Pet care experience

Hello! I have been pet sitting professionally full-time for 6 years. I have fewer repeat customers shown on my Rover profile than some people here because clients usually choose to stop using Rover to save money and work independently with me. I work remotely and am pretty much always home; gardening and hanging with dogs ❤️. I have a half wrap porch with two steps to an enclosed grassy yard. I also go almost daily to the Women's Museum Park to walk my dog (and maybe yours too) where they have access to the river (if you approve, of course). Animals are family and will get copious amounts of doting attention. If they want to play with my dog, she is game! If they don't get along with other dogs there is plenty of separation options as well. I'm also perfectly content to come to you and sit your animals in their home environment. Through the years I've handled all sorts of "animal emergencies" with calm and collected care. I've loved a dog from her puppy days through her geriatric years with unending tenderness and welcome you to entrust your puppy-older dog to my care. Any special needs are no problem. I have administered injected medications. I have given pills successfully and regularly to a Houdini of a dog! If he/she needs it he/she will receive it. I am available evenings, weekends and holidays as well. I often take dogs from multiple households, but you can request no other dogs during your dog's stay. I have a grassy fenced side yard and a half wrap around sunning deck. I do not leave dogs unattended outside, but for the most part they can go in and out all day.

Amanda is so sweet and thoughtful. Her dog Cleo is a cutie pie and did very well with our Golden Retriever during overnight boarding. Great communication. Hope to use her services again in the future. Recommend highly!

Amanda was great with our two Standard Poodles for a week-long visit. Highly recommend.
