Pet care experience
Hamptons Local Dog Lover
I’ve loved dogs my whole life — I grew up with them and raised my own Chihuahua mix from a tiny puppy. Through her I got real, hands-on experience with crate training, leash walking, and basic commands, with a lot of professional training along the way. I’m great with puppies and happy to handle pills or meds if your dog needs them. What matters most to me is that every dog and family is different. Whatever routine and commands keep your dog feeling safe and loved, I’ll learn them and stick to them so your pup stays on their normal rhythm while you’re away. A few things that make me an easy guest in your home: I’m quiet, I don’t drink or smoke, and I don’t have pets or children of my own — so my full attention is on your dog and your space. I work remotely, so I’m flexibly available and your dog is rarely left alone. And as a Hamptons local, I understand the care families here expect for their pets and their homes.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Since I’d be staying in your home, my focus is on two things: keeping your dog’s routine exactly as it should be, and treating your space with real respect. I’m extraordinarily committed to keeping your dog’s environment and schedule consistent — same routine, same rhythm, so they feel secure even while you’re away. And I see staying in someone’s home as a privilege. I’ll follow any house instructions you provide, and I’ll leave your home clean and just as I found it, if not better. I also know how nerve-wracking it can be to be away from your baby. When I had my own dog, I remember how much a quick photo and update meant to me — so I’ll keep you in the loop with regular updates so you can relax knowing your dog and your home are in good hands. Whatever you need to feel comfortable, I want to provide it.
Ratings and reviews
Amanda is responsive, responsible, and available anytime I need her to watch my dogs. She has a flexible schedule, and the fact that she works remotely is great—my dogs are never home alone. I appreciate that she’s comfortable with crate training, because that’s what makes my dogs feel safe. She takes great care of everything, and I always have peace of mind when she’s in my home with my dogs
Amanda is the Chihuahua whisperer! My dog Muffin doesn’t usually warm up to many people, but Amanda knew to go slow with him and really helped him get comfortable. I appreciated that she did frequent, shorter walks—exactly what Muffin needed. The fact that she’s local to the Hamptons is a huge plus. Amanda is professional, quiet, and clean, and a real joy to have in my home. I know she’ll take great care of both my dog and my house
Amanda watched my miniature poodle for a week, and it was a wonderful experience. She sent pictures every day, and my dog was clearly happy and thriving. She took him on long walks and kept my house beautifully clean. Amanda is responsible, communicative, and trustworthy—I would absolutely hire her again

Schedule
Because I work remotely with a flexible schedule, I build my day entirely around your dog. If your pup needs a walk every couple of hours, I can do that. If they’re happy with fewer, that works too. I love a good long walk, so if your dog does as well, we’ll have a great time — and if that’s not their thing, no problem at all. I’m also happy to do plenty of play and fetch in the backyard. Whatever level of activity your dog needs, I can provide it. I structure the day around their routine: when they eat, when they need breaks, when they want downtime. I’m mostly home, so your dog won’t be left alone for long. I do like to slip out for a yoga class here and there, but I’m always happy to talk through timing so it fits with what you and your dog are comfortable with.
