Information Amanda J. would like to know about your pet

Your dogs daily routine and any special quirks they have. My one dog would only eat when no one was watching. My husky stands at the top of the stairs until his leash is on, then he will walk down. Silly things like that

A typical day

There is a lot of trails in the Palos area. We love to get out in nature and enjoy the sunshine!

Pet care experience

I love animals of all kinds. Your pet will be treated like one of the family! I have a 14 yr old Husky and a 1 year old Chow Chow that love other dogs but if yours is a little shy that's ok. I have a whole upstairs my guys can go hang out in when they need a break. If your pet prefers no contact at all with other animals, mine have no problem staying upstairs watching tv with my husband. We have a great yard and are very close to a few trails. I have a pair of Parrotlets and a Parakeet that live on top of the fridge so they are safe up high! I have experience with large birds as well. I had a fun Cockatoo that passed away a few years ago. I never want to live with one again, those guys are too noisy for me! I worked at a pet store for 5 years and cared for many different exotic pets. I have quite a few beehives and could spend hours talking about how important they are to our world. We have chickens that give us eggs daily and amuse us constantly! If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Amanda was absolutely amazing! My parent’s dogs loved her and my parents loved all of the check-ins and updates provided. They are incredibly happy to have a trusted sitter for their next vacation. We can’t thank her enough!
