The Napping House
Pet care experience
My parents got a puppy a year before I was born, so from day one I grew up with a dog who I considered fully part of the family. By the time I was ten, I was a full participant in his care. I really miss having a dog around the house. After nearly seven years on Rover, I've had so much fun getting to hang out with dozens upon dozens of awesome dogs. I'm extremely affectionate and energetic enough to tire the dog out just in time for napping. My general routine is walking them to Prospect Park every day, visiting my parents' garden in Park Slope where the dog can run around freely, and walking back to my apartment for plenty of nap time.
Reviews
Amanda took amazing care of our pup Miso for the second time, we are so grateful that we can trust her with his care! She is very responsible, communicative, and a wonderful guest in our apartment! Miso can’t wait to see her again!
Amanda did such a great job taking care of our dog and home (again)! She sent lots of photos which is nice while we were away. And our dog really loves her!
Amanda took such great care of our pup and our house while we were gone! Will definitely work with her again!
Amanda was amazing! I was very nervous to leave my dog with a sitter for the first time since moving to NYC but she made it completely stress-free! She was very flexible when we had some crazy travel changes as well as a maintenance issue at our apartment. We loved the daily updates she sent us! I came back to a very happy pup!

Safety, trust & environment
Because I work remotely, my hours are super flexible, and I'm able to help devote a lot of time to ensuring dogs transition from their owner's care to mine. My priority is making sure that they're calm and feel safe with me.

Information Amanda J. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know their feeding and walking routines, if they're friendly with other dogs, if they can go off leash in Prospect Park, and if they know any tricks!
A typical day
Every morning we'll go to Prospect Park, run around and toss the ball. We'll probably nap the rest of the day. If it's beautiful out, we'll hang out in the garden. At night, we'll have at least an hour long walk around the neighborhood.

Availability
I teach in a Park Slope school for an hour a day, Monday - Friday, but otherwise work remotely from my apartment. My hours are extremely flexible. Dogs who are content to lay at my feet while I write, or snuggle up on the couch while I work, are a bonus for me!
