Information Amanda J. would like to know about your pet

Before dog sitting, I like to know about your dog's routine. I want to make them as comfortable as possible while you are away. Since there are other dogs in the home, I also like to know of any behavioral issues, such as resource/food guarding or other behaviors. Also, I want to know of any food allergies or diet restrictions. All pets must be current on their rabies and distemper vaccines. All dogs must be current on their kennel cough (bordetella) vaccine.

A typical day

We like to play with toys in the backyard and sniff around the acreage. I also have some dog puzzles to keep your dog mentally active, if the weather is not cooperating.

Pet care experience

I have grown up with animals my entire life. I have worked at a veterinary clinic and taken care of my own and friends animals. My husband, 4 year old, and I own a ranch style house on 2.5 acres, with a fenced in area, which my dog loves to run around in! We also have free ranging chickens and barn cats. I work from home a few days per week and we are home on the weekends. We have fostered dogs for over 5 years and absolutely love caring for all types of dogs, big and small! I also have experience with senior dogs and dogs recovering from surgery. My big dog has arthritis and joint issues, and my house has mostly carpet and few stairs to accommodate similar issues. I would love to care for your animals! Let me know if you have any questions!

Amanda was so great with our pups! She was always keeping us in the loop with our pups and gave us such a peaceful trip knowing our pups were having such a great time with her and her family! Would definitely use her services again and recommend her to anyone!

Amanda took care of my dog this weekend and she did an amazing job! She has a great set up were my pup had time to be outside, play with her dog, and go crazy looking for the cats. In all my dealings with her, Amanda was kind hearted and responsive. It really put my mind at ease knowing my dog was in great care, and really helped me enjoy my weekend getaway. Thank you so much Amanda!!

Amanda and her family did such an amazing job with my 2 furbabies. I received a bunch of pictures during their stay. They were busy and happy all the time. My babies will return there!!!!!

Amanda did great with our big pups! She sent photos to keep us updated and we appreciated seeing they were having a good time on her acreage. Rover is a great service to leave your animals in a loving home environment when needed. We appreciate Amanda and would use her again.
