Pet care experience
Growing up as an only child, Sandra’s pets became her pseudo-siblings. As such, she developed an innate ability to communicate and understand animals at a very young age. She expanded on this knowledge as an adult, volunteering at a non-profit therapeutic horseback riding ranch for over 7 years and becoming a full time dog walker in 2017. After completing over 1500 walks she made the leap to dog trainer, wanting to hone her experience in obedience education and behavior modification. Sandra has an A.S. in Business from Mesa College, is currently working towards a BS in Psychology from SDSU, and is a certified dog trainer (CPDT-KA). Sandra is currently taking new clients for obedience training, pack walks, and dog beach outings as well as sitting and boarding.
Reviews
Sandra did a fantastic job with our pup this weekend. I had to go out of town for the weekend, she was accommodating, professional, knowledgeable and patient. We’re thrilled regarding the care we received
As always, amazing and knowledgeable and takes such good care of my babies and home. Thank you!
Sandra has a great spirit, is professional and successfully got my shy and wary dog to warm up to her and enjoy their walks! Look forward to hiring her again.
As always, amazing! Thanks so much for all you do to keep my pups happy and healthy while I’m away.

Safety, trust & environment
I only offer boarding (no in- home sittings). There are some basic rules and boundaries in my home (ie: no eating/ begging for human food, couch when invited, sharing toys, etc) but, the better behaved the pup is, the more freedom they receive!

Information Sandra S. would like to know about your pet
Nellie is a beautiful mutt with s very sweet disposition. She is also my demo dog for training as well as my service dog. She's the better dog trainer. She has her CGC title as well as AKC Rally Novice title. Esme is a sweet but psycho border collie. She's full of love, speed, and drive to work. She loves to herd sheep and recently passed her intro herding trials.
A typical day
Long walks, trips to the dog park, sometimes trips to the beach! Regarding my walking services, I prefer 1 hour long walks or longer but there isn't a way currently to offer it directly in the app. However, I can make adjustments on the back end if you just let me know how long you would like. 60 min - $60 I really enjoy working with dogs who are being trained out of Behavioral issues. I studied psychology at SDSU and in very good at reinforcing wanted behaviors and following whatever training Protocols are currently in place. I have many clients who have seen lots of progress in their dog's Behavior after several weeks of consistent walks. It brings me lots of pride and joy to assist dedicated owners and their plight to a well behaved canine! Dog training : $70/hour Dog beach outing: $60 (1.5 hours plus pick up and drop off)

Availability
I am a full time dog trainer and pet care giver. Mornings are for pack outings, afternoons are for training and playing in my home. The dogs are rarely left alone but, when they are, I have security cameras on them at all times. My days "off" are Sunday and Monday and I only do outings for boarding dogs those days and offer more food enrichment than outside time so that we all have some down time and I have some time to clean and prep for the new week ahead!
