Couldn’t be better! Larry fed all animals, spent the night with the dog which was greatly appreciated, he even took out the trash my hubby forgot. I came home to happy healthy pets!

I have used this service many times in the past 6 years and have always felt my pets had the best of care. Most recently was this month and my critters were cared for by Larry and he is just great. I appreciate everything this service does to make sure i do not need to worry about my "kids' while i am away.

I called Sandy and Larry after another pet sitter I had found online couldn't be reached right before my trip. Larry was able to stay in my home with my 2 dogs with only a few days notice. I don't think my pups even missed me, they were so spoiled and well cared for by Larry while I was gone. He was with them for 14 hours overnight and walked them twice a day. I will definitely use them again for my future trips. Thanks Larry and Sandy !!

Larry & Sandy are AMAZING! We love and trust them, as do our furry babies (Sammy & Sheila)!e have used them many times, both for quick short trips, and for longer international trips. They keep our doggies in their routines, never having to take them out of their comfort zone (our home). Larry normally comes to stay, and takes such good care of our little ones. Always sending pictures and updates, and hi's from the babies, while we are away. We have recommended them to all our friends and family, and will continue to do so, and feel so lucky to have found them to put our minds at ease, that our doggies are receiving as much attention, love and care (probably being a little too spoilt) :) while we are not with them. LOVE LOVE LOVE this company! You should hire them, and tell all your Pet owner friends about them. You will never be dissapointed.

As always, it went great! We feel extremely comfortable going on vacation with care from Sandy's as do our pets! It is a great feeling to know how well our pets and home are covered while away, and wonderful to see photos and videos of how they are doing while we are away from home. A true pleasure every time!

Sandy (now known as George's OTHER Mommy) and her husband Larry love dogs like no other people I have ever known. They treat George like their own. Throughout the weekend I received pictures, videos and updates on his current status. (Example: pic sent with George on Larry's lap in the recliner watching movies. Captioned: "King George enjoying his afternoon movie!" Quick response anytime I texted to check on him. Of course, George was happy to see me when I picked him up, but he gave Sandy kisses before we left, and usually, he won't go near anyone else when I'm around. I could tell that he was well cared for and loved on while I was gone. Sandy is now my Go-to dog sitter. No one else will do!

It always goes well! We have used Sandys Loving Pet Care for short trips and also for trips when we were gone for 1 month.
The dogs are happy and content and. Sandys pet care keeps the dogs to a routine of walking and feeding.
There is nothing they won't do for us while we are gone! I usually buy alll the dog food but leave extra money forincidentals if we run out of dog biscuits .

They stay at our home but provide there own meals

Larry and Sandy personify professionalism in everything they do. My dog Miss Toots truly loves them and looks forward to their visits.
They can be counted on to arrive at the times indicated and to provide personal attention to the pet. In addition, they provide text messages to let you know they are there and to provide updates.  The pictures are also an added plus.

Sandy is wonderful. She took care of my two male cats who are used to a lot of attention and love. I felt better knowing that they were in good hands while I was on my trip. My shyer boy warmed up to Sandy right away. She also collected mail and took in garbage cans. Text messages sent to let me know all was well. Also was very responsive to last minute request. The best!

Sandy and Larry are great! We were referred to them by our neighbors. Our pets absolutely love them, and you can tell that they really care about what they do. They provide a free consultation and come over to your house to meet your pets and learn about their daily routine. We have used them multiple times this year, and already have them lined up for December. They text updates and pictures throughout the day, so you always know when they come and how your pets are doing. I would highly recommend them! - Whitney and Chris P.

Very professional ... Both Sandy &Larry personable and liike our dogs. Established rapport ... We had two out of state weddings this summer and needed in home care 24:7 at our house. We booked with them as they were recommended from two of my friends who use them. Came over months ahead to meet us and dogs, assessed our needs . They gathered all necessary info - feeding , routine ,walking , special instructions , house details etc. All went well . Larry very attentive to our instructions and our dogs love him. Yes the dogs sleep with him! We felt very comfortable with his care and staying in our home .
He was great with communication . I recommend their services .

