All My Heartbeats!!!

Hi there. I'm a retired farmer/rancher and have many years experience with all types of critters. My specialty is special needs elderly pooches and cats. But I love them all. I've always cherished the unconditional love that animals share. My job is to earn that love with respect and compassion. Thank you.

Sandra was wonderful to Lena and she had a great time on her stay. I received lots of pictures on her walk adventures and it’s very clear Lena felt right at home. Thanks so much, Sandra!

Sandra was very amendable to my hectic schedule and let me extend my booking a few days. However, I was very disappointed when I got my baby home and saw how much bigger than she was when I dropped her off and her crate and bed soaked with pee. I realize my mini dachshund is high maintenance, but she seemed willing to handle all the instructions i gave. Sandra has a great back yard and friendly pets.

Sandra was my caretaker for a few years when she had her farm in Central Texas. She was transparent and caring. I boarded my elderly horse with her and she periodically cared for my dog and cat when I was out of town. She communicated well and provided pictures and updates which eased my mind while I was elsewhere. She had full authority to contact the vet and when my horse needed attention, she managed that entire process to a successful outcome. I felt my horse was truly cared for and she is a natural at understanding not only dog but also cat speak. I'm just sorry she moved away. I highly recommend Sandra.
