Your Dog Only Canine Companions!
Pet care experience
We do not have a dog so your dog will be the star in our home. My son is 15 and absolutely adores dogs and cats. My son has been around several different types of dogs and is a fantastic canine companion. We have plenty of time and energy to play fetch, walk dogs, brush their fur, take them to the park. Our townhouse is spacious, the dog can sleep in my son's room if they like. We have a small fenced in backyard and also there is a huge area behind our home for walking dogs. We live close to several parks. We would not be a great fit for dogs that have a lot of special medical needs. We would be perfect fit for dogs that are active and also like to cuddle. I work from home about half the day and have flexible hours. As for transportation, ideally your dog would have a crate that would fit in our vehicles or the dog would have a car harness - we are happy to transport your dog if necessary however you are most comfortable with. I have had 3 dogs as pets and several cats over the years.
Reviews
Amanda was great. She was kind to meet us ahead of time and helped answer questions not only about our scheduled service but about how Rover works as well. Feel great about our dog staying with her and her son and will gladly rebook with her in the future
Amanda was super flexiable with my travel schedule. She kept me updated with Blue constantly which put me at ease. Blue really seemed to have a great time with Amanda and her son!
Amanda and her son were a real blessing to us to watch our Golden Retriever while we were on vacation. She left us frequent updates and photos and kept our girl's tail a'waggin while we were gone. Thanks for everything!
Amanda was great! Kept in communication, sending many updates and pics of our pup to us throughout her stay. Kept her busy, bringing her around town, everything we could've asked for. Will definitely go back to Amanda for boarding needs in the future.

Information Amanda D. would like to know about your pet
Before boarding a dog in my home, I would need to know that they were friendly. We'd like to know what their normal routine is, so we know they will feel comfortable here. We do not have any breed preferences. We like all kinds of dogs! I do not plan to keep 2 dogs from 2 different families at one time. I could keep 2 dogs from 1 family. I would prefer that your dog be crate trained for while we are away from the house. However, if you feel confident that the dog is well-behaved and can advise me of any particular issues to look out for, I am flexible. Regarding our cat, he was declawed when we rescued him. He is an extremely friendly tabby. The cat likes to hang out in my bedroom suite 99% of the time when we don't have a dog guest. When a dog comes over, he hangs out in there 99.9% of the time. If your dog does not get along with cats, I can easily keep the cat contained. I do not foresee a problem because he generally will be hiding out anyway.
A typical day
We live close to Bur Mil Park and Battleground Park. There are also several other neighborhood walking paths near us. My son NEVER tires of playing fetch and tug of war with dogs. We really enjoying going on daily walks and being outside when the weather permits.
