About

Hello my name ia Sandy Devine. I am a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College 2011. My devotion to to all that concerns the happiness and wellness of animals is my life's passion. I love spending as much time with animals as I possibly can. When I'm with your pets weather I'm pet sitting, training, or just having fun time I am absolutly focused on and connected with them. I am very good at whatever encounters I have with animals because I love doing it!

I chose the petcare industry as my profession because I love interacting with animals in a loving way. When I'm providing a pet service it's so exciting to me. Making new friends and forming a speacial bond with them makes my world go round. I'm so lucky to have part in all that I can that involves animals.

    Over the last 15 years Sandy has stayed at our house and cared for all 3 of our dogs. She is knowledgeable regarding their needs and most of all trustworthy which is so important. Bonus fun to get daily updates with pics of dogs happy while we are gone. Our pups have absolutely loved her. She is reliable and organized.

    Since I was young I have always loved animals. Dogs, hamsters, rats, birds... I've had the pleasure of them all! Rescuing the neighbors dogs, or so I thought, was my job. As I got older I started sitting all my friends pets when they would go on vacations. And 10 years ago when I  got certified as a dog trainer I of coarse incorcporated pet sitting and dog walking.

    Mostly I work with families and their pets. But I have and do care for people in roomate situations and single people too. All my clients love their petss so much! And they show it by keeping them home while they're away to provide a comfortable and familiar environment while being cared for by a qualified, experienced and loving speacialist. Thats me!

    Last weekend I was on vacation...I mean sitting for 3 Terrier mix pups. We had such a fun weekend. Going to the park, taking pictures, basking in the sun and playing. I always incorporate a little basic training throughout our visits. They are all at different levels with in their skills but that what makes it fun. My buddies always remember me and get so excited no matter how long it's been. It's so great! 

    I'd think they would hire me. I am a pro. I have long  relations  with my regular clients. I am experienced and educated in my area of expertise. Mostly they know they can trust in my care for their pets above and beyond.

    Ask about their credentials, years of experience in what and how they came to be a qualified in the pet care industry. Are references avalible. Requst permission for a background check if still needed.
