IN GOOD HANDS WITH ME

61,

Hi my name is Sandra.
Over the years I have had dogs, cats, birds, fish and reptiles
I have worked at the Mornington Animal Shelter ( Vic) and started my own cat rescue group
I rescued a litter of puppies, tube feed them and I was mum until they were 3 months old. Im a responsible adult, clean and house proud. To me animals bring love and laughter and companionship. I am very understanding of timid cats and dogs. References , reviews available on this site.
Since last year ( April 2023 ) I have been pet sitting in NSW & QLD
Currently in Qld, returning to Melbourne soon as my elderly dads health has detiorated. I will be back in Northern NSW, QLD for winter of 2024, then spend Spring in the same areas before heading to Tasmania Dec 2024, January 2025. I've left my availability open from June onwards at this stage, Not exactly sure how long I will be in Melbourne for.
Looking forward to hearing from you
Cheers Sandra

We have just had Sandra look after our pets, home and garden while we were away for 14 days. I highly recommend Sandra. We have come home to happy pets, thriving garden and an extremely clean home. I will definitely contact her again for our next sit, Thank you so much Sandra, Cheers Sue and Jack
 
SUE (Rye, Victoria VIC, Mar 2021 - 14 days)
Sandra had a real connection with George and Ace from the get go! We came back to very happy and relaxed fur babies. Our home was left clean and tidy. So comforting knowing our pets and home were in such capable hands.
 
ANN (Hollywell QLD, Mar 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
I booked Sandra to house and pet sit for 10 days while I was overseas. I had absolutely no issues with Sandra; she came to see me and met the pets before I left. She communicated well via messanger, left the house as I had left it and even bought the dog some schmackos and left me some milk to come home too so I could have a much needed coffee!!! I would recommend Sandra.
 
JESS (Arundel QLD, Feb 2024 - 1 week 2 nights)
Sandra took care of our house and pets for 10 days. We appreciated Sandra taking the time to come visit us and meet Clay (our dog) beforehand. Our house was left immaculate and nothing was out of place. Our pets were very well cared for. Sandra was in communication with my Aunt throughout the sit as our reception was a little unreliable. I would've liked to receive a few more text updates but I knew our pets were in good hands. Overall, a pretty easy and stress free sit. I would ... MORE
 
RICH (Highland Park QLD, Feb 2024 - 1 week 2 nights)
We were very happy to have Sandra look after our house & cats, she has had previous experience looking after cats 🐈‍⬛ & they were very contented on our return. My family came in a few days before our return to finish off the house sit, they were very impressed with the way the house had been left for them. Very reliable & communications clear & precise. Would highly recommend Sandra to look after your house & pets. Cheers 🥂
 
LEANE (Tinonee NSW, Jan 2024 - 2 weeks)
Sandra made the entire process easy and stress free. She took such amazing care of our house and more importantly our pets. The dog in particular was so well cared for and prioritised. She communicated well and was able to make excellent decisions also. Thank you so much to Sandra. Very happy to recommend her.
 
DOUGLAS (Alstonville NSW, Dec 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
Sandra stepped in at very short notice due to another sitter cancelling last minute. She settled in quickly and pampered our 2 furry friends beautifully. We wish her well for her future sits until she returns to us next year.
 
ROBYN (Kawungan QLD, Nov 2023 - 1 week 5 nights)
Sandra looked after our two boys Brandon and Yogi toy poodles .The boys were well looked after and very happy my our return . Sandra watered our plants and looked after the house and left the house very tidy. I highly recommend Sandra for any future housesits.
 
DEBBIE (Benowa QLD, Oct 2023 - 7 days)
Animals were fed and house tidy.
 
DENISE (Kungala NSW, Oct 2023 - 5 days)
Sandra was perfect to house sit my two cats. She is easy to communicate with and everything was very well looked after and clean when I got back. The boys loved having her around for this house sit. I would have Sandra back at any time and would recommend her for any house sit. Margie
 
MARGIE (Newmarket QLD, Oct 2023 - 3)
Sandra did a great job in looking after the house and Sammy the dog. We were so pleased to come back and find a happy dog and a very clean house. NO hesitation in recommending Sandra to house and pet sit.
 
SHARYN (Beerwah QLD, Sep 2023 - 7 days)
5 stars for you Sandra ! I was so nervous about leaving our dog for so long and for the first time but everything went so smoothly , I couldn’t have asked for more . Our home was very clean upon arrival and our pup was in great spirits . I received photos , videos and messages throughout the whole time away and I would totally recommend Sandra to anyone needing a house/pet sitter. Thank you so much!
 
MICHELLE (Peregian Beach South QLD, Jul 2023 - 17 days)
Sandra did a wonderful job looking after our home while we were away. Despite our less than friendly fur baby Bean, she looked after everything as if it was her own and it was lovely coming home to a clean place and knowing that Bean was fed and watered. Highly recommend Sandra and would use her services again
 
EMMA (Lutwyche QLD, Jun 2023 - 10 days)
Thankyou Emma, Bean was as you described ! Thank you for being up front re his behavior ! You made me feel very welcomed in to your home. Yes..... I'd cone back again, " Beanie " you didn't scare me off 🤣
With out doubt we throughly recommend Sandra as a Pet & House Sitter. Her attention to our young puppy & cat were beyond our expectations. She is a very caring & conscientious lady. She keep our property as she would her own. Sandra keep us updated with our mail and anything she considered important. We would welcome her into our home anytime.
 
