Pet care experience

Animal lover, rescue friendly

I only host one guest at a time, unless multiple pets are from the same household. I’ve loved animals since a young age and have been very lucky to share my life with snails, budgies, dogs and cats… so far! I have gone through general and show training with my dog. I’ve had the pleasure of volunteering at a cat shelter and handling general care and socialisation there, and also at a farm where I helped with the care for donkeys, cows and horses.

Another great stay for Banjo! Sandra was flexible with flight delays, communicative and made us and Banjo feel well taken care of. Banjo came home tired and happy!

Banjo's long weekend with Sandra and her family was fantastic! Sandra was quick with communication, and sent regular updates and photos. We felt confident Banjo was in good hands and having fun with her and her kiddos.

Sandra truly loves dogs. She is a very capable dog sitter; administering meds to our senior dog and giving her lots of her time to feel comfortable and welcome. We received lots of great photos during our dogs 3 day stay and Sandra was very accommodating for the pickup and drop off times.

Schedule

I work from home and i’m a mum so i have to factor in school pickups but other than this my schedule is very flexible. I have access to a vehicle for transportation and love long walks in all sorts of weather.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a townhouse with a fenced in garden. The top floor of my house is my children’s space and not available for furry guests.

A typical day

I love the outdoors so lots of walking running and parks to be expected if my furry guests are up for that! If they prefer to laze about in the sun on my sofa that’s fine by me too :)

Cats

Takes only 1 client at a time
Sandra can host up to 2 pets per night
I do have children in the home so I can only help care for pets that are already socialised and don’t display aggression. Please let me know if your pet is more introverted and I can arrange for activities for my children to allow for our furry guest to have their peace and quiet!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
