Pet care experience

Sandy Paws at your service!

I love animals, especially dogs, more than words can express! We have always had small dogs in our family since I was born. I could never imagine living without a dog in my household. In fact I have always had my miniature schnauzers as my fur babies since my early 20’s. I also use my endless dog walks as another form of exercise especially with the awesome beach roads all over the island that we are fortunate to enjoy living on the island. Since I never had children I have extremely spoiled animals. Me and my husband are retired and I work a very part time job so have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. My husband may also like to join in with my walks as well to help keep your pooch entertained and continue with our daily exercise regimen. If your pet does not do well on long walks please mention that so we don’t wear them out too much! I would like to walk your dog on the beach or beach access if allowed. If you would rather we stay on the neighborhood streets that’s fine too! My house/pet sitting service will include feeding, playing, walking, cleaning up pet waste in yard or litter box and light housekeeping such as vacuuming up pet fur if applicable.

Safety, trust & environment

I am an extremely anal retentive pet owner and home owner. I probably take better care of my pets than my own self! We do not miss any yearly vet appointments and are very attentive to any ailments that may come along. I always say the worst part of being a pet owner is when they have to cross the rainbow bridge.

Sandy took excellent care of our 3 kitties - from feeding them to cleaning the litter boxes ( & any messes they made) and spending time with them. She kept us informed and was very responsive and detailed. We highly, highly recommend her services. She truly loves animals and was a professional through and through. Thank you again, Sandy!

It's obvious that Sandy loves what she does. Piper is well cared for and loved by Sandy.

Murphy was very happy when we came home! Sandy was very easy to work with and a great communicator. We will definitely use her again.

Awesome as usual. Sandy made my new puppy feel comfortable and secure while I was away. Piper was tuckered out from the play time and walks when I arrived home.

Sandy was great with our dogs!! We were here on vacation and she took them for fantastic walks on the beach. My dogs were so happy! I felt comfortable leaving them in her care. Will definitely hire her again next time we are here..

I prefer smaller type animals to medium sized but can definitely bond with large dogs if they are well behaved and not aggressive on leash. I would like to know ahead of time if your dog does not do so well with passerby pets and people while walking the neighborhood streets.
