I left over 25 years in Corporate America as a Store Manager, and am now a small business owner who loves to do pet sitting on the side. I will spend time playing and spoiling your furbaby if they'll let me, as well as emptying the litter, bringing in the mail, feeding the fish, etc. I work well independently, pay attention to detail and don't need to be micromanaged. If you book me - you are booking a professional, who is dependable, and will love your furbaby as if they were my own! I am also a Reiki Master and am very sensitive to all energy and tend to have a calming effect on most furbabies.

Cat Lady who Loves Dogs too

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Sandy and I have had as many as 5 rescue cats at once, including a diabetic senior who required insulin twice a day. These furbabies are our family! I have also been a dog walker with Hounds on the Hudson in Albany. I connect with animals with little effort and love spending my time giving snuggles and helping to care for them. Due to my full time, fluctuating client schedule- I require flexibility in drop in times (up to an hour in either direction). I do not pet sit overnight in anyone else's home. Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs!!

Sandy handled my cat who randomly started showing aggressive behavior extremely well. She was able to make sure she was taken care of while I was gone while keeping me updated and keeping herself and Cider safe.

Sandy was wonderful! She was very communicative and easy to work with. She took great care of our cat while we were away and always provided updates and photos. My cat Uno really got very comfortable with her. I knew he was in good hands :)

Sandy is so great, even with temperamental and high maintenance cats! She's was she to get my boys to warm up to her and she's respected their boundaries.