PATRICIA (Margate QLD, May 2023 - 5 weeks)
Thanks Pat & Reg Its been a while since I have minded a puppy and she kept me on my toes but she's georgeous. Such a laid back cat you have ! Happy to come again if I'm able to 🙂 Nice meeting you and staying before you went away
Sandra communicated well via phone regularly from our initial contact which was very reassuring as we were first timers at leaving our house and pets with a sitter. It was lovely to return to our home nice and clean and of course an enthusiastic welcome from Peppi who was obviously well cared for. The garden was well managed and the chooks blissfully uninterested in who cares for them! We highly recommend Sandra as a sitter.
 
NARELLE (Alstonville NSW, Apr 2023 - 4 weeks)
Sandra was great to communicate with. She has a natural affinity with animals. I felt very confident leaving her with my cat & dog. She also left the house very clean & tidy. I would highly recommend Sandra as a house sitter👏👍
 
ROBYN (Alfredton VIC VIC, Mar 2023 - 6 days)
Whoops, sorry Robyn , I called you Liz ( the sit before yours ) I got Woody's name right though. Hope to see you guys another time. 🙂
Terrific! Sandra left house very clean and sent photos of cats showing a quick bond established!
 
LIZ (Creswick VIC, Mar 2023 - 5 days)
Sandra just completed a 10 day house sit for us in Mount Eliza Vic. Upon our return our house was left absolutely spotless. Our lovely poodle Kaspar was well cared for and settled in easily with Sandra. Communication with Sandra was easy and relaxed and we felt secure in the knowledge that our house and pet were in very goods hands. We can highly recommend Sandra as a valued sitter and we will endeavor to utilise her for future sits if her availability permits.
 
STEPHEN (Mount Eliza VIC, Apr 2021 - 10 days)
Sandra is a great petsitter my very timid cats warmed to her very quickly which was obvious by the numerous photos I received while away. The house was clean and tidy on my return. I would definitely recommend Sandra and would welcome her back when I next need a sitter
 
MARGARET (Aspendale Gardens VIC, Mar 2021 - 1 week 6 days)
Fabulous sitter. Easy communication, a special lady. Thanks from Milly the cat and joy
 
JOY (Mccrae VIC, Feb 2020 - 12 days)
16 months since Sandra last sat for us but when she walked in, it was like it was yesterday. Great to have her back knowing our girls were in great hands. They absolutely love her. House was spotless on our return too (over and above actually!!) Already booked her for next time. Thanx heaps Sandra :)
 
PAM (Skye VIC, Jan 2020 - 5 days - 1 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
That's just me ! Thanks for appreciating me !
Sandra was a great house sitter. Our dog really missed her when she went home. We were very impressed with our home when we returned and she had even dusted my collection of Elephants, after checking with our family that it would be Ok. While away we chatted a couple of times re our animals as well. We have asked Sandra to come again next time we go away.
 
GRAEME (Arthurs Seat VIC, Nov 2019 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Sandra was a great house sitter. We returned home after our 3 weeks away to find everything looking great and our pets looking well & happy. I would highly recommend Sandra and will definitely be contacting her again when we go away on our next holiday!
 
JENNIFER (Tootgarook VIC, Sep 2019 - 3 weeks)
Sandra is a fantastic house sitter. We met prior to the house sit and we were clearly on the same page which was very reassuring . Our dogs were well loved in our absence and our home was spotless on our return. Sandra has excellent communication skills and at no time we were left wondering how things were going, I could not recommend her highly enough.
 
SALLY (Mount Martha VIC, Aug 2019 - 1 month 2 weeks)
Sandra did the most wonderful job house-sitting for us and looking after our two cats. She is an excellent communicator, sending us updates with photos of the cats each day. We returned home to find happy cats, the house looking sparklingly clean with sheets and towels washed, the garden thriving and everything just as it should be. Thank you so much Sandra! We are really grateful for your help in house-sitting!
 
NICOLA (Brighton VIC, Mar 2019 - 1 week 1 day)
We were extremely lucky to have Sandra take care of our pets. I was very apprehensive about leaving a stranger to look after our much loved pets and our home. Our dog is very old hand & takes 3 medications for her heart and seizures. From the moment we met Sandra, it was obvious that she was the one we wanted to look after our pets . She took our little old dog to the vet and called us to explain a complication. It is often difficult to give our dog meds, so Sandra came up with a ... MORE
 
GINA (Seaford VIC, Feb 2019 - 2 weeks)
Sandra has been a wonderful house sitter to my pet dog. She was very prompt with messages and looked after my house and my dog very well. Very happy with her and will definitely recommend her for house sitting for pets.
 
MANJU (Frankston VIC, Jan 2019 - 4 weeks)
Thanks Manju I have so much pleasure getting a timid dog to the stage where we are best mates !
Sandra was lovely, our animals, especially our dogs, loved her. Our house was spotless and our animals had been very well cared for. Would definitely recommend Sandra for any house sitting (and have already passed her name on!)
 
APRIL (Bittern VIC, Nov 2018 - 3 days)
We needed an urgent short term housesitter for our two elderly Maltese dogs. Sandra was fabulous. She replied promptly to my request and was only too happy to help out in an emergency. Our dogs were well cared for and loved. Missy requires daily medication whic Sandra administered. Missy also needed help with the stairs. Sandra provided that help. Our home was looked after and our dogs loved. It was such a relief to find Sandra. I would recommend Sandra
 
INEZ (Oliver’s Hill Frankston South VIC, Nov 2018 - 2 days)
The boys were very happy with Sandra I would have Sandra back anytime to sit and take care Very caring to the cats
 
JANE (Bittern VIC, Nov 2018 - 4 days)
Thanks guys. Pleasure to take care of the boys. * 5 stars for all categories ! Loved your gardens.
Sandra was great with our dogs - they loved her. It was great peace of mind to know our house and pets were well looked after while we were so far away for a whole month. Thanks Sandra :)
