At this time, I work a couple of per diem jobs, and I have a part-time remote job for part of the year. Walking / hiking with my dogs is one of my favorite activities, so I'm happy to do the same with yours!

About Amanda & Jefferson K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We can personalize the care and scheduling at your home to your liking. I imagine this would be easier to work out on a case by case basis :) Guest pups are never left out in the yard unattended. In the event I need to leave for short periods while we have guest pups, we have plenty of space and rooms to keep pups separate and comfortable.
Home
Information Amanda & Jefferson K. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your fur babies have any specific or specialized needs or preferences, especially medically or behaviorally. Again, I'm sure we can work this out as we communicate more about you and your pup's needs!
A typical day
I am a pretty active person, and I am more than happy to take your pup on a long walk, hike (or possibly a short jog, ha!), or swim. We live very close to Titlow park. I'm also perfectly fine with just letting your pup outside and cuddling between.

Pet care experience
Hello! Thanks for stopping by! Please first note that as of June 2026, Rover adds 11% on your end & now takes 30% on my end. I have to increase prices to make it sustainable to continue to do this. I have experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc. We also have some experience with pigs, cows, and horses :)... from 4-H to my husband's family's ranch. I also have experience giving medications to cats and dogs and taking care of pets that have seizures & diabetes. My husband and I have boarded pups in our home(s) for years, as well as I have walked and provided in-home visits, through Rover and a friend's pet-sitting company. We also used to foster dogs & puppies. :) A lot of our pictures are from when we used to live in Florida. After a number of years as a travel nurse, and taking care of pets while home between contracts in Ohio, we decided Tacoma is a wonderful place to live! We currently only board up to a maximum of 3 pups. We have a large fenced in yard, and hiking or walking (or swimming!) with pups is one of my favorite activities. :) I do have a part-time remote job for half the year, and I work very prn hours as a nurse. Please note I do not provide "constant care." I am therefore not currently a match for dogs with separation anxiety or that can't be left alone for 1-4 hours, though I really try to not be gone longer than a couple hours at a time (for walks, drop-ins, & other normal human obligations). While I love doing this, but I can't promise verbal "holds" for weeks. Rover penalizes you for this, plus it's difficult to know how to respond to others. We also don't know as many people or resources in Tacoma compared to previous places we've lived, so we are also not in a position to semi-permanently take in additional pets at this time or be super helpful in helping you find a new home for your pet. Sorry - and thanks!!
Reviews

Amanda was fantastic and really helped us out! We had a bit of a situation with our key and she handled it like a pro!

How great to find a wonderful pet sitter! Kuna had a fun overnight with Amanda. She went on 2 adventure walks and also met some new dog friends to hang out with. Photos were sent, updates give, and our instructions for Kuna’s care were followed to a tee. We look forward to another pet sitter opportunity soon.


Amanda is amazing and everything we can ask for in a dog walker and sitter! Highly recommended to anyone

Amanda and Jefferson are amazing! Theodore gets excited the minute he knows we’re at their house
