What a great experience for my dog Kovu and myself. Great communication throughout his stay, and she sent amazing pictures as well. If you want to leave your dog in good hands and not have to worry Sandra is your girl. Thank you and see you very soon.

So grateful we found Sandra to watch our fur baby. Sandra is patient and great with my shy, nervous dog. I received lots of pictures and videos and always got a quick response. She had plenty of room to run and play. So happy with our experience, we will be back!

I had a last minute rush to find a sitter and Sandra came through for me. Manhattan had such a great time with her and was smiling in all the pics she sent to me. He came home happy and tuckered out. Will definitely use Sandra again in the future for watching my boy.

I can’t give Sandra enough praise. We’ve had some trouble finding a good fit for my 2 y/o lab puppy but Sandra assured me he would be okay at her place. She was right. It was very apparent in every picture and video she sent that he had an absolute blast and was treated like her own dog. She has a big heart and a lot of patience for dogs; the exact traits you’d want in someone taking care of your pup. I didn’t have to worry about her not being able to manage his idiosyncrasies because of all the experience she has taking care of dogs. Little things like making him some rice and chicken when his stomach was upset show the length she will go to in order to make the pups comfortable. It was a stress free experience. My dog also LOVED her big backyard. I’m happy to have found her and will send Mak to her again.

Sandra is very knowledgeable about dogs and rescues and dog daycare, which, as a new pet owner was very reassuring. She did a great job taking care of my dog. She regularly sent photos and updates. My dog appeared to be having a blast every day. I will definitely bring her back to Sandra’s
for my next trip.

Sandra was amazing with our pups. We had to head out of town for a last minute trip and even stayed a day longer than planned. Sandra was incredibly flexible and willing to keep them an extra day for us. She sent a ton of pictures of them playing in her huge backyard. Our puppies love water so she got out her doggie pool and they splashed around all weekend. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again.

Sandy was fabulous. I was traveling abroad for 2 weeks and needed to find a sitter for my Pembroke Corgi--Lexie. My regular sitter was unavailable and I didn't want to take her to Kennel. I was nervous about leaving her so long with a stranger. Sandra was the first contact I made on Rover.com and she responded quickly. We scheduled a pre-visit and she immediately put me at ease. Lexie took to her right away. She freely roamed the house and sat at Sandy's feet for most of our visit. Sandy was so attentive, calm and reassuring. I even learned a lot about Lexie from my talks with her. Lexie is not routinely around other dogs, but Sandy was able to get her to play, romp in the snow and engage with her dogs. She sent me pictures and video while on travel. I knew Lexie had a good time because she showed Sandy the same affection and attention that she does me when I went to pick her up. Usually, Lexie is "moody" with me for a few days when I leave her for an extended period. Not this time, she showed no signs of moodiness or rejection. We took up where I left her 2 weeks ago. Sandy is on my speed dial. Thank you for coming to my rescue.

This was my first time having Maddy stay with overnight care. Sandra was incredible!! It gave me so much peace knowing she was in good hands. Sandra sent me a bunch of photos and gave me updates often. I will definitely be using Sandra in the future, Maddy had the best time!

Sandra was amazing with our Koda! Koda came back from her stay tired and happy, which is always a good sign. We were on an international trip and it was great having peace of mind that she was in good hands. We will absolutely book with Sandra again!

Sandra took such great care of our boxer pup while we went out of town. She was very flexible with pickup and dropoff and provided daily updates and pictures on how he was doing so we wouldn’t have to worry. We really appreciated the details on how he was eating away from home and how he played with the other dogs in the large backyard. We will definitely look to book again knowing he will be well taken care of! Thanks!

Sandra was great with our pups! She has a nice fenced in backyard that our dogs got to run around in, and clearly took great care as well as a bunch of photos of them. They came back exhausted from all the fun they had! Would absolutely want to have Sandra watch our dogs again.

Sandra and Mike were wonderful sitters for Elmer. We were away unexpectedly due to a loss in the family. They were able to accommodate our last minute trip and provided pictures and updates while we were away. As a pregnant and anxious dog mom, they were communicative and able to ease my worries about leaving him with someone new. I know Elmer felt at home with them and loved running around in their big backyard with some new friends throughout the week. We would highly recommend and will be sure to use them again! THANK YOU!!!

Lux and Ender had a blast with Sandra, and we felt very much at ease leaving them in her care. Sandra is one of the most experienced dog sitters we've encountered, and it showed in her excellent care of our pups. She sent regular updates and pictures- it was an easy time away knowing they were in such good hands! We look forward to having them stay with Sandra again, as do Lux and Ender, I'm sure!
