Your Animal Deserves the Best

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs as a part of my life for over 20 years and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I currently share my home with two Shetland Sheepdogs, so I understand the importance of consistent routines, daily exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection. From energetic playtime and long walks to calm companionship and attentive care, I treat every dog as if they were my own. You can feel confident knowing your pup will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

Theodore always has a great time with Amanda and her family. She's also very flexible and communicative with pickup and dropoff times, which we appreciate!

Amanda and her family took great care of Kash! It was his first time at their house and he felt comfortable so quickly. We appreciated her updates and pictures, as well as her responsiveness and care. We will definitely be contacting her soon for our upcoming summer travel knowing Kash will be in good hands.
