Information Sandra L. would like to know about your pet

How can I make your pet most comfortable? Where do they prefer to sleep? Do they have any allergies? Any special toys or treats they enjoy? Will always do my best to make your pets feel safe and adored.

A typical day

With two of my own pups, and three growing boys at home, your pets will have as much or as litte interaction and play time as they crave and enjoy. We have a fenced in back yard, but also enjoy walking around the neighborhood, a good game of fetch, or even time teaching your dog a new trick. We will have you snuggled in for a nice nap and ready with an appetite for dinner!

Open-home environment, your pets are invited to our entire living space and are treated as part of the family! Pets must be dog and child friendly and up-to-date on vaccines!

Sandy took such great care of our pup, Winnie, during doggy daycare. She was extremely accommodating and responsive, and even sent us photos and videos throughout the day. You can tell she treats any dog in her care as her own!

Sandy has been absolutely wonderful with my Cavapoo, Max. Every time she watched him at her home, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. She regularly sent photos and videos along with updates, which truly meant so much and reassured me that Max was happy and well cared for. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. I highly recommend Sandy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive pet sitter! She will treat your pup like her own!

We can’t say enough good things about Sandy! She’s an amazing sitter and takes such good care of our girl. It’s so reassuring to know our dog is getting tons of love and playtime instead of being stuck in a crate. I love getting the photo and video updates she sends throughout the day! Our pup has a blast with Sandy's dogs—in fact, she’s always so excited to go inside as soon as we arrive. It’s truly the perfect environment.

Sandra L. is the best! I have used Sandra on many occasions. Sandra takes such good care of my pup and treats him like he is part of her family. She is an experienced dog owner, having two pups of her own, which makes my pup love going there as he has instant playmates. Sandra keeps me updated every day my pup is with her with text messages and photos. I would highly recommend Sandra L.
