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...

Sandy took excellent care of our king Charles. She had an earache and needed extra attention. Wonderful, kind Sitter. Will bring our dog to her again.

Sandy was so wonderful with our cat. She gave us updates everyday and pictures too! She's the only one I would ever trust to care for our diabetic cat!!!

Sandy is the most caring dog sitter. It is nice to be able to go on vacation and not worry about my dog. Also, Sandy’s dog Lacy is a great companion for my dog Nora. Nora is always so happy to see Sandy and Lacy. Sandy responds instantly to text, sends pictures, and treats Nora as her own. Her house is dog friendly and Nora is welcome on the couch to snuggle. I feel blessed to have found such a loving sitter. Respectfully, Jennifer Pena Proce

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.
