Peace of Mind Pet Sitting

I bring four decades of hands-on experience to every dog I train and pet I care for. Since 2015, I’ve successfully competed with my own dogs in a variety of canine sports, giving me a deep understanding of how to build skills, confidence, and a strong bond between pets and their people. Beyond formal training, I’ve volunteered at our local animal control, working with animals from all walks of life and temperaments. Over the years I’ve raised and cared for dogs, cats, multiple species of birds, and even a snake—broadening my expertise with different behaviors, needs, and personalities. This combination of professional experience, volunteer service, and lifelong animal care allows me to offer patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate training and pet sitting that owners can trust.

Sandy is the best person to leave your dogs with! I am always worried about leaving my two working line German shepherds with someone while traveling but Sandy was amazing with them. They couldn’t have been in better hands! Sandy updated us every day with photos and videos and we really appreciated that!! We are so grateful ❤️

Sandy took great care of my kittens while I was gone. She was on time everyday. The boys had a lot of fun playing with her during the visits. Sandy usually takes care of dogs, but I can also recommend her for cats.

My boys can be a bit much when first meeting new people and the two together can be a little overwhelming.. Sandra has really been so good with them and they respond very well with her! We are thankful for her patience and the work she does with them ! Such a blessing for us!

Please let me know if your pets have any special needs; for example, do they have any food restrictions? Allergies? Are they recovering from an injury? The more I know about your pets, the better I can care for them.
