Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Sandra and I live with my partner of 10 years and fellow dog lover, Eric. I've grown up my entire life around dogs -- Chihuahuas, Labradors, German Shepherds, Poodles, Shelties, etc. I always take great care to provide pets I look after a comfortable and inviting environment. I'm working from home so there is ample opportunity for walks and attention during the day. I live in an apartment but we do have a nice lawn to utilize when your dog needs a quick break. When your dog stays with me we can go on walks -- we generally try to go for two big walks a day, morning and evening (in the summer it is simply too hot to safely walk a dog during the day) for a total of around 5 miles. We can also go to the dog park -- Gabriel Dog Park is a short drive away from my place. Please bring your doggie brush/ comb if you want me to brush him or her out. I also love taking photos of dogs and I can take some professional style portraits (2-3 photos) of your dog -- just make sure to ask me! Please see my gallery for some examples. I'm hoping it will be clear which ones I've taken with my phone and which ones were taken with my professional camera. The photos are included in an overnight stay but please let me know you want them when you book. :) I’ll always send some cell phone snaps no matter what. If you want a photoshoot *with* you and your doggies, let know! We can work something out. It's always helpful when your doggie knows the photographer. ☺️ Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. Sandra
Reviews
Thank you Sandra for being so wonderfully caring for my crazy boy Bodie! Sandra went the extra mile walking him several miles a day and sending me very cute photos regularly. I really appreciate you taking care of him so well, it has been a long time since Ive been away from him and not worried!
Very friendly and kind! Outstanding care for our dog!
Sandra was wonderful with my pup! He's part Border Collie, so it takes a lot to tire him most of the time. I got gime back and he was ready to just relax! Thank you so much for taking great care of my boy and getting him ample play time. I will highly recommend as well as use her services in the future. I got some awesome puppy pics from her as well, which always make my heart melt.
Sandra is AMAZING! My pup is a nervous one but Sandra and her partner did everything to make her as comfortable as possible. They went on lots of walks and played lots of ball! We will definitely be using her again in the future. Sandra truly cares about the doggies she cares for and I am so thankful to have found her. Not to mention she takes incredible pictures!! Such a wonderful person! 100% recommend!

Information Sandra S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special requirements. I'll want to know about your dog's schedule, their general behavior and what they prefer to do for fun. I have experience administering pills, working with senior dogs and training dogs with positive reinforcement. If your dog is still in potty training mode, please let me know so I can take extra care to make sure your pet keeps us his or her potty-going routine. Also, please let me know if you'd like some professional style pictures! If not, I'll be sure to send some cell phone photos!
A typical day
We can take long or short walks depending on your dog's needs. There's a park within walking distance of my apartment that we can go to for walks or we can walk around my neighborhood.
