Pet care experience

Work from home w Flexible schedule

I love animals and have even taken my own dogs with me on vacations because I worry about them if I’m gone. My giant and mini schnauzers are my family. My Trixie needs insulin shots for diabetes so I understand about proper diet and exercise for pets too. I’ve taken care of friends dogs in the past so this is a natural for me to serve you and your dogs ? I work from home and able to change my schedule to help you care for your dogs when you are away. Love to walk and having a four legged companion for company near your home is even better. Dogs need attention during the day to alleviate stress while you’re away from home. If you need special attention for your dogs I am the one to give it. ***Now offering one time poop pick up separate visits for cleaning only this spring and summer. This extra fee is $17 for cleaning your whole yard so it’s ready to enjoy in the sunny season. I will collect as much poop as I find in 30min and dispose in your trash barrel or as per your instructions.

Sandy is awesome. She knows how to handle my sweet but reactive pup. I highly recommend her for your pet care needs.

Drop-In Visits • Aug 06, 2026

We were able to book Sandy on short notice, to check in our cat while we were gone for three days. We told her not to be alarmed, if she did not see him, because he disappears when there are strangers in the house. Because there was no cat to be seen, Sandy sent us pictures of his empty food dishes. :-) When we arrived home our cat greeted us. Having Sandy was a good experience. We would not hesitate to use her services again. Thank You Sandy...

Dog Walking • Jul 13, 2026

Sandy has been helping us with watching & walking our crazy 10 yo yellow lab Lady for nearly five years, and we couldn't recommend her more. She's reliable, trustworthy, and has been there for us on short notice more than once and really saved our family in a few stressful situations. We're relocating down South for work, and we hope we're lucky enough to find someone as great as Sandy. Lady will definitely miss her!

Sandy was great with Emma. She sent me photos and kept me current with how things were going. She is professional, caring and very likable. I highly recommend her.

Schedule

I work in my home office usually at night making jewelry, it’s when I most get inspired. I found my favorite job though is taking care of your animals when you’re away. I realize I’m meant to be in service to others. Knowing I’m helping you by caring for your pet is very fulfilling to me. I’m also an astrologer so I know this is my darma to juggle both careers . I usually am out each weekday once in the morning for walks and sometimes at lunch for check ins. I offer Doggy Daycare on occasion in my home too. Your pup will get at least 1 walk and also two times out in my back yard to play in fresh air at daycare. About every other weekend I’m home to help you with your needs like dog sitting in your home or mine overnights.

Safety, trust & environment

I have two floors in my home, a main floor and a finished basement level that I work out of. I have crates available for dogs that need them when I step out to do check appts. Your dog will be well loved and exercised. I love walking the neighborhood so daily walks and playtime. I enjoy cooking breakfast/ brunch “eggs” for a natural treat for your dog. Cuddle time after lunch and possibly another walk in the afternoon or play in the backyard. digs are on a leash always outside.

A typical day

I have dog toys here! Bouncing balls and squeaky toys to play fetch with if your dog or cat loves to play I’ll be doing it! Well it is my job after all someone has to do it. Lol
