Pet care experience

Kind and reliable sitter

Hi there, Thank you for considering me to care for your lovely pet(s). I'm an easy going and respectful sitter who loves animals. I’m communicative and will send you updates along the way. My name is Sandy, I'm Italian/American living in California. I have been a pet sitter for friends and family members, and grew up with animals in our home. I am a sustainable fashion designer, and color-design for Nike. Nature, animals, and travel are my passions. I hope you'll consider me to watch your furry friends. If you'd like to get to know me more, I'm happy to schedule a video or phone call. Here’s a bit more about my experience: I have been a pet-sitter for over 10 years, and grew up with pets in the home. I have looked after dogs, cats, birds and turtles. I have also cared for an older dog with a leg wound, who needed to be bandaged and given medicine daily. For me this is a wonderful opportunity to spend time with sweet animals. I take this job seriously, taking extra care and give my full attention. Although there is work to be done, for me it's a pleasure and feels like fun! I have 5-star reviews on TrustedHousesitters and over a dozen 5-star reviews on Airbnb. Grazie Mille! Sandy

Moose had such a good time!! Sandra was very communicative and sent the cutest update pictures, in addition to giving Moose all of the exercise and snuggles he needed :)

Sandra did a great job caring for my dog in her home. I highly recommend her, and hope she's available the next time I'm out of town.

Sandra’s husband Alessandro watched over our puppy Lucy during our wedding. He was very flexible, competent, and communicated well. Definitely recommend!

It was our first time using Rover with our mini dachshund puppy and Sandy and her husband were the absolute best! Our little pup requires quite a bit of attention and it's on somewhat of a strict schedule since she's still so young, but they accommodated everything and made sure that she was comfortable. We appreciated the frequency of updates and photos. Would highly recommend!

I felt so safe leaving my Louis Vuitton, French Bulldog, with Sandra. The pictures I received every day showed how happy my little guy was and how he was well cared for. I recommend Sandra with the highest recommendation possible. She was so kind, loving, and attentive, giving my boy all the cuddles he needed.

I had the pleasure of having Sandra take care of my dog, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, Sandra’s communication was excellent — she kept me informed throughout the entire visit. She even sent regular photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. Sandra’s attention to detail is remarkable. She followed all instructions to the letter, making sure my dog was well cared for and comfortable. It’s clear that Sandra is a true dog lover, and her genuine affection for animals shines through in everything she does. I highly recommend Sandra to anyone looking for a dog sitter — she is trustworthy, caring, and reliable. 5 stars all the way! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Safety, trust & environment

I like open communication so I can look after your pets in the best way possible. I'm extremely attentive to ensure that your pets and home are well taken care of. I’m happy to update you with texts and photos if you’d like.

A typical day

I like to play tug of war, ball throwing, long walks (possibly in nature). By stimulating their attention with different smells, I usually try to take the dog to the park to play and get exercise. In the case of cats, lots of cuddles and a string or laser is always fun to let them play.

It's important to me to know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I need to take into consideration. If the pet takes medicines, or if it has disabilities, allergies, any information is important to know ahead of time
