Highlights
Pet care experience
Organized and Dependable Pet Lover
I absolutely love all animals, big and small, and have owned a variety of pets ever since I was a little kid. My husband and I have been raising our first puppy, a golden retriever, and she is the sweetest 10 year old now! We also have a cat, Polly, who willingly tolerates our golden but they unfortunately will never be besties. Both of our pets are friendly with other animals, Roux more so than Polly. I have pet sit for multiple families as well as hosted dogs at our home. I have great time management skills and I'm very dependable. I am a person you can trust to leave your dog with and will take care of your pets as if they were my own. I am strict with my own dog's behavior and will expect the same from any visiting animals that we have in our home and am happy to help facilitate basic training. I will take lots of pictures to send to you throughout the day along with updates on how your pup is doing. We have a 4 year old at home that loves animals but can be a little intrusive of personal space and are expecting another addition to the family this fall.

Ratings and reviews
Amanda took such great care of Marley! She was very loving and attentive and kept us updated with pictures throughout the weekend. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We’ll definitely be using Amanda again and would highly recommend her to others!
Great service (again) from Amanda checking in on our kitties! Flexible and friendly. Thanks again Amanda
Amanda helped us out again with short notice. Everything great and we could be away with no worries. Thank you very much, Amanda!
Amanda and her family took amazing care of our dog! She was very thorough in making sure she understood how to best care for our dog and sent great updates while we were gone. I would leave our pup in their care anytime!
Amanda is exceptionally dependable. She helped us at almost the last minute due to an unexpected death in the family. We could handle everything while we were away with no worries as Amanda checked on our 3 kitties.
Amanda took such good care of our dog. She gave updates and sent pictures and I felt very comfortable having Lola stay with her.

Schedule
I work full-time from home currently, which gives me plenty of opportunity to interact with my animals throughout the day. I take Roux on walks around our neighborhood after my workday is done and on the weekends we tend to go on light hikes.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a partially fenced yard and a cable tie out system as well. Our dog does very well off leash and stays in the yard, but I will make sure to keep your dog on a leash or the tie out to keep them safe and supervised. I also will not let the dogs play unsupervised and look for markers of safe play. I expect to have visiting dogs crated if they are unsupervised, for their safety and my pets' as well. I have 2 crates for this purpose, one is an XL and the other a L. Crate time would be no more than 8 hours (overnight).
Pets
A typical day
I'd love to take the dogs on walks or runs through the neighborhood or near by parks. Whatever you feel comfortable with letting your dog do. We also have adequate indoor space for the dogs to play and lots of toys.
