Availability

I am a teacher, which means that sometimes I am home during the week, and other times, I am not. I'll be home full time on the following dates: September 1 September 12 October 10-14 November 21-28 December 22-January 2 January 19 February 13-16 March 13-20 April 3-6 May 1 Pets boarding with me outside of those dates will be home alone during the workday. I am always home on the weekends. I have a "dog room" in my house (it's just a smaller living room area about the size of a small bedroom that is open to the main living room separated by a dog gate) that is a cozy room where my dogs hang out with their own couch, air conditioning, water, toys, and view of the back yard while I am gone. They can be loose in the room or crated depending on owner preference or pet needs. When I am home, the dogs are free in the house with the family.

Safety, trust & environment

Dogs are part of the family here. They have full access to beds and furniture, and while I am home, they have free run of the house. I have a fully and securely fenced yard for your dogs to enjoy, and I have three dogs of my own to keep them company if they enjoy playing with furry friends. In addition to a special "dog room" in my house where dogs can hang out during the day, I am also able to crate or keep separate any dog who would not enjoy the company of other dogs. No matter where your dog is in my house or yard, they will be fully visible to me on my doggy cams, so I can always keep an eye on them.

Information Amanda A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs so that I can prepare ahead of time. I can accommodate most things as long as I know and can be ready to meet their needs! Things that are helpful for me to know: 1. Does your dog use a crate? 2. Where does your dog sleep?

A typical day

I can entertain your dog in a number of ways. I can provide daily walks, games of fetch, tug, yard play, puzzles, chews, and more! Just let me know what your dog likes, and I can make it happen!

I also have experience with basic command training, house training, and crate training.

Blown away by the care given! It was our first time leaving our puppy and we were on a cruise with limited service. The care, updates and love given were incredible, so grateful for Amanda! We will be booking only her moving forward!
