Pet care experience

Reliable, fun, friendly pet sitter

Hello- Thanks for viewing my profile and giving me a chance to tell you a bit about myself and why I would like to meet and take care of your dogs and cats. I love animals and grew up surrounded by many different types of animals. As far as dogs go, we had the whole gamut of breeds-from Great Danes and Malamutes, to Pomeranians, as well as many mixed-breeds. I was taught to treat them with kindness, respect and dignity and have passed that principle on to my children as well. Cats came into my life a bit later, but have a special place in my heart with their quirky personalities and antics. I adopted my first cat in college and am a fan ever since! Along with my childhood experiences, I was a pet sitter during my college years so have a great deal of experience taking care of other peoples pets, as well as the experience of having my own pets. I am responsible and reliable, and am able to make myself available on a somewhat flexible schedule. I am able to provide you with references and reviews. I am always looking forward to meeting and taking care of new animal friends, and will make sure they receive the attention and love they deserve. I hope to have the opportunity to meet you and your special family, and to take care of them when you are not able to be there. With best wishes- Sandra

Sandra's attention to detail and nightly updates made for a worry free vacation. The only suggestion I might have for next time is it might be better to pick up excited babies, after greeting them in the backyard first, might help make for a smoother pickup. Thank you!

Sandra was wonderful. First time leaving our furbaby and had a better time knowing she was in such good hands. She kept in touch after every visit and sent pictures daily. We will definitely be using her again!

Always completely reliable. The only person I would trust with my "baby" as she calls her!

It's always such a relief knowing that Sandra will be taking care of my cat. She sends daily updates and photos and lets me know if there are any issues - then works to solve them! So reliable, I can't imagine hiring anyone else.

I would like to know preferences, likes, dislikes, whether they get along with other animals, if they are afraid of anything so we can avoid that and/ or provide comfort (ex. thunderstorms, car rides, etc.).
