Hi, I'm Amanda! I'm originally from Dallas, TX, and recently moved to Orlando. I've been pet sitting for over two years, primarily for families in my neighborhood, and caring for dogs is something I genuinely love. As a dog mom myself, I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone else. My goal is to provide the kind of care and communication that I would want for my own dog, so you can enjoy your day knowing your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for. For doggy daycare, I only accept one client at a time. This allows me to provide individualized attention, closely monitor every interaction, and focus on your dog's specific needs throughout the day. While they won't be part of a large daycare group, they will get to share my home with my dog, River. She is a very friendly 20-pound minature labradoodle. She's gentle, social, and has grown up around dogs of all sizes and ages, including seniors, so she's great at reading other dogs' cues and knowing when they want to play or simply relax. For everyone's safety and comfort, I only accept daycare dogs who are friendly with dogs, and all interactions are closely supervised to make sure everyone has a fun, positive experience. For daycare guests, I am home with them throughout the day and provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection. I live in a first-floor apartment with direct access to large grassy areas through my patio gate, making it easy to get outside whenever needed. If your dog prefers multiple walks or extra potty breaks, I'm happy to accommodate their routine. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your pup is doing while you're away. I know how much peace of mind those updates provide because I look for the same thing when my own dog is in someone else's care. All of my daycare guests get to free roam the home and are welcome on the furniture, just as they would be in their own home. Because I am home throughout the day, your dog will be supervised at all times. If your dog is crate-trained and you'd like them to have crate time during their stay, you're welcome to bring their crate so we can maintain their normal routine. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and anxious or shy dogs. My own dog can be shy when meeting new people, so I understand the patience, structure, and reassurance that some dogs need to feel comfortable in a new environment. I always allow dogs to adjust at their own pace and never force interactions. I'm conveniently located less than 10 minutes from SeaWorld, approximately 15 minutes from Universal Orlando, and about 20 minutes from Walt Disney World, making drop-off and pickup easy for both local families and vacationing guests. I also offer flexible pickup times, including late-night pickups until 1:00 a.m. by prior arrangement. I know theme park days, special events, and fireworks nights can run later than expected, and I want you to enjoy your time without worrying about rushing back for your dog. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and provide them with a safe, comfortable, home-away-from-home experience!
