Providing quality care for your pet
Pet care experience
I have had pets all my life. In the past, I had 2 golden retrievers, an American Eskimo, as well as a cat, bird, and Guinea pigs. I currently have a 1.5 year old female German Shepard/lab mix that’s about 75lbs. I also have 4 cats, 3 around 10 years old and 1 that’s 8 with neurological issues. During college I worked for a company called Sandy Paws providing dog walking services daily for pet owners. I have been around all sizes and breeds of dogs and have no issues with any size or breed! I currently have a pretty flexible schedule. I currently work from home 50% of the time so I can accommodate pets in my home on the days I’m home. I can also have a flexible schedule during the week depending on the service. I genuinely enjoyed my time as a dog walker for Sandy Paws and would love to continue caring for dogs (and other pets) during my free time!

I have a fenced in yard and a dog that loves to play with other dogs. I do have cats so your pet needs to be cat friendly. I have experience with respecting my clients homes and privacy while providing excellent care to their pet.

Information Amanda H. would like to know about your pet
Any fears the dog has, things they should stay away from, any aggression issues the dog has, the types of foods they can and cannot have, and anything else you feel it’s important I know to provide the best care to your pet. I also request your dog be fully vaccinated. *Disclaimer for boarding and daycare* Because I am hosting the pet in my home, in the event I need to run out for an errand the dog needs to be okay with being alone for some period of time without a human present. Also, as a result of previous experiences, I kindly request that you be as forthcoming as possible about any issues or behaviors your dog may have such as severe separation anxiety (by this I mean constant crying and barking when alone, causing destruction if left alone, getting into things when alone, etc), jumping on counters, destruction, etc. If these are not discussed with me prior to booking and the dog exhibits these behaviors I will have to charge an additional fee.
A typical day
If I am providing day care or boarding, I will play with your pet, allow them the space of a fenced in yard to run around freely and provide lots of love and affection! I can also provide walks. Unlike traditional boarding facilities, your dog will be free most of the time and able to run outside, play with my dog, hang out on the couch or wherever they prefer. If you don’t have a bed for them to bring, I can also provide a bed for them. The dog will never be crated during the day or night unless that is a preference of the dog to sleep well at night or be safe if alone (my dog loves her crate!). My goal is to provide a happy, loving and safe environment for your dog while you’re away and give you peace of mind!
