Huge fenced in yard in SF home!

Pet care experience

My name is Amanda, I’m 28 years old and live with my husband in Annandale. We have a 4 y/o French Bulldog Hazel, who loves anything and everything that’s alive. I have always been an animal lover, spending time with animals is like therapy for me. Even when I was working 50+ hour work weeks I still found time to dog/cat sit in my spare time. Now that my work schedule has opened up, I am able to share the same love and care that I give to my little babe to yours. Our house is fully dog proof with more toys and beds than a pup could ask for. Our basement can be used as a playroom on cold or rainy days and our back yard is fenced in with tons of room to run around! I keep my house very clean, I do not live in a dog boarding facility...this is my home. I would NOT drop my dog off at a dirty house that seemed uncared for so I definitely wouldn't expect that from anyone else either. I typically only accept 1 dog at a time but in some instances such as short over laps or urgent situations (for my friends/family) I will accept an additional dog, and in those cases I have a system where no 2 dogs will ever be left unattended together for any amount of time whether they are crate trained or not. I have this system in place because dogs can be unpredictable, however that does NOT mean I accept dogs into my home who do not get along with other dogs. You must bring your dog over for a meet and greet first to make sure everyone is compatible and on the same page. I will work with little tendencies such as (but not limited to) food and toy aggression but any other unprovoked aggression will NOT be tolerated so please keep that in mind before contacting me about a stay. I always send out a form to anyone who books with me that asks in depth questions about your dogs behavior, daily habits and routine. Please be as honest as possible in order for everyone to have a good experience. If your dog is not potty trained please book under my puppy rate regardless of age. Thanks for considering me for your pet :) Feel free to message me with questions at any time.

Amanda took great care of my little Shelby while we were gone over the holidays. Interestingly, she was the first host who requested that I bring a blanket or pad of Shelby's so she had something that smelled like home. I think Amanda was very wise to make this request as I'm sure it helped Shelby feel more calm and restful during her stay. It just shows that Amanda knows a lot about dogs and their needs and behaviors and that Shelby was in good hands. I feel I was lucky to find her as she graciously accepted our request when her friend was unable to.

Amanda and her husband and Hazel-took fantastic care of our 4 mos old frenchie puppy. It was his first time away since we brought him home. He had a great time and we can’t wait to book again!!

This was my first experience with Rover, and Amanda was great. We had a meet and greet to make sure our dogs were compatible. She had a detailed information sheet so that she would have all of the details about the care of our dog. She provided periodic updates during the week. When we picked up our dog, she seemed happy and well cared for. I would definitely use Amanda again.

I am HIGHLY experienced with A LOT of health issues associated with bull dogs specifically french bulldogs. I am comfortable with giving any meds or drops.

A typical day

We can walk around the lake and in the woods on walking paths. Also a couple steps from my door is a dog park. I am also very active and I can also take your dog on a run if you want!
