Loving Care When You Can’t Be There

Hi, I’m Sandra! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 45 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, and a proud mom to my sweet 12 lbs Pomeranian, Bella. I’m 56 years old and have been trusted by pet parents for decades, which is reflected in my 5 star reviews on Rover. I currently work very close to home just 3 minutes away which allows me to check on the dogs at least three times during an 8 hour work shift, in addition to mornings, evenings, and overnight care. Your dog will never be left unattended for long periods and will always be part of a structured, attentive routine. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes from Chihuahuas to Great Dane but I now focus on boarding dogs under 40 lbs in my calm, cozy 2-bedroom apartment. I have extensive experience with senior dogs and dogs with special needs, including medication administration, mobility support, and providing extra patience and comfort. Your dog will enjoy a safe, calm, and loving home environment. Bella is friendly and used to having canine guests, so your pup will feel welcomed and comfortable. I provide regular walks, playtime, affection, and frequent updates, so you can feel confident knowing your dog is cared for like family.

We came to Las Vegas for a trip and left Theo with sandra and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience. Theo looked comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. The sitter kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s never easy leaving your dog with someone new, but they treated Theo like their own and made sure he felt safe and loved. I could tell Theo had a great time! I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Theo! ❤️🐾

Doggy Day Care • Jun 02, 2026

I dropped off Mochi at 6:00 AM and picked her up at 7:30 PM after a very busy day of studying and taking a test for school. I am so grateful for Sandra! She took amazing care of Mochi and is such a kind, caring, and sweet person. When I picked Mochi up, she was happy, playing, and looked completely at home. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in a loving environment with another friendly dog to keep her company. Sandra is incredibly sweet, hardworking, and genuinely loves the dogs she cares for. I can’t wait to continue bringing Mochi to her because I know she’s in great hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy to care for your pet, I highly recommend booking with Sandra. And if you can, please leave her a TIP she absolutely deserves it! Sandra made a great impression on both of me and Mochi. 🐾💕😊

I highly recommend Sandra! My dog Chester had a very nice time with her and Bella while I was away. It was my first time boarding my dog, but she was very reassuring and sent me lots of pictures of Chester's daily activities while I was away. It made me feel relaxed and that my dog was okay and taken cared of! :) she was also very patient when it came to picking up Chester, I was late because my flight was delayed, but she was so reassuring to not be worried. We appreciate you Miss Sandra, and we'll be booking again. Thank you! :)

We left our two dogs, Pudding and Choco, with Sandra for 3 days through Rover, and we are incredibly satisfied with the experience. It was so reassuring to see how carefully Sandra looked after them. The communication was excellent, and she kept us updated throughout their stay. Both dogs came home happy and well-cared for. We highly recommend Sandra to anyone looking for trustworthy pet care, and we will definitely be booking with her again whenever we visit Vegas. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our fur babies!

Schedule

My work schedule is from 2:00 pm to 10:00 pm. I work very close to home (only 3 minutes away), which allows me to return home during my breaks. During each break, I come back to check on the dogs, give them attention, refresh their water, and take them out for a 10-minute walk.

Safety, trust & environment

Each morning, I start the day with a 30 minute walk, unless the owner requests otherwise. After returning home, dogs are fed breakfast and enjoy 15 minutes of supervised playtime. I also play soft, relaxing music to help them feel calm, comforted, and not alone. Dogs are free to relax in any area of my home and always have unlimited access to fresh water. I maintain a clean and well sanitized environment, cleaning as often as needed to ensure comfort and safety. I provide a peaceful, loving space where dogs feel secure, cared for, and at home.

Pets

A typical day

Dogs wake up to a quiet, unhurried morning where they can stretch, relax, and ease into the day at their own pace. After breakfast, they enjoy light interaction and companionship in a peaceful home setting designed to reduce stress. Throughout the day, dogs have freedom to move comfortably around the home, rest where they prefer, and enjoy a calm atmosphere. I check in consistently and adjust care based on each dog’s energy level and personality. Evenings are focused on winding down with gentle activity, affection, and reassurance, helping dogs feel settled, safe, and ready for a restful night

Sandra can host up to 2 pets per night
I’d recommend that pet parents bring their dog’s regular food, favorite treats, toys, bed, blanket, or any comfort items your dog uses at home. Familiar items help dogs feel secure and reduce stress in a new environment. If your dog requires medications, please provide clear written instructions, including dosage and schedule. Bringing items with familiar scents helps your dog settle in more comfortably and enjoy a calm, happy stay.
