Safety, trust & environment

I will follow your routine-I do not try to do anything that will add stress to your pet. I will advise you when I am arriving, I will update you with photos and am open to video calls if you would like to see how your pet is doing. I love to update clients so they can see how well their pet is adapting and is being loved.

Information Sandra S. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preferences. Our first step is to see how your dog interacts with me and how everyone feels. I will review allergies/health issues your pet might have. I can administer medicine if needed.

A typical day

My plan is to follow their normal routine-We will review their daily routine and I will adhere to all instructions. If you are open to allowing me to do some basic training with your dog (if they haven't been trained) I would love an opportunity to teach them basic commands.

Pet care experience

My love for dogs started at an early age. I began working with dogs as a vet assistant in high school. I have worked with or around animals most of my adult life. I never use any force on any dog. I believe in positive reinforcement when training any dog as I have trained all of my personal dogs this way. At my house our dogs days are filled with love, compassion, lots of positive rewards and mental and physical exercise. One of my dogs-Luna-is a certified therapy dog. Her love for people comes through with each interaction. It took a lot of time, training, patience to get her to this level. They say you should do what you love and it will never feel like work. I adore dogs and feel at ease when surrounded with them so it makes perfect sense to incorporate dogs into my everyday life. I know how stressful it is to leave your beloved dog with a stranger. I know I would be very apprehensive but once you see how I interact with your pup, you will know I am sincere and I hope you will see my passion for dogs. Please feel free to reach out with any questions/concerns.

Sandra is one of the biggest dog lovers that I have ever known. It is easy to tell by the way all dogs respond to her loving affection for them. She has always adopted dogs from shelters, long before it became popular. Sandra has worked in Veterinarian Clinics several times in her life and has a solid understanding of basic first aid for dogs. Sandra is kind, understanding and patient with all pets. She is absolutely the perfect person to watch your pet.

Sandra has an incredible passion & understanding for dogs. I call her the "Dog Whisper". She is reliable when needed. There is no one else I would use to help care for my 4 legged children.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
