, or certain situations (like car rides, loud noises, or being left alone)? Training and Rules: Are there specific commands or rules they follow, like not jumping on furniture or staying off-leash in certain areas? Emergency Details: Do they have a preferred vet, and are there any emergency contacts I should know about? The more I know about your pet’s needs and personality, the better I can create a safe, happy, and stress-free experience for them while you’re away.
