Forget winter; Quality care is here

Pet care experience

****PLEASE NOTE: Through the Coronavirus health crisis I am limiting my services to providing walks. I recently worked with frontline healthcare workers to provide waking services that include a rigorous cleaning/entry/exit procedure that would be implemented during the time of your services. Thank you in advance for understanding the safety requirements required in order for me to safely provide care and keeping all parties safe at this time**** I am a dog walker and pet/house sitter with a passion for pet care and over 20 years of experience. Whether it was caring for my own or engaging with others' pets, I have frequently been told that my intuition for animal needs is uncanny -- animals just make sense to me! I am pursuing a career in wildlife conservation research in order to better understand and care for all animals. While my career choice does not focus on domestic animals, I believe pets are a special member of the family and enjoy providing them the specialized care they deserve. I started pet sitting as a teenager to provide quality care and ease of mind to my neighbors when they had to travel. I've most frequently cared for high energy labradors, but have also cared for puppies to older dogs of various size and energy levels. From Chihuahuas to Newfoundlands, I have a wide range of experience! Once I have learned your pet's preferences, I can guarantee they will have an enjoyable experience with me. House Sitting Services: I work with owners to provide a schedule similar to what their pet receives on a daily basis and stay in the home overnight. Due to my schedule, my house sitting services are not 24 hour in-home care. I can guarantee that your pet will receive a walk/potty break every 4 - 8 hours and will not go more than 8 hours without a visit during the day. Please note that house sitting prices will be discussed at Meet & Greet if I feel adjustments need to be made based on length of the booking and any additional home/pet care needs. Additional home stay services can include watering plants and additional pet care -- from saltwater fish to parrots, I've cared for them all! I hope you will reach out to learn more about the services I can provide you. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.

Amanda was awesome. She took down detailed information and stayed in close communication the whole time I was away. She left my place tidy which I truly appreciated. Would give her 6 stars if I could!

I cannot imagine a better pet sitter! Amanda stayed with our animals for almost a month. Every neighbor we have has told us how great she was with our animals. When we got home, our house was clean and our animals were happy and seemed so well taken care of. Amanda sent numerous videos and photos during our trip, asked many responsible questions before hand, and was great in our neighborhood. We will book with her whenever possible and highly, highly recommend!

Information Amanda D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know your dog's temperament with new people and their level of socialization with other dogs, animals, and children for when we encounter others on walks. Additional items to note are any objects/people/situations that cause stress or aggressive behavior. I will also need to know the training words you use with your dog and their favorite activities so I can ensure they have the most enjoyable time while in my care.

A typical day

Happy to take dogs out as they explore their neighborhood. I have experience with high energy dogs, so I am able to keep up with the speedy guys or go for a stroll with those who are more laid back about life. I'm very engaged with doggy play time and can keep up with whatever level of energy your dog has.
