I will treat your pets like family!

Pet care experience

Greetings, I'm Sandra! Animals have always held a special place in my heart, starting from my childhood Poodle to my cherished senior Chihuahuas who crossed the rainbow bridge a few years ago. Drawing upon over 20 years of experience in dog care, I provide personalized, in-home pet services. Beyond my own furry family members, I've extended my passion for animals to pet-sitting for friends and family. Additionally, I contribute my time and expertise as a volunteer in the CCU/Medical Wards at a local animal shelter, as well as fostering kittens in my home throughout the year. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine and comfort, especially in their familiar environment. That's why, with the exception of vacations, I am available seven days a week to cater to your pets' every whim. Specializing in delightful tummy rubs and creating fun-filled moments, I ensure your pets receive the love and attention they deserve. For added peace of mind, I prioritize communication, providing frequent updates so you can stay connected with your furry friends while you're away. Whether you're on vacation or at work, rest assured that I am dedicated to the well-being of your beloved pets. With me, you won't have to worry—your pets will be in capable and caring hands!

Sandra is THE best. She goes above and beyond to make sure Denali is cared for and loved. She makes going away so much easier. We don’t know what we would do without her!!!

Sandra is probably the most professional person I have found in the desert in the 2 years we’ve been here. Punctual, loving and caring to our pet, responsive to any questions we had in a more than timely manner, took care of our home with respect. Yes, we will have Sandra back again..thank you Sandra for a great job.
