True Animal Lover

I love dogs and have had dogs since I was 5 years old. My parents bred Golden Retrievers while I was growing up and I loved helping take care of them and watching them grow. I currently live in Joliet and work in Naperville so any location between these two areas would be ideal as I could care for your pets in your home before I leave for work, possibly during the day (if in the right location) and for the remainder of the evening until the following morning. I am extremely trustworthy and have a wonderful career as a paralegal. I will play with your pets and even let them sleep with me on the bed (if the owners are ok with it). I have cared for my friends and families pets when they travel out of town and prefer keeping pets in their own home while their owners are away so they feel more comfortable. I currently do not have any animals but will love your animals like they are my own.

Amanda was great with our 2 dogs and cat. They absolutely loved her! She did a fantastic job making them comfortable. The house was cleaner than we left it. I will definitely use her again!

Amanda was extremely patient with our rescue pup. She kept us informed throughout the process as our pup worked out her anxiety with the new situation of having someone come to the house and take care of her .

Amanda was wonderful! Prior to her pet sitting, she reached out to schedule time to meet our pups. We have a shelter dog that is very nervous and takes a bit to warm up to people, so Amanda was more than willing to stop by a couple times to allow her to get to know Amanda. During her stay at our house, Amanda reached out several times with updates and pictures. She had a few problems with my shelter dog (afraid to come back inside, piddling on the floor) but she worked through them and I was so appreciative of her patience. My pups loved her. I’d have her watch my pups again in a heartbeat (if she was willing). At the end of her stay, she left our home clean, and left a summary, detailed note of her stay. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Amanda was great and super attentive to my needy dogs! She texted me to let me know about how they were doing and constant updates! She even weathered the storm through a power outage at our house! We are so appreciative of her and the love she showed our fur babies! We will definitely use her again in the future!

Amanda was so great with our dog Quiggly. She was always in touch sending photos and letting us know how he was doing. Would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her the next time we need someone to dog sit!

I would love to know if your dog has any specific limitations, do they get along with other dogs, any food or treat preferences or allergies, if they are allowed people food (if so, what?), if they are afraid of storms/fireworks, etc, if they are allowed on furniture/beds and their general daily habits.
