Highlights
Pet care experience
VIP Home Dog Boarding 🐾
I’ve had dogs my entire life, and they’ve always been treated as true family members. Beyond caring for my own dog, Thor, I’ve also looked after pets for friends, relatives, and clients, always providing the same level of love, attention, and responsibility. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’m experienced with: - Puppies (routine, potty training support, and early socialization) - Senior dogs (patience, comfort, slower pace, and gentle care) - Dogs with anxiety or separation needs - Picky eaters or dogs with specific feeding routines - Dog socialization in a safe, controlled home environment - I carefully introduce dogs based on temperament, energy level, and comfort, creating positive and stress-free social experiences when appropriate. - I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to follow their habits closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home.

Ratings and reviews
Sandy is an EXCELLENT sitter. I will definitely use her again. Thank you Sandra for taking such great care of my baby girl.
Sandra was very communicative, very friendly & prompt in responding. I felt comfortable leaving my pup for the first time. She’s great.
Sandra is awesome! She is very caring, extremely patient and knowledgeable. Ethel-dog, a rescue, has fears of abandonment and I was concerned how she would act when left with Sandra for 3-days. We had an introductory get-together to give Ethel a chance to feel comfortable when she went to stay at Sandra's home. Everything went well - Ethel came home happy and alert. I highly recommend her for your small furry mate.
Brooksie LOVES Sandra! We left our sweet boy for the first time and while hard Sandra did an amazing job at communicating and keeping us updated. She eased a lot of our concerns and she also had a great deal of knowledge when it came to watching a puppy so that has made us feel so comfortable. Every parent is gonna be anxious but I assure you she will make that all go away! Will use Sandra again anytime we’re away!
Sandra was great! She sent photos to us often during our pets stay with her and he looked so happy and relaxed!
Sandra is the best!!!! This was our first time leaving Millie with anyone and she went above and beyond to ease our nerves. We never had to worry while we were on vacation if Millie was in good hands, and she sent so many pictures/updates. We will book Sandra every time going forward!

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I work from work with flexible hours. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
The idea for my service came from my own experience: I could never find a place where my Maltese, Thor, truly felt at home—always close to someone, sleeping in bed, and never feeling lonely or anxious. That’s why I created a VIP, home-style experience where your dog is treated just like mine—with love, freedom, and respect for their routine. 💕🐾 In my home: Dogs are treated like family They’re welcome on the couch and bed Their routines are followed closely They receive consistent companionship and attention Walks, playtime, and affection are part of the day I provide a calm, structured, and supervised environment and carefully manage each dog’s compatibility to ensure a safe and positive experience. There is absolutely no judgment here—whether your pup is spoiled, has unique habits, follows a very specific routine, or occasionally has indoor accidents (pee or poop). I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel comfortable and secure. You’ll receive daily updates with photos and videos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy, safe, and loved.

A typical day
A typical day is structured around your dog’s routine, comfort, and energy level. Mornings start around 6:30am with breakfast, fresh water, and a calm potty break. Throughout the day, I offer potty breaks approximately every 4 hours to keep your pup comfortable and on schedule. Daily activities include neighborhood walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of relaxation time. For dogs with higher energy levels, I provide longer walks on a nearby trail by the lake to help them exercise and stay mentally stimulated. Depending on your dog’s personality and your preferences, I may also include dog park visits, always ensuring it’s a safe and positive experience. The day is flexible and personalized—whether your pup prefers more activity or a calm, cozy environment, I adjust everything based on their needs and your instructions. Dinner is usually served around 5:00pm, followed by evening walks, potty breaks, and a relaxed wind-down with cuddles and your dog’s usual bedtime routine.
