Highlights
Pet care experience
Fenced in yard, WFH part time
I live in the heart of Richmond (the museum district) and have access to a safe neighborhood for walks. I have rescued two dogs Izzy & Sadie (we lost Izzy from congestive heart failure in 2022 & Sadie from renal failure in 2023 ) & they were my life & joy. Izzy had a broken leg that was infected when rescued, I took care of her, sometimes taking many trips to the vet during the week for medicine & together my vet & I healed her back to health. Sadie was a rescue dog who I fostered first for roughly a year in DC (when moving to Richmond I decided to adopt her because she had separation anxiety who had already attached herself with me). Because I had senior dogs living out their glory days I specialize in caring for dogs in their later years. Izzy & Sadie acted like pups sometimes but for the most part they liked to sleep between walks/dog park. My two dogs were my children & would take care of any dog like they were my own. My availability is rather flexible but would love at least 24 hours notice for any adjustments needed to agreed times & always require a meet & greet before booking so you feel comfortable where your pup will be staying as I try to be flexible, however last min plans generally are not comfortable for me as I do plan my week out & walk & care for dogs outside of my home so I try to be fair to all my clients so I ask for consideration if your plans change. I look forward to working with you & your dog(s). [Unfortunately at this time I can’t care for puppies in my house or dogs not house trained or use potty pads unless It's an established senior client, & NO un-neutered male dogs]

Ratings and reviews
Super grateful to Amanda and her husband. Their home has become our 2 pups’ daily respite while our house is under construction. Our boys are well taken care of, get to socialize with other small pups, and receive a walk or two during the day. Thank you Amanda!


Amanda was the perfect sitter for our high maintenance angel! Sent lots of photo updates and took great care of Willie! Thank you so much!!

We are very appreciative of Amanda and her husband for taking great care of our boys! Amanda is very communicative, caring and flexible which has been critical for our dog care needs. Can’t wait for our pups’ next stay!


Had an amazing experience with Amanda. Would 100% book again! My pup was in great hands

Amanda was great with our little old pup. She stayed on top of his meds even when he was stubborn, and sent regular updates. He seemed right at home and I was glad he had a friendly lap to cuddle in while we were away!

Amanda was able to take Annie on short notice. She was great at communicating and sending pictures. Annie had a great stay!

Schedule
I have been working from home exclusively part time the last several years as a consultant to a family business so I'll have plenty of time to play & spend time with all the pups that being said I do leave the house for an hour or two pending outside commitments so please don’t expect me to be home 24/7 (my husband also works FT from home so there is a good chance mostly someone is here)

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced in yard & We have a flexible walk schedule in the cooler months but in the hot summer months do morning or late evening walks. In addition, I have several repeat clients I watch weekly to help show your dog(s) around the house & yard.

A typical day
I live in the museum district, love walking around the neighborhood and occasionally stopping for ice cream with the pups at North End Juice Co.
