Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and, being between jobs, I have plenty of free time to give dogs my full attention. I love taking long walks in nature with my own dog—it’s a therapeutic boost for both of us. Living in a peaceful neighborhood and tranquil home makes it easy to provide a calm, safe environment. I typically walk 2–3 times a day, so regular exercise and companionship are always part of my schedule.

Safety is a top priority in my home. I have a spacious, secure, closed balcony where dogs can enjoy fresh air safely, and my own friendly dog is happy to provide companionship for your pup.

Information Sandy C. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know if your dog has any special needs or unique behaviors. Information about their favorite toys and activities makes it easier for me to give them the care and attention they deserve.

A typical day

I love exploring nature, and living near the trails means I can offer your dog extra adventures—whether it’s a hike through nature or a calming walk by the water.

Pet care experience

I’ve been a dog person since diapers—started with my parents’ pup, then my own fur baby who lived to 18. Now I’m raising my 4‑year‑old sweetie. Dogs love my calm vibe (and maybe my treat). My friends joke I’m their “dog’s favorite human,” because I’m always the first call when they need a sitter.

Sandy helped us out again, super last minute and was able to walk Bella same day. Bella loves to hangout and go on mini adventures with Sandy’s dog, Bada.

I had to leave my dog, Phoebe, for a few days while I traveled for work, and was a bit nervous as I only recently adopted her and she was going through separation anxiety. Sandy was great with her, sending photos every day and taking Phoebe on long walks with her dog, Bada. Phoebe and Bada are friends now and I’ve definitely found Phoebe’s new pals and will leave Phoebe in good hands with Sandy whenever I travel!

Always a pleasure. I think my dog is starting to like Sandy more than me :)

Sandy has been absolutely amazing! My dog LOVES her and her adorable dog, they have become such good friends. She sends me lots of photos after every walk, and is very communicative and reliable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog walker! I truly couldn't ask for a better dog walker.
