Worry-Free Pet Sitting!

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!

Doggy Day Care • Sep 01, 2026

We were able to spend a carefree day at the fair knowing our dog was well cared for. Sandy invited us for a meet and greet beforehand so she could get to know Shelby. Her place was immaculate. We would definitely use her again.

Sandy was awesome. Kind and professional. This was the first time ever using Rover - and she definitely made my dog feel at home. I would highly recommend Sandy to anyone in the Twin Cities area.

Boarding • Jul 29, 2026

We are not from the area and needed some boarding and daycare help while we were in town. We spend a LOT of time with our dog so it's always a bit nerve-wracking to leave him with someone we don't know. As I was dropping Indy off, another client was picking up, and she told me how much she loves Sandy - her dog can only be boarded with Sandy becuase she's so good. That put my mind at ease!! Drop-off and pick-up was easy. I got a text update letting me know how the day went. The neighborhood and yard seem really nice too. Even with multiple dogs, Sandy seems to keep things calm and very well managed. Indy was relaxed when I picked him up. We would recommend Sandy!

Sandy watched our dog for two weeks and was wonderful. She was easy to communicate with, responsive, and sent lots of photos and videos of our dog while we were away. We could tell our dog was well loved while with Sandy!

Pets

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)
