Amanda is fantastic. She bonds easily with Bailey and keeps him very active during her visits. I would highly recommend her for your dog.

Amanda is so kind and gentle, it reflects in how she treats animals. My German Shepherd Scout adores her and acclimated to her home in less than an hour. For those who know GSDs, you know that doesn’t always happen easily. I trust my dog with NO ONE but Amanda. Not only is she an honest, respectful and safe but she has large breed experience as well as small, which makes me feel at ease.

Amanda has looked after my pets, and I can't recommend her enough! She's got this loving touch with animals and always knows just what they need. When she's in charge, I know my pets are safe and happy. And it's not just the furry friends she's great with; Amanda's super easy to talk to and keeps me updated, so I never have to worry. She's punctual, flexible, and just an all-around awesome person. If you need someone to look after your pets, she's your go-to!

A typical day

Every dog is unique, and I adjust our activities to cater to their individual preferences and energy levels. My ultimate goal is to provide a joy-filled and memorable experience for every dog I watch, ensuring they are happy and content during their time with me. A typical day with the dogs I watch begins with enthusiasm and excitement! As a devoted dog sitter and walker, I strive to create a fulfilling and enjoyable experience for our furry companions. I start the day by providing breakfast for the dogs, following any specific dietary instructions provided by the owners. After a short break to allow them to digest, we head out for our morning walk in the serene surroundings of my quiet neighborhood. Back home, it's time for some play and interaction. Each dog has its own favorite toys, and I ensure they have plenty of time to engage in fun activities, such as fetch, tug-of-war, or hide-and-seek. After all the morning activities, the dogs may need a short rest. I provide a comfortable and cozy space for them to unwind and take a nap if they wish. Nestled just a stone's throw away from my home, Goffle Brook Park is a doggy paradise that the dogs I watch absolutely adore! With Goffle Brook Park right in our backyard, I am thrilled to offer the dogs I watch the opportunity to explore this fantastic outdoor space regularly. Whether we are taking leisurely strolls along the walking trails or enjoying some off-leash play in the dog park, the park's amenities and beautiful surroundings make every visit an unforgettable experience for both the dogs and me. As the day winds down, I serve dinner to the dogs, following the owner's instructions carefully. Afterward, we enjoy a peaceful evening walk, allowing the dogs to burn off any remaining energy before bedtime. I believe in the power of love and affection, so there's always time for cuddles, belly rubs, and one-on-one attention with each dog. Building a strong bond is essential to make them feel comfortable and secure during their stay. As bedtime approaches, I ensure the dogs have a relaxing atmosphere for a good night's sleep. Each dog has their designated sleeping area, whether it's a cozy crate or a soft dog bed. Throughout the day, I maintain open communication with the pet owners, providing them with updates and pictures of their furry friends, so they know they're in excellent hands.
