River access for good doggies!

Pet care experience

Honestly, I've never pet-sat professionally (at what point should I update this? What is the criteria?). I've always had animals and have always been the one friends/family call when they need a sitter. I have a half wrap porch with two steps to an enclosed grassy side yard. I also go almost daily to the Women's Museum Park to walk my dog where she has access to the river. 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 work from home and dog-sit full time. 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

Our dog was definitely well pampered during his stay with Amanda and her family! She was great at sending photos. I really felt like he was apart of her family and treated with love the entire time he stayed with her. Thanks so much and we'll definitely be back!

Amanda was more than welcoming and accommodating for our hyper pup! Her communication perfect. Knowing Bailey was safe, and well taken care of out our mind at ease. Definitely recommend- and will absolutely have Bailey stay over again :)
