WFH Dog Mom w/ Large Fenced Yard 🐶
Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who specializes in providing a calm, predictable, and affectionate environment. I have raised my own toy poodle, Blaze, for over 5 years and grew up surrounded by family dogs, so I am very comfortable with various personalities from energetic puppies to shy seniors who need extra reassurance. My goal is to be your dog's 'home away from home.' Because I work from home 4 days a week, I can offer constant companionship and supervision. I pride myself on being patient, gentle, and highly communicative. You can expect frequent photo updates and a responsive sitter who treats your pup exactly like family.

Ratings and reviews
Sandra took a last minute booking to watch my 2 small dogs while I went out of town. My pups are on the shy side and take a while to feel comfortable in new surroundings, and she kept me updated with messages, photos and videos throughout the day. She completely put my mind at ease and they both seemed happy and well cared for when I picked them up at the end of their stay. Such a great experience!
Sandra is very communicative and reliable! Bingo had a great visit for daycare with her. She sent many pics and videos so I knew he was well taken care of. Will definitely book again!!
Sandra was great! She is kind and a good communicator. Appa was well taken care of!
Sandra took such great care of our boy. She sent daily pictures and videos. Will defiantly book again!

Schedule
Your dog will rarely be alone. Since I am home-based Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, my schedule is incredibly flexible. • Potty Breaks: Offered every 2–4 hours (or more frequently for puppies/seniors). • Supervision: I am present specifically to keep an eye on them during the workday. • Weekends: Available for full-time fun, boarding, and daycare. Note: I do not book on Wednesdays to ensure I can give 100% attention to guests on the days I am available.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home is designed to be a low-stress sanctuary. • The Yard: I have a large, fully fenced-in backyard. It is secure and checked regularly, allowing for safe, off-leash exploration. • Household Vibe: My home is quiet and child-free. This is ideal for dogs who get overwhelmed by loud noises or sudden movements. • My Dog: Blaze is a small, friendly toy poodle who loves making new friends but is respectful of boundaries. • Security: I am meticulous about door security and following your specific crate or gating instructions.

A typical day
Our day starts with a morning stretch and potty break in the yard, followed by breakfast. While I work, your pup is welcome to snooze on a dog bed in my office, curl up on the rug, or look out the window. We take 'enrichment breaks' throughout the day for fetch in the yard, cuddles, or a little training practice. Evenings are for relaxing on the couch and winding down. It’s a very chill, cozy routine that helps dogs settle in quickly.
