From dog owner to dog sitter
Pet care experience
With 17 years of dedicated experience in dog care, I am the proud owner of three canine companions – one over 14 years old and two between 1-2 years old. Specializing in comprehensive care for senior dogs, I prioritize their well-being, and I am equally adept at managing the exuberance of high-energy dogs. Ensuring a hygienic and comfortable environment is a commitment I extend to all dogs in my care, with particular attention to the unique needs of senior dogs, including accidents, diaper changes, and puppy pad adjustments. My comfort level extends to administering medications, accommodating special diets, handling leash-pulling, and caring for larger breeds. I possess valuable knowledge in addressing the specific requirements of elderly dogs, demonstrating proficiency in managing issues like accidents, diaper usage, and the regular changing of puppy pads. I derive immense joy from engaging dogs in activities that balance their mood and energy levels, whether it's long walks, runs, or interactive play. When entrusted with a dog's care, I treat them as if they were my own, prioritizing their comfort, health, and happiness. Confident in my ability to discern any signs of discomfort or distress, I am vigilant as a pet owner and can readily identify when a dog requires assistance. I am fully adaptable and committed to following any special requests or specific needs for the pups under my care. While I may be new to professional dog sitting, my enthusiasm and passion for dogs make me eager to embark on this exciting journey. Rest assured, your furry companions will be in caring and capable hands under my watch.
Reviews
Amanda has watched my cat for me before on multiple occasions when I’ve had to go out of town, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she has provided to my pet. She always makes sure that not only are my cat’s basics needs met, but that my cat receives plenty of attention and affection. She has a very obvious and genuine love for animals. I felt really at ease during my trips knowing that I had someone so attentive and thorough watching my pet, and my home has always been in perfect condition when I returned. Thank you for your amazing care, Amanda!
Amanda is the perfect person to care for your dog! She has a profound love for each and every pupper out there. Many times before I have trusted her to dog sit my own dog! She took excellent care of him and when it was time to go home he was always sad to leave. Amanda also has two dogs of her own which are both loving, happy, and healthy pups! I know she will treat your dog as if it were her own.

Information Amanda B. would like to know about your pet
Knowing key details about pets in advance, including any aggressive tendencies or special needs, is crucial for tailored and safe care. Understanding specific requirements enables me to provide appropriate supervision, implement necessary precautions, and maintain a consistent routine. Additionally, I prefer to meet with clients and their pets before booking to establish a connection, understand individual preferences, and address any concerns, fostering a positive and personalized experience for both pets and owners.
A typical day
! When entrusted with the care of your pets, I prioritize engaging and enjoyable activities to ensure they have a great time. Depending on their preferences and energy levels, some fun activities may include: Outdoor Adventures: I love taking dogs for exciting walks, hikes, or even runs, tailoring the intensity to match their energy levels. Playtime in the Backyard: Utilizing the fenced-in backyard, we can have spirited play sessions with toys, games of fetch, or simply enjoying some supervised free time. Enrichment Games: Mental stimulation is crucial, so I incorporate puzzle toys, treat-dispensing games, and other enrichment activities to keep their minds sharp and entertained. Socialization: For dogs that enjoy the company of others, supervised playdates can be arranged to encourage socialization and positive interactions. Cuddles and Bonding: Some pets simply love a good cuddle or quality one-on-one time. I'm more than happy to provide the attention and affection they crave. Training Sessions: If your pet enjoys learning new tricks or commands, we can engage in positive reinforcement training sessions, making it both mentally stimulating and rewarding. Relaxation Time: For senior dogs or those who prefer a more relaxed pace, we can have calm moments, whether it's a gentle walk, soothing music, or simply lounging together. Special Treats: I might spoil them with special treats, provided they are within their dietary guidelines, as a way to make their time with me extra enjoyable. I am attentive to each pet's individual needs and preferences, ensuring a customized and fun experience tailored to their unique personalities. Your pets will receive the care, love, and attention they deserve during their stay with me!
