Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet's favorite Aunt! <3
If you've seen me walking around town, you've probably already seen me squealing silently about your cute dog! :) When I spend time with animals of all types, I'm calm and low-key. I believe that they frequently pick up on the vibe of the people around them and do best with humans who are warm, patient, soothing, and predictable. I give them space to get to know me and feel comfortable. As a former educational aide in high school libraries, I spent nearly 20 years caring for (human) children from all walks of life, under constantly changing circumstances. I've had animals all my life (even ducklings!) and I've been pet-sitting professionally via Rover since the spring of 2021. Now, it's time for me to bring my patience and experience to your furbaby! I'm available every day from 8am until sunset. I have a very flexible schedule and am open to experimenting to see which times and days work best for me and my clients. I provide walks and home check-ins with your pet. I am also available for extended overnight stays (and I always bring my husband to stay with me) while you're on vacation. We're very tidy people and strive to leave everything just as you left it.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I like to make sure that pets feel like their space is still their space when I'm in your home. I respect their boundaries and take my time to get to know their personality. Also, when I stay with your pet overnight I always bring my husband, Josh, with me! He's also a former teacher who adores animals, so your fuzzy baby will get all the safety and benefits of two loving caregivers at once!
Ratings and reviews
Amazing stay with Lily! So attentive and plenty of photos. Would highly recommend, Sandy!
Sandy was phenomenal! She was attentive to my two cats who each needed something different. For my older cat, she administered medication each day and provided helpful updates on her health. My younger cat is very shy but he even felt comfortable coming out of his hiding spot for Sandy!
Sandy did a great job watching my cat Larry and navigating some annoying/unexpected building issues 10/10 would hire again!
Sandy house and dog sat for us while we were out of town and she was an absolute godsend. She is professional and communicative, we got tons of seeet updates on our puppy. She provided absolute peace of mind that our dog was in good hands so we could relax and enjoy our trip. I highly recommend booking Sandy for any pet needs and house sitting. She will be my go to whenever we leave town.
Repeat clients and Sandy did an excellent job, as usual!
Having Sandy housesit and care for our senior dog was wonderful. She is great at communication and frequent check-ins with sweet photos of our pup! We were able to vacation with peace of mind and trust that all was well in our home while we were gone. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend Sandy to other pet owners!

Schedule
I am an artist, so I work from home and am usually available anytime. Ideally, I would love to set up a long-term situation where I tend to your pet on a regular basis, but I'm flexible!
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsSandy can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
- Please let me know if your dog has any tendencies toward leash aggression, if they're okay with other animals and people, any medical needs they have, which vet they see, and if I can/should expect them to poo while we're out. Also, please let me know if your cat is an escape artist who is bound to make a break for it when I open the door. Also, please be aware that I live car-free in the NW neighborhood, so my availability is limited geographically. (Though I have made exceptions for overnights with established clients who have moved to different areas of town.)
- These prices are for 1 dog.
