Dog Boarding & Drop-In Visits

Hi! I’m Sandy and I’d love to help you out with your cats or dogs when you have to be away from them. I have had both cats and dogs my entire life and more recently have fostered both dogs and puppies (7) and cats and kittens (64). I currently have 2 cats (foster fails) and 1 dog, Elvis, who is an energetic and dramatic 2 year old Husky. Any information you can give me that will make your pet feel happy and loved is welcome. I can accommodate any feeding requirements and administer supplements or medications as needed. I will follow any activity restrictions and reinforce any behavior that you request. I have significant experience caring for senior dogs and cats. BOARDING: I have a big fenced in backyard with plenty of room for running and playing. Elvis is very playful and loves having other dogs here. If there are items such as toys, beds or blankets that your dog loves, please bring them. DROP-IN VISITS: I can come to your house up to 3 times a day on a schedule of your choosing, to feed, play with, clean up after your pets. I will treat both your home and pet as if they were my own. I am reliable and easy to work with to make sure both you and your pet are happy. I’ve been doing this for years and have references available for you. Whether I visit your pet at your home or if your pet stays with me, my goal is to leave your pets feeling loved and cared for when you can’t be there to do it yourself.

I can't say enough good things about Sandy! She is our puggle's primary caretaker when we are out of town, and we have been using her services since our Bella was a puppy (she is almost 10 years old now!). We take several trips a year, and she makes sure to always make herself available to accommodate our needs. She treats Bella as one of her own and keeps us updated each day with a message and photo of how she is doing which is so comforting for me and my family. I am so thankful that we found her, and I highly recommend her to any other family needing a loving caretaker for their fur baby.

Sandy did great despite my cats never wanting to be seen. Communication wa amazing to ensure I wasn't a nervous wreck the whole time that I was gone.

Sandy is an excellent dog sitter. Our flight was delayed and couldn’t get home when expected but without any hesitation Sandy was able to help out.
