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

Pet care experience

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 is sincere, honest and competent. We hired Sandy to take care of our two cats for a little over 2 weeks. When she came for her first visit, we realized that we had forgotten to put in our initial request that we also have two outdoor cats we care for & feed. We asked Sandy if she would be okay doing that while we were away and she graciously agreed. She spent enough time with us to make sure that she understood all our instructions. While we were away she came everyday at the same time for 30 minutes to be with our cats, freshened up their food & water bowls, cleaned their little box and left little treats for them so they got a little exercise. She sent us updates and pictures through the Rover App during every visit so we could see our fur-babies were happy and healthy. We had peace of mind while on vacation that she was caring for our cats. We will definitely hire her again to take care of our cats when we travel next.

Sandy is really great. This is our second dog that she has worked with, and both our dogs love her!

Sandy did a wonderful job with our 2 cats while we were away. Kept me up to date with how they were eating, and that everything was fine with the house. Will definitely use again!

Information Sandy K. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preference but any aggression issues are always helpful to know in advance to keep the visits pleasant and fun.

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.
