Lots of Puppy Love Here

Pet care experience

I work hard to ensure your pet will have the care and love that he or she needs when you're away on vacation, working long hours, or needing that mid-day dog walk. My goal is to make your pet comfortable while you have a peace of mind during your time away. I want to build a lasting relationship with every client, furry and otherwise. If you can't come to me, I will come to you! Allow your dog to feel safe and pampered in his or her own environment. I can bring the toys and treats and love your furry friend in your own home with drop-in visits. I have a dog of my own that has been a part of my family for two years. I had my other dogs for seventeen, 15 and 9 years respectively before their passing. My dog gets along well with other dogs and children, as I have a 13 year old. At my place, dogs are offered free roam of my home unless otherwise specified by you. I have a spacious back yard and plenty of toys. I often run DogTV for added relaxation and stimulation. I also have a white noise machine and Rescue Remedy for pets who struggle with anxiety. **Each booking day consists of a 24-hour cycle. If you arrive at 8am, check-out is now at 8am on your check-out date. (up to 6 hours after check-out will incur a half day rate charge) (6 or more hours after check-out will incur a full day rate charge). ** If your home is more than 15 miles from mine, there will be a one time fee of $10 for travel. To avoid this fee during meet and greets, we can meet at a central location such as a dog park.** ** All dogs in my care receive round the clock attention, minus reasonable trips I may have to take for food or another brief appointment. However, sometimes (as we all know), dogs can be sneaky. Please note that if severe damage to property occurs, you may be responsible to pay for repairs. ** If I become unavailable because of unforeseen circumstances, my partner Aaron (pictures in profile) will tend to your fur babies in my place. We also have reliable and caring back-ups just in case. Why I love dog sitting: I've had a dog as long as I can remember and have always felt close to them. I started volunteering when I was 13 years old at local shelters. My dogs went been through thick and thin with me. I've volunteered in rescue as well as acted as a champion for various animal legislation. I am a vegan who takes every opportunity to love and help an animal. About my yard Six foot concrete wall. The dogs love rolling around in the sand or grass. Some like to take a dip in the pool. Water is provided outdoors as well as a shaded porch area. My experience administering medication I have knowledge in administering medications and dealing with different medical illnesses such as diabetes, arthritis, blindness and other disabled dogs. Can do shots, oral and suppositories.

We have used Amanda several times and plan on using her next month. Amanda is timely on her visits and always sends a picture. We would highly recommend her for your pet care.

Amanda was quick to respond to my emails and she was great with sending pictures and updates! Our dog Ollie was happy and seemed to enjoy his stay!

Information Amanda W. would like to know about your pet

I think it's important to know what the personality is like. Are they quiet or rowdy? Do they enjoy aggressive play or gentle petting? How do they do around children and other dogs? Do they like an ear scratch or a belly rub?

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks There are numerous options for exercise depending on your breed and size of dog. I will take your dog to a local dog park where there's lots of trees and shade. I will also walk your dog through my neighborhood. If your dog prefers, we can also go to the Riparian Preserve for a beautiful nature walk. Please let me know in advance if your dog is frightened by traffic or other stimulation. My route will be tailored to your needs. Your dog's sleeping arrangement I have dog beds and two couches as well as blankets if the prefer the floor. I let them choose unless you have a request :) Time I'll spend with your dog As much as your dog wants :) When he or she is here, they are family. They will walk with us, snuggle with us, and play with us. They will never be quarantined away unless requested by you. This is my full time job, so any periods I will be away are brief. Time I'll spend with your dog That is totally negotiable. I love dogs, so we can play and hang all day or just an hour. Totally up to you depending on the needs of you and your pup (s). I enjoy playing just as much as they do :)
