A typical day

I have a nice large fenced-in backyard. I also love taking dogs for walks! Pups will have free roam of my home, and can crate if that is your preference. I like to keep things consistent as much as possible for you! I will provide daily updates and pictures so you never have to worry! Feel free to bring any personal effects which may make your baby feel more at home. (T-shirt, blanket, bed, favorite toys)

Worry-Free Pet Sitting!

Pet care experience

I have a passion for animals! I've taken care of a variety of different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and special needs dogs. I am retired and home full-time so pups receive love all day long. Many people have relied on me to provide a loving home away from home for their fur babies!

Our little Cali was in good hands with Sandy! This was our first time with Sandy, She is calm, her home is welcoming and she is clearly skilled and has a heart for animals. The drop off was seamless and Cali was quickly comfortable moving around the space. Sandy provided updates and pictures while we were gone. When we picked up Cali after a week she was doing great! We hope Sandy will welcome Cali into her home in the future.

Sandy cared wonderfully for our Great Pyrenees dog! She allowed us to book last-minute after a change of plans and was so sweet and attentive to our dog’s needs. He can be a bit of a stubborn handful and she was so kind and thoughtful to him - we would definitely book again! Thank you Sandy!
