As a dog sitter I offer a warm and welcoming environment for your pup. I have two adorable puppies of our own— a playful Maltipoo and a gentle and lovable American Bully—both well-socialized and ready to make new furry friends. I can ensure they will get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. With my background as a registered nurse (RN) and a flexible schedule, I can provide specialized care and attention to your dog’s needs, from regular walks and feeding to administering medications if needed. Whether it's energetic play or quiet relaxation, your dog will feel right at home with me, surrounded by family, compassion, and care.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. My home is in a spacious, safe environment with a large, unfenced yard where your dog can run, play, and enjoy the outdoors if you allow. While the yard is unfenced, I ensure constant supervision during outdoor playtime to keep your dog safe at all times. I take every precaution to ensure your dog is secure, and my flexibility allows me to spend ample time with them, both inside and outside the home. With two well-behaved puppies of our own, your dog will have the chance to socialize and enjoy the company of other friendly pets. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, quiet relaxation indoors, or following your dog’s routine, you can trust that your pet will be safe, cared for, and treated like one of my own family members.

Information Amanda J. would like to know about your pet

Please provide all the necessary information so I can ensure your pup receives the best care possible. This includes information about their daily routine, feeding schedules, and any medications they may need as well as important health concerns or allergies.

A typical day

I can provide plenty of fun and safe activities tailored to each pets energy level and personality. These can include walks to explore the neighborhood, fetch, tug of war, etc. For pups who love extra attention, I offer cuddle time, brushing and calming companionship. Whether it’s exercise, enrichment or snuggles, I make sure every dog gets the perfect balance of activity and care.

Pet care experience

I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets, with a focus on building strong bonds and creating a nurturing environment. I currently have two fur babies of our own and understand the needs of different breeds, ages, and personalities. From feeding and grooming to daily walks and playtime, I make sure each pet feels like part of the family. I can ensure that every pet receives the care, companionship, and fun they deserve while you're away.

Amanda did an amazing job with our pet. We never used this app before and this was a great first experience. She is very communicative and gave us updates on how Dolly was doing very often. We definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future.

Amanda and her family did an excellent job caring for our 10-year-old, Lola. It was easy to schedule a meet-and-greet, and I felt immediately comfortable with her and her family. We received great photo updates throughout our trip, and Lola was clearly well loved. It was wonderful to see the care shared so evenly between Amanda and her husband, we knew Lola was in great hands!

Amanda was great! She sent me daily updates while my dog was with her and he was very happy and well cared for when I picked him up
