About: I have been taking care of dogs at a very young age. There was a never a day where my home did not have a pet. At age 19, I was hired to be a boarding manager on the spot due to my experience. I have been trained to break up aggressive dog fights, train dogs, crate train, socialize dogs that have never been with other dogs, trim dog nails, also give good baths! I am available almost any day. I already have loyal clients and I am always looking to expand my business. Thank you for reading and I look forward to meeting your fur baby! I currently work from home so I have a pretty great set up to care for your babies. I work from 7am-330pm, I can care for them during and after my work hours, weekend of course, overnight sitting, all the possibilities :) Although I don’t have a yard, I would still take them out to use the bathroom and play for a bit between my breaks and lunch period. My home is spacious and of course a safe environment for your fur baby :) they are more than welcome to cuddle next to me while I work or just lay out and take a nap in the rooms or living room.

“Day care and boarding at Sandra’s is the best of the best! Poppy has the best time with her and the other dogs! When she comes home, she’s tired and happy!”


15. Allison S.

“Allison was AMAZING! She was able to work with my extremely last minute schedule and sent updates throughout the day. I was nervous leaving my 9 week old puppy with someone new, but Juniper loved her stay! She got lots of outside time- which is her favorite- and passed out as soon as we got home. I’ll be booking with Allison again!”


16. Haley P.
“Haley is very good with animals. She used to watch/take care of my Boston terrier and elderly cat while I was at work and/or on vacation. She was very loving and kind with my pets. If she hadn’t had to move away, I would still be asking her to care for my fur babies. She is very trustworthy and honest. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter. She will treat your animals like her own.”

19. Kayla D.
About: I grew up with a variety of animals (I grew up on a farm). I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and teaching them tricks. I have experience with senior care and medicine. I have experience with boarding, housing sitting, and doggy day care. i work monday- friday 8-5 and i go home for lunch around 1145 and could your pet can take a quick pee break. I also have a cat who doesn’t mind other animals. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure they have a safe and comfortable environment, provide regular feeding, playtime, and exercise, and monitor their health closely. In clients' homes, I follow their specific instructions, maintain the pet's routine, and keep the home secure and tidy.
