Sandy Paws at your service!

Pet care experience

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!

Sandy was amazing with our dog! We were vacationing in Emerald Isle. We had rented an air b&b and had some crazy storms come in which made our dog so nervous. We chose Sandy to stay with our girl so we could meet some friends for dinner. Sandy walked her and snuggled with her and went above and beyond to make her feel safe. Look no further than Sandy!!!

I cannot recommend Sandy enough! She took such great care of our pet and our house while we were gone. She sent daily pictures and updates on how our dog was doing, which we loved! We will 100% be using her as our permanent pet sitter!

Sandy cares about the well-being of your pet. I felt comfortable leaving my cat in her caring hands. She shared photographs and updates while I was away which were very much appreciated. I would definitely choose Sandy again to care for my cat.

Sandy and her husband were terrific. She took care off my large Alaskan Malamute like it was her own. Highly recommend!

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.

Information Sandy B. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I live on the island and I love all the walking spots that are so convenient to my location. Beach walks if you allow as well as the local pet trails and parks. I have always been an avid walker with and without my dogs and I am missing out on dog walks as my two schnauzers are aging and I have to limit their walks due to the usual old age type of symptoms relating to joints and hips.
