About: I focus on ways to remain patient and allow an organic connection to develop between me and the animal. Each animal is different with different personalities and different needs. I have an end goal to be trusted by the animal so we can be friends,not the other way around. I earn their trust. I thrive in situations where an animal may be subdued, afraid or sruggles with trust, my ability to connect with an animal and the patience involved is something I take great pride in and thoroughly enjoy. Every animal deserves to be cared for, listened to and understood.. I love animals! I work from home and have a schedule that allows me to support pet owners with their pet care, walks, potty breaks, medications, who live within a reasonable distance from my home. Remaining patient with an animal who is meeting a stranger for the first time. Waiting it out, being on their time and show me they are ready and less scared or reluctant to meet me. Not expecting them to jump into my arms, understaning theyre ready when they're ready. Meet and greets and going with their routine. Realizing I am not "their human" so knowing and respecting boundaries. Anything that falls outside of that can sometimes lead to high levels of anxiety or fear in both the animal and the human. I like to take time earning the trust of the animal, so when they are ready to engage with me, we can do that as a team.

15. Sandra O.
“This was my first time using Sandra to care for my dog and cat at my home with drop in visits. She went above and beyond what was expected and gave my pets a lot of love and attention that they were sorely missing with me being out of town! I would definitely use Sandra again ??!”
16. Fawn G.
“Fawn went above and beyond to care for our cats! We are also in the middle of showing our home to sell and she ensured the floor was free of food and litter each time she checked on them. She sent AMAZINGLY CUTE photos of them and they adored her. She is a pet whisperer!”
17. Michael H.
About: I enjoy being with dogs and interacting with them. I’m not a dog trainer, but I have owned dogs most of my life. I’m not scared of big dogs. I teach high school and have a teachers schedule. My wife is a nurse who works nights and one high school boy at home. My oldest is in college. My schedule is flexible during the summer. I will be the only one providing service based on my family’s schedule. I have 3 acres fenced for horses without horses. I have two female dogs. One staffy, 8 y/o, and one bully, 5 y/o. I have a 4x5 chain link kennel in the garage if needed. If you have your kennel, we can use that.
