Pet care experience

Simply stated..... I Love Animals!!

I have been an experienced animal companion and care giver for the past 20 years. I am the founder of a not-for-profit for abandoned animals and I have also had my own dogs. I've spent those years, housebreaking, training, socializing, leash training, nursing sick and injured animals back to health, keeping up with medication schedules, physical therapy for dogs recovering from surgery, comforting older dogs and most of all enjoying the time I get to spend with these amazing animals. Animals have an innocence about them that is so refreshing to be a part of. They love everybody and just want to be happy. They brighten every day for me... Some of the games I play with them is fetch the ball, hide-n-seek and an all time favorite "bubble chasing". Dogs go nuts for bubbles! A nice walk is also an enjoyable way to spend our time together and get some exercise. I am an expert belly rubber, ear scratcher and biscuit giver :-) I would love to hear more about your precious fur babies and what their needs are. Rest assured that while your at work or away on vacation your dogs will be very well cared for and happy. I look forward to hearing from you...

Our trust in Sandy and her care for Brooklyn is superb. She has repeatedly shown her true commitment to professional care and stellar service with our dog. Her communication is excellent and she leaves us with a great sense of comfort knowing our dog is well cared for and safe. I highly recommend Sandy for all your dogs needs. We will continue to choose Sandy over and over again.

This was our first time leaving Finn with anyone outside of family or our usual sitter. Sandy was so responsive, provided a comfortable and safe environment for the dogs, and you could tell she really cares for the dogs! I would highly recommend her for anyone considering boarding with Rover.

Sandy is amazing!! Provided pictures and updates during our pups week long stay! Our basenji could definitely be a handful which made us weary to leave her with someone we did not know, but after dropping our pooch off and seeing how Sandy was with dogs all our worries went away!

Sandy was wonderful. This was my very first time using Rover and a sitter outside of my family or friends and couldn’t have gone better. Looking forward to using Sandy again! Thank you! :)

Pets

A typical day

We can walk wherever the owner feels most comfortable, whether that be around the block, a favorite hiking trail or a sandy beach. On sunny days a good game of fetch always does the trick but on rainy days a good game of hide and seek indoors is always a fun way to spend time.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Sandy can host up to 5 pets per night
I have no breed preference but any aggression issues are always helpful to know in advance to keep the visits pleasant and fun.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
