I really appreciated her consistent updates and the genuine care she showed. Luke came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. I highly recommend Sandy. I will definitely book with her again!

Sandy took care of my two fur babies Nitro and Diesel while I was on a cruise. She was absolutely the best! I was very comfortable with having her in my home. She took care of my babies like they were her own. One of my dogs are really afraid of strangers. Sandy was great at connecting with her and won her over. I will use her again when needed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Safety, trust & environment

Whether in my home or a client’s home, I create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets. I stick to their regular routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. In my home, I offer a pet-friendly space with plenty of attention and supervision. In a client’s home, I ensure cleanliness, security, and familiarity to help pets feel relaxed and at ease. My focus is always on providing personalized care, comfort, and lots of love!

Pets

A typical day

One of my favorite fun activities with dogs is engaging them in interactive play, like a game of fetch or tug-of-war, to keep them active and stimulated. I also love going on nature walks or exploring dog-friendly trails, allowing them to enjoy fresh air and new scents while getting great exercise. Tailoring activities to match each dog’s personality and energy level makes every moment enjoyable!

Before caring for a pet, it’s important to know key details such as their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medical conditions or medications. Understanding their temperament, triggers, and social preferences with other animals or people helps ensure a safe, positive experience. I also ask about favorite toys, treats, and comfort items to make them feel at home and well-loved!
