Availability

I have quite a flexible schedule and a lot of availability to care for your furry family members and promise to love them like my own. My husband, Francis, works from home, and I only work part time. That means your dog just about ALWAYS has someone around for company and playtime. It also means I can accommodate most needed drop-in visits as well for both dogs and cats.

I love bringing new toys with me to spark their curiosity and interest. If you need additional little jobs done like watering plants, getting mail, etc., please don't hesitate to ask.

Information Sandy M. would like to know about your pet

Meet and greets are a great way to introduce ourselves and our dogs to each other to make sure our home and lifestyle are compatible with your dog’s needs. I am happy to care for small to medium sized dogs, and really enjoy playful, snuggly, good-natured dogs. I’m afraid I cannot accept a dog with a known history of aggression or marking their territory indoors. If your dog has anxiety that manifests itself in the form of being unable to stay alone in a room without barking or whining, please share this information with me as well.

A typical day

Our dog, Emmy, loves to make new friends! We have a fenced in backyard that is perfect for running around and playing with a covered porch for shade and weather protection. Indoors, we have lots of cozy places for snuggling, MANY toys to play with and windows to look out of for bird and people watching.

Furry and Family Go Together

Pet care experience

I’ve been a cat owner my entire life, but then my husband finally convinced me to get a dog. That’s when Emmy entered my life. She is a Black Lab/Bernese Mountain dog. I don’t know how I ever lived without the love, playfulness and faithfulness of a dog. Becoming a pet sitter on Rover.com has been the most rewarding experience I could ever imagine. Emmy and I LOVE all our new friends, both canine and human alike! And we can’t wait to have you enter our circle of friends as well!

Sandy always takes great care of my cat, Henry, and of my home. I very much appreciate that she was able to accommodate a last minute booking. Thank you Sandy!

We have used Sandy many times and have always been very satisfied with her services. We recently moved and she was very accommodating and made an extra trip to our home to make sure everything would go smoothly while we were away. As for the care of our pets, well she treats them as if they were her own.

Sandy was amazing and my cat loves her. It was my first time taking a vacation since I adopted her but I felt so at ease knowing she was in good hands. Sandy was communicative right from the start. I would highly recommend her.
