Reliable, loving and trustworthy

Pet care experience

Before you read ahead to get to know me or even hit the “book” button here are a few things I require before I will even discuss a booking with you: *YOU MUST HAVE AN UPDATED PROFILE. *MAKE SURE YOUR ADDRESS IS CURRENT. IF I ARRIVE TO OUR MEET AND GREET JUST TO BE TOLD YOU DO NOT LIVE AT THE ADDRESS LISTED ON YOUR PROFILE, I WILL CANCEL YOUR BOOKING IMMEDIATELY. I HATE HAVING MY TIME AND GAS WASTED. THE MEET AND GREETS I BOOK WITH YOU I PLAN INTO MY DAYS AND EVENINGS AROUND MY TIGHT SCHEDULE I ALREADY HAVE WITH ROVER AND MY FAMILY. *PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO ADD A PHOTO OF EACH ONE OF YOUR PETS I WILL BE CARING FOR. *YOU MUST HAVE A VETERINARIAN LISTED IN YOUR PROFILE! I WANT ESTABLISHMENT’S NAME, ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER. IF YOU DON’T HAVE ONE, BE A RESPONSIBLE PET OWNER AND GET ONE!! YOU NOR I KNOW WHEN AN EMERGENCY WILL HAPPEN. *YOU MUST HAVE A PROFILE FILLED OUT FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOUR PETS! YOU WILL PAY FOR SERVICES PER PET. LATELY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FILLING ONLY ONE PROFILE OUT, BUT LISTING MULTIPLE PETS AS ONE BIG NAME AND EXPECTING ME TO ONLY BE PAID FOR ONE PET WHEN THERE ARE MULTIPLE. I WILL IMMEDIATELY CANCEL YOUR BOOKING IF I SHOW UP AND FIND THIS SITUATION IN FRONT OF ME. YOU COULD BE ACROSS THE WORLD ON VACATION AND THINK I WILL LET IT SLIDE. I WILL NOT! IF YOU FIND MY PRICES TO BE UNFAIR PLEASE FIND SOMEONE CHEAPER. I HAVE HEARD THE HORROR STORIES FROM CLIENTS WHO HAVE USED SOMEONE ELSE BEFORE ME BECAUSE THEY WERE CHEAPER. *DO NOT EXPECT ME TO WALK INTO YOUR HOME AND CLEAN UP PILES OF POOP AND PEE BECAUSE YOU CHOSE TO NOT CLEAN UP BEFORE LEAVING FOR YOUR TRIP OR YOU LEFT FOR YOUR TRIP SOONER THAN EXPECTED AND DID NOT SCHEDULE ME SOONER SO YOU COULD SPACE OUT DROP INS AND SAVE MONEY. I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND PETS HAVE ACCIDENTS AND I WILL CLEAN UP AFTER THEM DURING MY SCHEDULED DROP INS, BUT NOT BECAUSE YOU WERE TRYING TO SAVE A FEW DOLLARS BY NOT HAVING ME DROP IN SOONER. REAL LIFE EXAMPLE: A NEW CLIENT REACHED OUT TO ME TO SAY THEIR DOG HAD BEEN LEFT HOME ALONE 2 DAYS STRAIGHT WITH NO CARE AND THEY WOULD BE HOME THE NEXT DAY, COULD I PLEASE LET THEIR DOG OUT, FEED AND WATER THEM? I WALK INTO THEIR HOME TO FIND A DOWNSTAIRS BATHROOM, HALLWAY AND LIVING-ROOM WITH OVER 30 PILES OF PET WASTE! I DID NOT CLEAN IT AS IT WAS OBVIOUS THIS DOG WAS EITHER ALLOWED TO USE THE INDOORS AS ITS BATHROOM ALL THE TIME OR THE DOG WAS LEFT ALONE MUCH LONGER THAN I WAS BEING TOLD AND THE FAMILY WANTED ME TO CLEAN UP BEFORE THEY GOT HOME. I AM NOT A MAID SERVICE. AGAIN I WILL CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR PETS IF I AM WITH THEM AND THEY HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR VOMIT OR IN BETWEEN MY SCHEDULED DROP INS. THANK YOU! Hi! I am Amanda, mother of two humans ages 16 and 11 and two cats ages 6 and 8. My family and I moved to Syracuse, UT February 2022 after moving around for 24 years following my husband’s military career in the Coast Guard. After his retirement we took a one year "break" in the Sun Valley area in Idaho where I started my Rover business and had consistent clients. We then moved to Mountain Home, ID where my husband worked at the Air Force base and my Rover business exploded! I still occasionally make trips back to Idaho at the request of my clients, because they have had “no luck finding a sitter like me”. I’ve been around animals all my life. From cats, dogs, fish, lizards, spiders, and birds to steer, horses, rabbits and chickens! As a child I would take care of neighbors pets for pocket change. In high school I volunteered to be the animal caretaker year round of our Ag Department and FFA animals that were housed on the school campus. I had keys to the school facilities, fed, watered and cleaned up after the animals daily. I also worked at the local feed store. Later on I worked at a doggie daycare in Maine where I spent my days outside (sun, rain or snow) with groups of different breeds and sizes of dogs. I was the one my husband’s shipmates turned to to care for their pets while they were out at sea. I am very reliable and trustworthy. I will show your pets as much love as you do. I am available to walk, play and feed your pets as needed. I am also available for short or long term pet/house sitting. I am a stay at home mom and wife. I have a pretty flexible schedule that allows me to work around your pets needs and schedule.

I left for a week and my cats are apprehensive around strangers, but Amanda got them both taken care of with lots of love. She even did insulin injections for my male cat. I arrived home exhausted from traveling and my house was immaculate. She swept and vacuumed loose litter up. I was so relieved. Thank you so much Amanda, I will definitely be utiling your trustworthy services again.

Amanda is a fantastic pet sitter; concientious and responsible. She kept me well informed, so could feel confident that my cat and home were in great hands!

Amanda is absolutely fantastic, she takes such good care of my pup. I can trust Amanda to follow my instructions, make good decisions for any holes I've left, and to keep me informed with anything that comes up. This week I needed some adjustments made to our reoccurring schedule and she was extremely gracious and flexible with me. My pup also hurt her foot and Amanda made sure to let me know immediately, sent me multiple videos, and messaged to check in on my pup that same evening. I'm beyond grateful to have found someone who cares about my pup and is also respectful of my desires and rules for her as well.
