Pet care experience
Our household consists of my husband and myself. We are very animal-loving and I can look back on over 30 years experience in dealing with animals. First rule, animals come first, then us. Doggy daycare is available between 8am-6pm as well. At present, we enjoy the company of a lovely female dog who already accompanied our family for over 12 years. She loves company and she is used to have dogs around her. Since I'm working at home I have plenty of time to take care of her. We have a large house with an fenced backyard and the possibility to accommodate other dogs. If you ask me, you don't need a pro dog trainer for hosting. I'll take care of your sweetheart's needs with all my love and passion to animals. Don't worry I am not only caring and devoting but also consistently. Every dog owner has a special relationship to his animal and there are also very special rules and food habits included. I would like to know all the details to keep it equivalent for your pet. I think the distance from the owner alone is painful enough, and therefore I'll try to make the new environment as pleasant as possible so I attach great importance to boisterous and balanced entertainment. Fun and games are on first place. Your dog will love it. Why I love dog sitting? Since more than 30 years, I have experience in dealing with animals. It started in my childhood with my great love for cats, dogs, fish and birds that has made for the fact that I have surprised my parents often with the adoption of homeless pets. That's what I continued as a student when I had my own place. Birds, fish and cats have less problems of being alone for several hours while I was working, so I had to refrain of having dogs. When we decided to move to Florida 13 years ago, we finally got a dog ( purebred mongrel :-) ) as our new family member, a dog lady who we adore. About my yard Our backyard is fenced all around and high enough that it prevents any dog of skipping over. It offers enough space to romp and race. We also do have a sand place to dig and a dog friendly pool waiting to cool off after playing. My experience administering medication Even though I'm not a vet or an animal nurse and I have never given my animals any vaccinations or injections, I am quite experienced in the procurement of medicine. Because our genius animals are so smart sometimes it is necessary to be a little tricky and the better you will inform me about your methods the better it will work for us.
Reviews
Sanja was really good with sending pics and videos for Harley’s first visit. Harley is a nervous dog, but seemed at ease while staying with Sanja. I was happy to see when I picked her up that she wasn’t stressed out and was her normal self. I would definitely recommend using Sanja as she doesn’t crate your animal and leave them, she’s very inter-active with them and spends a lot of time outside with them.
Sanja provides an excellent environment for my Prince.
Enzo had a good time with Sanja I got pictures and could tell he was very comfortable there for the day Thank you for taking such good care of him and giving him all the attention he loves 💕🐾😁
Prince had a great day of play at Sanja’s house! He really enjoyed hanging out with her husband, Tom.

Dogs spend the whole day with playing, romping and resting. They are always around me, whether tidying up, cleaning or cooking, we do everything together. In exceptional cases I accept cages for the night sleep if the owner wants it or if a dog needs an own secure place, otherwise every dog sleeps in its own bed. Of course, they also swap among each other.

Information Sanja S. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting your dog I would like to know all about his / her habits, quirks and idiosyncrasies, the good ones and the bad ones. And do not worry about; no dog on earth has really bad habits. We just have to learn to handle with them :-). The more I know the better I can adjust myself into it and that is only your dog's beneficial. His / her eating habits and his / her favorite toy, his / her times to sleep or rest and party times. Short notes about meal times and the amount of food that is fed, which treats are allowed and how much a day. Simply everything what makes him / her as comfortable as possible to facilitate the separation from you and your dog. Keep in mind it is supposed to be a kind of vacation for your dog too. Despite my love for animals, I must confess that I like more small and medium-sized dogs up to 50 lbs., whether purebred or mixed breed. Particularly naughty or aggressive dogs I never had for dog sitting, and cannot tell about it.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks Our trips are not just limited to go for a walk 2 to 3 times a day in our neighborhood; I also like to visit dog parks, of course, only with your permission and after building a trustful relationship with your dog. Otherwise, we have beautiful running trails for jogging or cycling. Depending on the needs and condition of your dog we will complete a program that won't overwork him / her but makes him / her more satisfied and happy. Your dog's sleeping arrangement If your dog sleeps inside, so he / she will do this with us as well. Either he / she has his / her own kennel, or he / she is looking for a nice spot where he / she likes it best. Maybe he / she will find the favorite place in a cozy corner, on the rug, on the couch or under the bed ... depending on their mood and occasion. For smaller dogs up to 40 lbs. I also do not mind if they make themselves comfortable in my bed. It doesn’t make sense to force a dog to a certain place he/she needs to sleep. I am convinced that everyone will find his / her individual place. But if your dog is used to sleep outside, please drop off his / her dog house, kennel or sleeping pillow to get him / her comfortable like at home. Time I'll spend with your dog Except that we'll go 2 to 3 times a day for a walk around our neighborhood, I also like to visit dog parks, of course, only with your permission and after building a structured trust to your dog. Otherwise we'll use the beautiful walking trails as well that are good for jogging and cycling. If your dog’s condition will allowed we will work out a daily activity program for him / her that will not overworked him / her but makes him / her more satisfied and happy. Our back yard is ideal to romping and running along and the pool offers the cooling-off after all. Your dog won't be alone; there is always someone around just in case I'll have to go shopping.

Availability
I'm available every day for dog boarding or day care and like to schedule all pick ups and drop offs individuell. Dogs are never alone, we spend most of the day playing (out- and inside) and in-between there is enough time to rest.
