Dog & Cat Lovers

Hi! I absolutely love animals and have plenty of experience with sitting😊 My partner and I are a couple visiting our family for the holidays after moving abroad, and we thought pet sitting would be a great way to earn some extra money (while we also pay for our own pet sitting back home)! We have two cats and a dog and would love to look over your animals as our own. We would probably leave for a few hours at a time to visit our family and do activities, but we would never be gone for longer than we would leave our own pets. If you think we would be a good fit, please don't hesitate to message!

Safety, trust & environment

I’ll send pictures or videos and keep you as updated as possible with your pup. I understand what it’s like being away from your dog and having to rely on a stranger so I’d like to make it a comfortable and safe experience.

We were so happy to work with Amanda. She was a great communicator while we were away; sending us photos and videos. Barnaby was perfectly content when we got home. Would definitely use her services again. Thank you, Amanda!

Preparing for a trip away can be stressful. I was struggling to find someone I could really trust be in our home to take care of our pets. The minute I met Amanda she put me at ease. The animals loved her. She communicated with photos and video during our stay away and you could count on her to be available at anytime. She knew more about my pets breeds than I did. Highly recommend.

Just the best! Took care of our cat for a long weekend. Was so helpful and went above and beyond. Theo seemed to love her! Highly recommend anyone to reach out to Amanda

Amanda has pet sat for my Dachshund and my Parson Russell Terrier and she has been nothing but kind and considerate to them considering both are quite stubborn! She has a way with animals that really shows how much she cares because you can tell that she tries to connect with them and work with them as if they were family and not just going through the motions like some of my other past pet sitters. I cannot recommend her enough!
