Amanda is the type of care provider we had dreamed of but never thought a person like her existed. Amanda, her husband and their home were all so warm and welcoming. It is so hard to believe that she could be all things, but she was. She was a caregiver to Henry with his special diet and many pills. She was an amazing communicator to me with photos in the morning and evening. And she was a companion and best friend to Henry, who followed her everywhere! All of this made a trip overseas so much less stressful. Amanda didn’t know I was that far away and on a different time zone. She didn’t know the updates she sent helped me get to sleep each night and made me less homesick. Amanda just was being her great self and sharing the fun photos of my dog in her care. It was exceptional! Amanda even took Henry for special walks just because she could tell he liked them. It was probably freezing outside, but she did it to make him happy. Like I said, Amanda is exceptional! My husband and I have had a dog in our life since the day we got married. They were all big dogs and we often had two at the same time. We kenneled them once or twice for short stays, and it was always so obvious when they returned that boarding them was a bad idea. They’d return home with hoarse voices, so it was obvious they were unhappy and barking for long lengths of time. Because two of our dogs were adopted as adults, we have sadly already experienced the loss of three. It took us a full year after the last loss to even consider bringing another dog into our lives. We had a lot of discussions of the pros and cons. One of the cons was that we had no family nearby who could watch a new dog if we ever traveled. I said there must be someone! The pros outweighed the cons and we adopted Henry even though we had nobody to watch him when we traveled. He came with us everywhere for years and became our family. We must have passed through 18 different states with him and a few provinces in Canada. After seeing Amanda and Henry in photos and in real life, now I want to leave town just so they can hang out again. It is so rare to find even family members who love your dog as you do. With Amanda, it was obvious Henry felt loved. He came home so happy and healthy and normal. I look forward to Henry spending time again with Amanda and her husband!

Best sitter ever. The puppies come home so relaxed and spoiled. You love them as much as we do and that’s what we want for them. Thank you.
