Highlights
Pet care experience
Every fur baby deserves loving care
I’m a lifelong animal lover with 9 years of experience as a dog mom, plus 2 years of experience as a foster caregiver. While I recently became a cat mom, I still deeply miss and love spending time with dogs! I’m an avid hiker (I even completed the Camino de Santiago - Portuguese route in 2024!). If you don't have the time for long walks but have a dog who loves to explore, I’d be a great fit. For safety reasons, I only take dogs on hikes if they are under 30 lbs and have good on-leash manners :) Thanks to my fostering background, I understand how crucial patience and love are when pets are adjusting to new environments and new people.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Sandra was great with Jarvis! She followed all my instructions and kept me updated the whole time. When he had some tummy issues, she let me know right away and followed the updated feeding plan without any issues. I really appreciated the frequent updates and photos (including his poop 😂), which helped me coordinate his care. She even noticed little things like Jarvis liking to look at himself in the mirror — something I didn’t know before! She also kept me informed about his naps and bedtime. Would definitely book with Sandra again.

Schedule
I work from home Friday through Monday, so I’ll be with your fur baby the entire time they’re staying with me! Please share their usual daily routine with me—I’ll do my best to keep everything as close to their normal schedule as possible.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Throughout their stay/visit, I’ll keep you updated on how they’re doing—including their eating and drinking, energy levels, and potty habits! Note for boarding: Since I have a resident cat, Mio, I can only host dogs or cats that are calm and relaxed around other pets.
Pets
A typical day
For dogs, I provide at least two walks a day—whether that’s a relaxed sniff walk, a regular walk, or a light jog—tailored to your preference and your dog’s leash habits. For cats, I adapt to their unique personality! I can keep them entertained with interactive play or simply give them space and hang out in the same room. Since my own cat, Mio, loves to play, I have plenty of experience keeping feline friends active and happy!
