Pet care encompasses every waking hour because I’m a dog mom of three! In saying that I can’t afford the perfect life of hanging out with my dogs 24/7 although I keep trying! I’m super flexible with my job. No set hours so whatever suits your pets needs/schedule works for me! Socializing, insane nature walks, or sitting at a picnic table or bench just taking it all in and reflecting, because you 💯 know that our pets are the masters of reflection and taking it all in❤️Flexibility and open mindedness makes everyone’s life better.

Safety, trust & environment

I don’t offer my home for boarding but we do live on 10 acres of property that is full of madrone trees, creeks, challenging terrain or relaxing flat logging roads for an epic leg stretch! Every animal is different and has their own individual needs and wants so once we assess those we can create a program that will be pure stoke for your pet! I’m an outdoorsy chick who is always scouting for fish so my walks are generally planned around a watershed for the most part. One thing that I can promise you is that there’s a good chance your pet will be pretty pumped to see me again🫶 Your home=your rules🤙

Information SHANDY D. would like to know about your pet

Please be transparent with your animals. Trust me, I have challenging dogs myself. Reality vs perception. At the end of the day we want to create a beautiful experience for your buddy. Transparency gives more opportunities to evade any safety risks. Open and honest goes a long way so that we can work together on creating the best days ever for them!

A typical day

If you take a look at my profile pics you can see that my my dogs have a pretty spectacular life, cool dogs doing cool things. Swimming is HUGE on our list and if your companion isn’t a swimmer I can assure you that all of the sites and smells are just as good. If we have a senior client then we will adjust to their needs physically❤️Same with physical issues or challenges. Sometimes just a change of scenery can make a world of difference. I’m not a huge fan of dog parks but if they are gated sometimes it’s the only way to get a good blast of energy out of your buddy so I’m totally cool with that or you need socializing or even just part of the party pack!

Pet care experience

Compassionate, communicative, safety focused and respectful of my clients and their buddies of all different shapes and sizes! not to mention we live in such a beautiful part of the world and dogs just make it so much better to share with! I can be the good guy or the stern guy, all depends on the situation and the needs of your babies! I’m a merchandiser for a well known pet food company so well versed in animal nutrition. My dogs dabble in Top Dog events here and there so I’m definitely well versed in the challenges of some breeds and I’ve also been a house/animal sitter (all types of animals large and small) pretty solidly for the last few years with Trusted Housesitters. I have 5⭐️ reviews for all of my sits, repeat sits and more importantly life long friendships with my clients and their animals. Let’s just say that I have a ton of furry nieces and nephews 🤣 I’m taking the plunge with ROVER to keep active, to continue my flexible income goals and to support my stupidly expensive fishing habit. But all jokes aside this is ridiculously serious to me because it’s a nightmare when you can’t take a holiday or travel or focus on work because you don’t have the trust or faith that your pets will be cared for at the same level as you do. A few years of Veterinary Tech and Grooming work gives me a fairly mature and solid base of animal husbandry practices and procedures that is always an asset as well as SO MUCH LOVE and APPRECIATION that we get to be loved back by all the critters!

Shandy is an amazing woman. She sent us photos every few hours of the dogs, and took amazing care of our cats and the houses. She truly is someone I would trust with everything!!!!! This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone that wasn’t immediate family. Shandy is now always apart of our family and always welcomed back. She is AMAZING!

Shandy is the best choice when it comes to caring for your furry friend, and she proves it in a matter of minutes! She is attentive to their specific needs, and all about keeping your pet safe. She is reliable, trustworthy, and communicative. Your mind will be at ease and your dog’s tail won’t stop wagging!
