🐾 About Me Hi, I’m Sandra—a retired teacher turned full-time pet carer in Strathpine. I share my home with three adored chihuahuas, so life is already full of little paws and plenty of love. I walk my own dogs every morning and enjoy offering dog walking and home visit services to families in Strathpine and the surrounding suburbs. Whether it’s a gentle stroll or a friendly check-in, I provide calm, attentive care that treats every pet like family. My services are focused on Strathpine and the surrounding suburbs, as I travel by foot, bike, or public transport. This local approach ensures dependable care and consistent routines for the pets I look after. (please see map in gallery to check if you are in the area I service) 💖 Why I Love Pets Animals have always been central to my life. I believe every pet is a story to be honored. I build trust through patience, play, and positive reinforcement—helping pets feel safe, understood, and joyful. 🐶 Experience With decades in education and pet care, I’ve looked after dogs, cats, birds, rats, and fish. I specialize in enrichment and gentle behavior support, especially for anxious or reactive pets. I keep learning to meet each animal’s unique needs. 🛠️ Services 🐕 Dog Walking Local walks in Strathpine and nearby suburbs On-leash for safety; long leads optional Tailored to your dog’s pace and temperament 🏡 Home Visits Feeding, litter cleaning, medication (if discussed), playtime Gentle companionship, brushing, and behavior observation Ideal for shy, elderly, or special-needs pets 🏡 Pet Sitting Includes home visit services, plus overnight stay I’ll need to leave for a few hours daily to care for my own dogs—please only book if that’s okay 🐾 Dog Boarding/Day Care Unavailable 📅 Availability I walk my dogs every morning Available for morning/afternoon/evening walks and morning/afternoon/evening visits I travel by foot, bike, or public transport
