Pet care experience
I have been a dog mom since 2003 and they truly are my world. After working as a licensed pharmacist for 11 years, I realized that animals were truly my passion and decided to leave pharmacy so I could do this full time. I’m well versed in the needs of puppies, senior dogs, and special medical needs such as the home exercises required following orthopedic surgery. I am certified in Pet CPR and first aid. I have gone through both private and group training classes with my personal dogs so I am well versed in positive reinforcement training and can help you reinforce the basics with young puppies. My youngest dog, Zoey, has even earned all 3 levels of Canine Good Citizen certification with me as her handler. My house is a safe haven for small dogs! My personal dogs are each 15 pounds and I only take boarding dogs up to 25 pounds. I am also a low volume boarder - meaning I only take 2 boarders at a time (3 if 2 of them come from the same family). This means that your pup is getting lots of attention from me and does not have the stress of being placed in a home with a dozen unfamiliar dogs. For my traveling services, I love big dogs as well and would be happy to take care of them in your home. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and cats too!
Reviews
Amanda is wonderful with our dogs. I love knowing my dogs are well taken care of and look forward to seeing her.
Amanda was a wonderful person for us to choose to care for our pups while we were on vacation. She was flexible in our meeting times before we left as we had conflicts and that was so appreciated. The dogs loved her! She kept us updated on how they were and sent great pictures of our dogs to us daily. We will definitely book with her again.
My dog Milo is always excited to stay with “Auntie” Amanda and has an amazing time every time! I was in Hawaii for vacation and it was wonderful knowing that even though I was 4000+ miles away, my pup was being treated like a prince and getting the best care. The peace of mind that brings is everything!!! My pup even went sailing on inflatable boats in Amanda’s pool and got a bath when he decided to roll around in something stinky 🤣 Amanda definitely treats my Milo like he’s her own dog and I appreciate that immensely!
Amanda is amazing as always and I feel great knowing that my pup is in her good hands. My flight home was delayed but I knew my pup was fine and enjoying having another hour and half to hang out with Amanda and her pups 😀

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced in yard and 2 sweet dogs of my own. Safety is my first priority so I'll keep my dogs separated from yours until I can be certain that everyone gets along. Dogs are allowed on furniture in my home unless you prefer otherwise. I'll keep any regular routine that your fur babies are used to.
Home
Information Amanda R. would like to know about your pet
Please be sure to let me know ahead of time if your pup has any special needs or behavioral issues that I should be aware of. If you wish to board with me, I will send you a brief questionnaire to fill out before I meet your dog. I require a meet and greet for all boarding.
A typical day
I am a very active person and I enjoy keeping dogs both physically and mentally stimulated. I enjoy long walks, playing games of fetch and tug. And of course lots of pets and snuggles! For drop in visits and walks, please note that time outside is spent at my discretion due to weather. I have no problem walking in the rain. However, if there is lightening or extreme temperatures that pose a danger to your pet or myself we will do a short walk to potty and spend the rest of our time doing indoor play for safety.
