Pet care experience

Sandy Beach Pet Care Provider

Hi, my name is Sandy and I provide pet care to families in and around the Mundelein, Libertyville and Vernon Hills area. I mainly visit pets at their home to take them out for walks, give them their meals and or medication when their parents are away for long periods of time. I offer basic training for dogs that need a little extra playtime and manners. However, if your pet is well mannered they can stay overnight at our house if they get along with our two dogs and cat. I'm also available for basic horse care (cleaning out the stable, feeding, grooming, turnout) at the horses home or stable. I've even taken care of goats, chickens, and bearded dragons. I've been around dogs and cats my entire life and I enjoy working with all kinds of animals.

Safety, trust & environment

Our yard is fenced in. Dogs enjoy meals separated in their own rooms so they can eat at their own pace with out worry of another dog trying to take their food. Entrance to the backyard has a double door to reduce the chance of sneaking out.

Not my first time leaving my dog with Sandra and definitely not my last. Sandra is an amazing dogsitter, and I cannot recommend her enough.

Sandra was great taking care of our cat while we were away and very helpful when our flight was cancelled resulting in late return.

I am a stay at home dog (and cat) mom. I walk a few dogs during the day. Sometimes I have guests dogs at our house for sleepovers. Guest dogs enjoy playing in our big fenced in yard, relaxing in our cozy home, playing with toys and enjoying treats.

It's good to know where dogs like to sleep. Some bring their own beds, some don't mind sleeping in a crate, while others would rather sleep on the sofa or in your bed.
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.
