Pet care experience
I've been around animals my entire life. I began volunteering at humane societies when I was around 12 years old. I am medically trained and good in an emergency. I've yet to meet a pet I don't love. I have experience with both cats and dogs and promise to care for yours as if they were my own. BOARDING/DAYCARE INFO When your pet spends time in my home, they are treated like one of my own. They will have free roam of the house (will be kenneled/separated if I need to leave for a bit) and will get plenty of play time and cuddles. You need only supply your pet's food and any medications (and litter/litter pan for cats). I have almost everything else they should need, but feel free to send their favorite bed, blanket, toys, treats, etc. to help them feel more at home. The app automatically charges a 50% extended-care rate when the pick-up time is more than 2 hours past the 24 hour mark from drop-off time. I will remove this charge for anything less than 8 hours extended. 8-12 hours will be a 50% rate, and more than 12 hours will be a full night's rate. Kindly remind me if I forget. Meet and greets not always required, but are encouraged, and will be held at my house. HOUSE SITTING INFO Rate includes me being at your residence to care for pets overnight from 5pm to 8am. You can also book drop-in visits during the day in addition to the overnight sit as needed. Times are negotiable. Meet and greet will be required at your residence. DROP-IN INFO Rate includes me driving to your house and spending up to 30 minutes caring for pets (pottying, feeding, watering, administering meds, etc.) Meet and greet required at your residence. DOG WALKING INFO Rate includes me coming to your house and walking your dog(s) in your neighborhood for 30 minutes. Meet and greet required at your residence if I will be arriving for the first walk when you're not at home.
Reviews
Amazing. Gracious and very knowledgeable on dogs
Amanda does a great and caring job taking care of Charlie! Very prompt on messaging. Highly reccomend!
Amanda did an awesome job! We got live updates everyday. I could tell that my dog absolutely loved it there. Will use again for sure.
Amanda takes such good care of our Pretzel and sends the best updates throughout his stay. This time I don’t think he wanted to come back home :) it’s much appreciated and we will be back.

I live on a small acreage just on the outskirts of town. The resident dog gets along well with most other animals and loves to play. I promise to be respectful of your home and property while doing drop-ins or sitting in your home.
Home
Information Amanda H. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or preferences. I am experienced in caring for many different issues and am willing to give medications and injections if needed at no extra charge. I like to do everything I can to make your pet feel more at home and you more at ease, so feel free to ask any questions and let me know what I can do!
A typical day
I like to use puzzle toys and mental simulation, along with physical exercise, to tire out those with excessive energy. I am patient and willing to let the fur babies lead the interaction. I like to send updates throughout your pet's visit, so expect some cute pictures/videos :)

I work three over night shifts a week at a hospital and am home the rest of the time to care for pets. My husband works the opposite shift so there's someone home most of the time.
