Information Amanda J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any special diets, medications, preferences your dog has. I have cared for dogs that are simple to high maintenance. I just want your dog to feel comfortable and relaxed during their stay.

A typical day

We have a basket in our home over flowing with toys. We also have toys outside. If you would like your dog walked during their stay we can do that too!

Pet care experience

I have had dogs and/or cats my whole life. I love all animals and enjoy spending time with them. You will fine me at a party with the pets instead of socializing! I currently pet sit for my friends and would like to offer my services to others as well! I am a Social Worker and currently only work on Tuesdays. I spend the remainder of the days with our 3 kids. Our kids are ages 8, 12, and 13 and are animal lovers as well. I have a fenced in yard that your dog will be able to roam and go outside as they please. We have 3 small dogs. Two are pretty lazy and the other loves to play!

Amanda went above and beyond in taking care of Winnie! She was very communicative and sent such great pictures, videos, and feedback!

Everything went well with us and our dog Honey. We received regular updates as promised, and the pictures showed our happy friend well cared for. Videos showed she was having fun with other dogs—which has improved Honey’s behavior when we encounter other dogs on our nightly walk. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Amanda again.

I was nervous finding the right spot for our dog. He is a senior dog that is blind and deaf. Amanda kindly welcomed into her home. She sent regular pictures and communication. He looked like he was enjoying being with her and all the other dogs. Definitely a wonderful home and caretaker!