We left on June 13, 2015 in the morning.  We had an afternoon visit scheduled that day.  We received confirmation through texts, photos, and videos that Annie and Joey were indeed fine!  Each day we were gone both Sandy and Larry sent us confirmation that the cats were well, their location in the home, how they were dealing with stress, if and how much they were eating, and general information about how Annie and Joey were getting along.  Those updates meant the world to me.  Every visit was noted and lots of extra time was spent with the cats...we were beyond pleased with the time and effort spent making the cats comfortable.  We had two visits per day after the first day.
Sandy and Larry are experienced animal care givers with loads of compassion, patience, and interest in the well being of their charges.  We felt very confident in their competency and adherence to the highest standards of professionalism while performing the job at our home.  Annie and Joey were as comfortable as we were with Mr. and Mrs. Frank, and approached both soon after they arrived at our home, which for Annie is extremely unusual.  She is not giving to socializing right away, and sometimes will closet herself away from a caregiver if she doesn't feel comfortable.  Within minutes of our initial visit, Annie was approaching Sandy and allowing contact.  That is the way Sandy and Larry interact with animals and that's why animals love them.
I think my boy Joey found a great friend in Larry, and that's because Larry does have a way with cats!!  I would definitely say he is a bonafide Cat Whisperer!!  Now, Sandy is just as gifted with animals so I have to say that they both are extremely amazing!
I felt like my two kitties were being looked after like family, and everything we hoped for, Sandy and Larry Frank exceeded our hopes.  Thank you both for being so good to Annie and Joey and we hope you will be available for the next time!!
Sincerely,
Neal, Alicia, Jessica, Anastacia, and Joey John Paw Snyder

Sandy and Larry do an excellent job. Have used their service several times. Very dependable.
They kept me updated on how well my cat was doing.

Sandy and Larry are two of the best dog sitters I've ever had. Because I have to travel with my job 3-4 days at a time with my job, my dog and I have found a loving and caring home with Sandy and Larry. I appreciated the pictures, phone calls and updates they sent to me on a regular basis. My dog is happy to return to Sandy and Larry anytime I need to be away. They are a little out of my way but I am happy to make the trip. I know she is safe and happy with Sandy and Larry!


Response from Sandy's Loving Pet Care
"Awwww Thank you for your kind words. We love taking care of little Fergie. She is one of the sweetest ones here! Just like others before her she makes herself right at home and takes over the bed! lol. We are so blessed with the little doggies that love to come to Aunt Sandy and Uncle Larry's. We look forward to her next stays with us in May. Thanks again for your kind words, Sandy"

We originally asked Sandy and Larry to meet our one rescue dog who is very shy. Rosco immediately bonded with Larry which came as a total surprise. He is extremely leary of strangers. Larry was  mellow, relaxed and came with a pocketfull of pupperoni to bribe our guy.
 My sister was unable to find a sitter for her two rescues up in the Gulfport area. As we were all going to Disney together, we asked if Larry would also take on her two here at our house. Again, a perfect match.  Her dogs took to Larry immediately.
We have a doggy door that all three could go out during the day to use the fenced in yard.
Larry sent us texts to let us know he was here and all was well everyday. We got a report every morning as well. The dogs while ecstatic to see us back were absolutely unstressed. Two of the three have dietary restrictions which were obviously followed as no allergic reactions after our return. 
The experience was wonderful for us and the dogs. Larry's presence was practically invisible. Very respectful of everything. I just wish he had taken advantage of the coffee cake we left for him. :) 
The price was fair and the peace of mind was priceless.

Larry has been coming almost every time I call, even though it is sometimes a surprise to  him. He is very good natured about it.  I am getting a lot more done this way at work. It is a bit expensive, but I am so pleased it is well worth  it. Someone in the neighborhood noticed what a nice job they did and has hired them.
I think he walks them long enough that they  are happy to be at home afterward. They are happier all the way around.
I am so grateful.
