Availability

I am a teacher, which means that sometimes I am home during the week, and other times, I am not. Pets boarding with me during the school year 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 beds, 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.

A typical day

Dogs staying with me will enjoy cuddles, yard play, and all the comforts of home. They will have access to lots of toys, treats, chews, puzzles, lick mats, and friends.

Amanda is the best! She has always been incredibly kind, reliable, and willing to help whenever any unexpected situation comes up. She’s the first person to be flexible and accommodate us, which gives us so much peace of mind. She takes amazing care of our dogs and always keeps us updated on absolutely everything, so we never have to worry while we’re away. We recommend her 100% to anyone looking for a caring dog sitter!

Amanda was absolutely wonderful with our one-year-old pup, Lalo! We needed a sitter for a last-minute weekend getaway, and she was incredibly accommodating and responsive from the very beginning. Lalo is a rescue dog with very limited experience around other adults, so leaving him with someone new was a big step for us. Amanda was patient, understanding, and took great care to help him feel comfortable. One of our favorite parts of his stay was that he had the opportunity to enjoy supervised playtime with other dogs, which was such a positive social experience for him. Amanda also kept us updated throughout the weekend by sending pictures and progress updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Lalo was in caring, capable hands. We're so grateful for the love and attention Amanda gave Lalo, and we look forward to booking with her again in the future. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!
