Pet care experience

I strive for happy + healthy pets!

* Ask about my drop-in & day rates Thank you for being here! My name’s Amanda, 30 years old, passionate & professional pet sitter born and raised right here in Maine. Caring for animals is one of life’s greatest joys, so I do it full-time! I have a 3 year old, 20 lbs. mixed breed pup named Wally. He loves making new friends, zooming, adventuring, and just relaxing, and comes with me when possible. He is neutered and fully vaccinated. I am attentive, gentle, communicative, and responsible. You’ll never wonder if your pets are in good hands as long as they’re with me. My experience includes pets with anxiety, high energy puppies, senior care, and administering oral medication. I've been told I have a nurturing spirit animals are drawn to. They’re such important parts of our family units, and understanding and appreciating them comes naturally to me. It’s my top priority to be an excellent source of stability and comfort for them while their humans are away. I’ll send plenty of picture and video updates to ensure your peace of mind as well. Please reach out with any questions or requests. Thank you for reading and talk soon! Amanda & Wally

Amanda was wonderful! She and Zoe connected right away, which made me feel completely at ease. Amanda even came by a week before the visit to get to know Zoe, ask questions, and gather all the information she needed. During the visit, she kept me updated and sent photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I couldn't be happier with the care she provided, and I would absolutely love to have Amanda help us again in the future. This is such a wonderful service, and I'm so grateful for the experience!

We had such a wonderful experience with Amanda. Leaving a small puppy and other dog (both Basenjis) in someone else’s care can be nerve-racking, but Amanda made the entire process feel effortless and reassuring. From the start, it was clear she truly understands dogs and their personalities — especially a breed like a Basenji, which isn’t always the easiest! She was incredibly attentive, patient with our puppy, and thoughtful about making sure both dogs felt comfortable and cared for. We received regular updates and so many amazing photos, which made it clear our dogs were happy, relaxed, and getting plenty of attention. When we returned home, both dogs were calm, content, and clearly well cared for. It gave a lot of peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We would absolutely trust them again with Amanda. We will absolutely have her back again, I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and genuinely great pet sitter.

Amanda was great! Our dog was happy upon meeting her and then super excited to see her when she came back to walk him. He can be a difficult dog to walk, lunging for sidewalk “scraps” or even at other dogs. She was in-tune with his emotions/behaviors, very capable. We would not hesitate to request to book Amanda again!
