Pet care experience
Your place or mine, anytime. High-maintenance pets with special dietary needs, exercise routines, or separation anxiety are a specialty of mine. Weekday borders need to be potty-trained and cool with being alone for 8hrs (with morning and evening walks). I can arrange a mid-day potty break or possibly working from home on holiday weekends but during the week I work 9-5. Extra services like pick up and drop off at doggie play group, vet appointments, grooming etc can be arranged by request. Why I love dog sitting I love all kinds of pets (except birds and spiders). I can board multiple dogs from the same family but I try not to board dogs with different parents and schedules so they are as happy about their stay as possible. About my yard I don't have a fenced yard so I don't take fugitive dogs. If your dog will run away when off the leash then I may not be the sitter for you. But my place is next door to a greenspace and a park and dogs who play fetch will love to go out with me. My experience administering medication Oral medications or skin conditions requiring topical ointments or shampoos are no problem. I can mix specialty foods to your specifications. I'm happy to serve homemade foods but I can't cook them so they need to come in a doggie bag. : )
Reviews
Amanda was wonderful, she took very good care of our Dexter while we were gone for a week. We received pictures and updates to help reassure that our boy was happy and well taken care of. I would say she went above and beyond when our old boy was having a hard time towards the end of our trip. Would recommend to other rovers looking for a kindhearted and responsible individual to care for your beloved animals.
Amanda was such a caring and loving sitter for our cat Stella. Stella made a special bonding with her and had a great time there. We felt very secure and comfortable for her stay. Definitely we will ask Amanda to watch Stella again!
Amanda takes such great care of Rosie - our 100 pound Italian Mastiff. She even gave her a bath. We LOVE her!!
Amanda was a wonderful sitter for my nervous kitty while I was out of town. She made sure we had his food, litter , etc. all set up for him and was happy to go over his routine, toys and emergency numbers. While I was gone I got pictures and updates. I returned to a happy, healthy kitty. She was flexible with drop off and pick up times and even offered to pick him up from my house. I would definitely reach out to her for pet care again.

Information Amanda K. would like to know about your pet
I don't have any breed preferences but my neighbors and I don't like dogs who bark at everything. Even though I have allergies I still love to dog sit, but I do prefer dogs that don't shed too much.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks We'll walk in my community greenspace for a short potty break. For longer walks we'll head over to the park a block away. If your dog enjoys socializing with others we can also ride over to Gabriel dog park for some off-leash fun. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Wherever they usually sleep at home is where I allow your dog to sleep. If they are allowed on the bed that is cool with me or the floor. I won't make them sleep outside or lock them in the bathroom. Time I'll spend with your dog My goal is to keep your dog on your schedule. If you do two walks a day that is what I do. If you are a couch potato who needs a lap warmer I have a ready lap.
