Safety, trust & environment

When you contract with me to stay in your home, I’ll follow your routine as instructed. Whether your pets are shy or goofy, I’ll take the time to interact with them in an enriching way and make sure they are always safe and well cared for. For boarding in my home, I host cats in their own guest suite. I can host more than one cat from the same family, but only one family at a time.

Information Sandra Rae S. would like to know about your pet

I like to know a dog’s temperament and general personality and if they have any training that an owner wants reinforced or adhered to. It's also helpful to know if they have any triggers for aggressive or resource guarding behavior.

A typical day

Playing a good game of fetch is always a joy. I also like to give pet massages and brushing sessions, if the pet enjoys that type of interaction. Kitties get as much or as little interaction as they desire. Grooming, scritches, laser tag, are all available!

Pet care experience

Fun fact! I once saved a duck by doing mouth-to-beak resuscitation! I’m an avid and trusted animal lover, from the smallest to the biggest varieties. Whether hairy, scaly, slimy, feathered or furry, I love them all. I have experience rehabbing pigeons, chickens and squirrels, working in an emergency vet clinic and hand rearing exotic birds. I’m patient and kind with all animals, and their humans. I’m relocating from WA to PA at the end of March 2026 and look forward to meeting new furry friends and their adoring humans!

Sandra connected with our elderly cat right away and sent us pictures which brightened our day. We especially appreciated her willingness to deal with the medications that had to be applied in the ears. We definitely recommend her.

Sandra was wonderful!! I’m so glad she was able to care for my three cats while I was away. She was very attentive, sent me pictures and kept me updated on how the cats were doing, and was able to help administer medicine to my senior cat who was stressed with me being gone. She also left my home clean and tidy. I would definitely book Sandra to take care of my babies again. Thank you!!

Sandra was absolutely amazing! At the meet and greet, she took detailed notes and made sure she understood each of my three dogs' routines and personalities. While we were away, she sent lots of updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. The dogs absolutely loved her, and it was obvious she genuinely cared for them. I came home to three happy, well cared for pups, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I'll definitely be using her again—and honestly, she's my go to sitter from now on! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable.

Excellent, reliable care! Sandra is very responsible and I feel confident that our fur family is well taken care of while we are away
