Availability
Right now, I can take on drop-ins and walks throughout the day at any time. I can handle boarding at my place as long as your dog is good with other dogs, okay in a duplex setting, and good on walks. I have a fenced backyard to let them out to go potty and play, but will also take them on walks. I only accept one dog at a time since I have a dog of my own. My dog is reactive so we will have to meet to make sure they do okay together for boarding stays. I currently work full time 7:30-4:30 M-F but work remotely so have a flexible schedule. Let me know what you’re needing and I can see if it’ll work in my schedule.

Safety, trust & environment
I will handle your pets with love and care. When I'm with them, I will give them all of my attention whether that be playing with toys, going on walks, giving them all the pets and belly rubs, or just making sure they eat and go potty. I do have a dog of my own so if you are booking a house sitting service, I will have to do some back and forth to take care of my dog as well or I can bring her along if your pets are good with other dogs. I can generally give potty breaks every 2-4 hours during the work week with my WFH schedule.

Pets
Love both dogs and cats!
Pet care experience
I grew up with several cats and dogs as pets. At one point my parents had three dogs and a cat so I'm definitely used to taking care of several animals at a time. I now have a dog of my own that I absolutely love. I enjoy taking her on walks, chasing her around and playing tug with her. I have done Rover pet sitting for about 5 years now and I will treat your pets like family and care for them as if they were my own.
Reviews
Amanda did a great job giving my and her dog time to get use to each other. It was a little rocky at first meet but they showed promise. She did great making sure they had the space they needed until they warmed up. By the end of our trip they were comfortable relaxing with each other and even played some tug together. Her pictures were also great and were a nice treat every morning (time zone difference) for us. A meet and greet and maybe and maybe a night to test the waters would be recommended but she does a great job managing the energy of the pack.
This was my first time using Rover and I’m so impressed. Amanda was wonderful. She was prompt and easy to communicate with. She sent the sweetest photo updates after each visit. Pippa looked so happy like she didn’t even miss us! Will definitely book with her again.
Amanda always takes great care of our dog! I appreciate that she gives him love and attention, and always plays with him to get some of his energy out.
Amanda is absolutely the best! First off, my dogs love her and I felt so comfortable with her. Very trustworthy and responsive. She sent us pictures and a very detailed summary of her visit. We love Amanda and would recommend her anytime!
