My schedule is steady, reliable, and built around giving pets calm, consistent care. I provide calm, consistent, safety‑focused care. I follow your routines exactly, keep your home clean, respect your space, and give clear updates so your pet feels secure.

Currently, I volunteer at Animal Refuge Center (started early 2021) I am fully employed as an IT professional. My schedule is a hybrid, which allows me to be a pet sitter any day of the week🙂 I understand that each dog is different therefore I make sure I build the connection. I always ask owners to give me as many details about the dog or cat(diet, activity level, etc) so I can walk them as much as they needed.
About: I’ve taken care of puppy’s, kittens, adult dogs & cats almost all of my life! I love animals dearly and I naturally have a special connection with them! I’m currently a student! I have plenty of free time to spend with animals, as well as walking and caring for them in my own home. ( if needed ) I live very close to a gated dog park, I also have an abundance of pet toys! I have a lovely cat named Rio, who gets along with dogs and cats very well!

“Sandra saved me this week by taking care of Belle, and even picking her up and dropping her off. Belle got to play with other pups and seems very happy ? Thank you Sandra!”
“This is the 2nd time that Hannah has boarded with Tom and Lyndsay. I love that they treat Hannah just like one of their own. She looks so relaxed in the pictures that they sent to me and I felt very comfortable that I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that she was in great hands. Cheryl L.”

“My dog had a great time with Mike and his dogs. Mike is very kind and knows a lot about dogs! Mike really helped us and accepted to look after my dog at the last minute. I highly recommend him for taking care of your dog.”
“Lili was very nice , her home was clean and spacious. She kept us updated constantly which eased Snows Dad mind because he was nervous leaving her with a stranger. I would recommend Lilian, very sweet girl and seems to have a ton of patience for our fur babies.”
“Reggie had a great time staying with Krista! Krista was happy to do a meet & greet before, so I felt comfortable. She kept me updated with daily pictures and was happy to keep him for a few extra hours as my flight was delayed. She was so easy to work with and very responsive. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I stand out because I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely invested in each pet’s routine. I follow instructions exactly, send clear updates every visit, and make sure you always know how your pet is doing. I’m very active, so dogs get real walks and engagement — not just a quick loop. I have a calm, gentle energy that helps shy or anxious pets feel safe, and I’m patient with all personalities. I don’t overbook, I don’t cancel last‑minute, and I treat every home and pet with the same care I’d want for my own. Pet care is part of my daily afternoon routine. I work Monday–Friday and schedule my visits during the same time window each day, which keeps things consistent for the pets I care for. I’m active and outdoors every afternoon anyway, so walks, drop‑ins, and playtime fit naturally into my day. I don’t overbook myself, so your pet always gets my full attention, and I follow their routine exactly — meals, meds, walks, and quiet time. My schedule is steady, reliable, and built around giving pets calm, consistent care. I provide calm, consistent, safety‑focused care. I follow your routines exactly, keep your home clean, respect your space, and give clear updates so your pet feels secure.
“Our dog & cat LOVED their stay of 5 days with Alain and his family! Really enjoyed getting updates and videos throughout their stay. They came home happy and relaxed, unlike our past experiences boarding at kennels in the past. Hoping to have them stay whenever we need to board them. Big thumbs up!!”
