Highlights
Pet care experience
Care for K9 and Feline Kids
I was raised with German Shepherds who were obedience trained. For the past 32 years I raised 6 Boxers, 5 obedience trained and 1 a show dog. It is my belief adopting a pet is a commitment for life and they are to be treated as a family member. I have also owned cats and raised exotic birds, hand feeding many baby birds. I am a licensed healthcare provider able to administer medication, injections, CPR and perform wound care. CPR on an animal is not always effective.

Ratings and reviews
Sandy is totally awesome with our Cody. He loves every time we drop him off.
My first time using Rover and WAS LUCKY to have found and chosen Sandy! She is over the top amazing. She watched my dog during the holidays and last minute at that! I will not settle for any less than Sandy from now on. She is my sitter! Love love love!!!!!!
Sandy is great with Cody and Cody loves going over for playdates. Whenever I leave Cody with Sandy I feel so comfortable knowing he’s with her.
Sandy was SUPERB with my Cody! She’s so in touch with the dogs and truly cares/loves them. I was so happy with her care of Cody and would recommend her for your pets care.
Sandy was amazing with my 3 cats! She checked in with them twice a day while we were gone over the weekend and made sure they ate and kept them company! I highly recommend her for her sweetness and attention she gives to my little beasties. We will be using her services for future trips!
I have known Sandy for over 50 years. Throughout her life, Sandy has shown a deep appreciation and love for animals. She has raised five of the best-behaved, best-personality dogs that I've ever seen. She has also raised birds and cats. Recently, she has had the opportunity to spend time interacting, caring for and riding horses. She has invested a great amount of time researching animals' behavior. This not only helps her to approach any animal with an appreciation and understanding for what is likely going through that animal's mind, but it also helps put that animal at ease. Most importantly, it establishes a respect FROM these animals towards her that is quickly seen in their interactions. Her ability to understand the mindset/behavior of an animal, show a sincere appreciation and love for the animal and quickly establish a mutually-respectful relationship with it makes her an invaluable resource when looking for someone who will truly UNDERSTAND & CARE for your animal. I do not know a better person than Sandy to trust in caring for your animal.

Schedule
I am semi-retired, presently not working. My schedule is flexible, seven days a week. I would like to provide pet care as a part time job, maintaining a flexible schedule and availability to pets. I am available to do drop in visits 24/7 or as late in the evening and as early in the morning as requested. If requested, I’m happy to send text messages, photos, even recordings ( when possible ) as an update for each service.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My service is safety first with the pet in the client’s home or mine. I have large crates, 4’ L x 3’ H x 2 1/2’ W and a large wire play pen that will configure to any shape and covers up to 32 ft.². Your pet would spend time rotating between crate, playpen, and outside play for 30 minutes three times per day, as well as toileting every two hours. This would need to be agreeable with pet owner. I have two medium size dogs. I’m experienced with introducing dogs safely and I am particular about this.
