I’m planning to transition out of my hourly job and become a full-time sitter while in school. Balancing classes and work can be a lot, but pet care has always been something that brings me joy and helps me decompress. I carefully plan my schedule to make sure I’m fully present and attentive with every pet I care for. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I’m committed to providing consistent, loving, and reliable care that fits both your pet’s needs and my routine.

Safety, trust & environment

I focus on creating a calm, safe, and engaging environment that matches each pet’s routine and comfort level. In my home, I keep things clean, pet-proofed, and stocked with toys, cozy spaces, and outdoor access for breaks and playtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific habits or routines. I make sure pets feel secure and loved, whether they’re in familiar surroundings or visiting mine.

Information Sandra Marcelina L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what your pet enjoys most so I can make sure they have a great time while you’re away. Whether it’s playing fetch, going for walks, chasing toys, or just relaxing with some cuddle time, I’ll match their energy and personality. If your pet has any special needs, habits, or quirks, I’m happy to accommodate them to help them feel comfortable and safe.

A typical day

When I watch pets, I like to keep them happy, active, and comfortable. For dogs, I’ll take them on walks, play fetch, or have tug-of-war games. For cats, I enjoy interactive play with toys like feather wands or laser pointers, and I make sure they get plenty of cuddle time if they’re the affectionate type. If it’s a smaller pet like a rabbit or guinea pig, I’ll let them safely explore a pet-proofed area and give them attention and enrichment. I always try to match the activity to their personality so they feel loved and engaged while their owner is away.

Fun and Comfort While You’re Away

Pet care experience

I bring a unique blend of patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals that helps me quickly build trust with both pets and their people. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs whether that means keeping a playful pup busy or making sure a senior dog feels safe and comfortable. Here’s a bit about my experience: • Puppy care, leash walking, and reinforcing basic commands • Senior dogs, with gentle handling, slower-paced walks, and medication routines • Special needs pets, providing calm, detail-oriented care • Administering medications (oral, topical, and injectable) • Multi-pet households, managing dynamics so everyone gets love and attention I always prioritize communication I’ll send regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own, creating a calm and loving environment while you’re away.

Fantastic sitter! Our cat took to Sandra immediately, which says a lot. She handled a challenging assignment that included administering multiple medications twice a day with great care and confidence. Communication was excellent throughout, she was always reliable and on time, and she has a genuinely wonderful personality. We would happily book Sandra again and highly recommend her!
