Pet care experience

Experienced, Friendly & Responsible

Hello, everyone! I'm Sandy. I love spending time with animals and being outdoors. I've had dogs growing up, so I know what it takes to keep pets healthy, happy, and safe! I spent over 5 years pet sitting while in college with DogVacay and with Rover and I have cared for tons of pets throughout Los Angeles and Orange county part-time. I have years of experience in caring for multiple breeds, ages, needs, and behavior. Please send me a message if you have any further questions for me. Pro Experience: I spent an additional 2.5 years of volunteering at Seaaca Animal Shelter in Downey, California where I was able to walk dogs, provide kennel care (replace blankets / towels, provide food and clean water, clean the kennels, replace any other items), and support veterinary staff and animal shelters staff with other logistical support. I've also cared for a lot of pets growing up so, your pet will be in great hands if you choose me! Services: I offer checkups, walking, and extended sitting, as I am no longer able to host dogs at my house. During the booking, you will get updates via text, call, and even video call (or whichever you prefer) - contact me for more info! I serve within a 10-mile radius of 90015, although I occasionally accept surroundings cities if it works out with my schedule. Message me if you have any questions. Thanks again for stopping by. Feel free to message for a quick response.

Sandy was AMAZING! She kept us up to date on Charlie with tons of videos and pictures. She played a ton with him and Charlie had a blast. I would highly recommend her.

Sandy does an excellent job. She is very attentive to the dogs and their needs. She communicates very well and keeps me up to date. This is the second time she stayed with my dogs and there were no issues. I would recommend Sandy and use her again.

Sandy was amazing! We booked Sandy for house sitting. She made sure our dog and home were well taken care of and followed all the instructions for our dog's care. Sandy is very communicative and sent regular updates, photos and videos while we were away. We will definitely book her again.

Sandy was amazing. She took really good care of our Boba when we were out on a cruise. He enjoyed playing with her and we came back home to a happy puppy. We would definitely use her service again.

Sandy was great with my dog! She dogsat at my house for a few days and kept me updated with daily texts / was easy to stay in contact with. My dog is a senior with some special needs (blind, takes medication, etc.) and Sandy took great care of him and paid special attention to him as needed. Sandy also left my space in order. Would recommend!

Sandy was an excellent dog/house sitter! Phoebe was phenomenally happy with her new friend's visit. We were very happy with the way the house was left as well. Sandy was very communicative and sent updates throughout the week.

Safety, trust & environment

When I visit your home and take care of your pups and or cats, I make sure I keep your home safe, clean, and I respect your furniture. I’m super careful with things and I make sure to follow any instructions and preferences from the owners.

A typical day

I am aware that every dog is different and parents, too. I respect the routines set in place by pet owners and I also go by what the dogs needs are. I typically like to spend time in the back yard playing fetch, hiding treats, petting, running with them, squeaking fun toys, etc when they need to burn off energy and exercise. Also, I enjoy spending calm time with them, watching a movie with them, making sure they are fed, have snacks if allowed, and practice any commands. I am happy to provide them with whatever the needs are for the pups and the parents.

Sandy can host up to 1 pet per night
I mostly want to know if your dog is friendly, playful, shy, how they get along with other pets on walks and if he or she takes any medications or has any special needs.
