Safety, trust & environment

My condo has a small fenced yard and a comfortable home for your doggie’s vacation. I live on the mesa in the Highlands with lots of easy walking just outside the front door and in the Honda Preserve so your pet will have plenty of short walks. I have been a dog owner all my life but when my last dog Nates, the absolute best dog in the world my children and I rescued from the animal shelter, left the planet for dog heaven, I couldn’t bring myself to get another and my children were all grown so I very much enjoy taking care of other’s pets.

Animal Lover

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Sandy and I am looking forward to taking care of your furry friend. Like most other animal lovers, I’ve had dogs of all kinds and pets all my life. I have patience, problem solving skills and the ability to cope with challenges under pressure. Also a deep love and appreciation of mother nature and animals.

Sandy was great with Nala from our meet and greet to her stay! Sandy sent photos and updates during Nala’s visit. When I picked up Nala I received a full report on her stay, Sandy knew her habits extremely well. I can tell Nala was well cared for and loved when I had to be away. I would highly recommend Sandy to any pet owner!

Sandy and her husband were so sweet with our dog who had an injury right before our vacation. Sandy could tell we didn’t want to leave her, and provided lots of reassurance that our dog would be in good hands. Because of the injury she had a lot of extra meds, which Sandy administered easily! Thank you, Sandy and Tony for loving on Sadey! She even got a beach day!

I left my dog Charley with Sandra and her husband, and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the first meet & great, it was clear that they are true animal lovers and Charley felt right at home almost instantly. Sandra was incredibly communicative throughout my time away, sending daily updates along with photos and videos so I felt at ease knowing Charley was happy and well cared for. As a pet parent, that kind of reassurance is everything. They were understanding and compassionate with Charley’s sometimes moody behavior, knowing how to navigate it. I came back to a content pup, and that’s the best review anyone could ask for. Would absolutely consider booking with Sandra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pet like family!

I can't recommend Sandy enough. We were in a bind needing a last-minute sitter, and she was incredibly responsive and flexible. She made the logistics simple. My fiancé had no trouble at all coordinating drop-off and pick-up. While we were away, she sent photo updates that showed our dog relaxed and happy. When we picked him up, he was clearly well-cared for and in great spirits. Sandy truly saved the day. Thank you!
