Pet care experience

Dog LOVER with a flexible schedule!

Hi there! I love being active and am available as a dog walker or a place to board your pup for the day or when you’re headed out of town. I grew up in Bethesda and have a flexible WFH schedule that allows me time to support your pet needs. I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12 and grew up with golden retrievers my whole life (family golden, Hudson in photos, now 5 years old).

Amanda took care of Dexter in the best possible way - so grateful we were able to leave him in excellent care. She brought me a lot of peace of mind and Dexter had a blast! Thank you, Amanda!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a newer large SUPER dog-friendly apartment building in downtown Bethesda with an onsite dog park and dog spa to give your pup extra love if you'd like. My place is a corner unit with floor to ceiling windows which overlook our building's dog park -- so it's great for pups that love to sunbathe and watch the action below. Happy to crate your pup if that's your preference when boarding. Open to sharing photos during walks and throughout boarding to give you peace of mind your pup is in good hands.

A typical day

Scenic Walks: Take your doggie(s) on exciting walks around the neighborhood or nearby parks, allowing them to explore new sights, smells, and sounds while getting some exercise. Outdoor Adventures: Treat your adventurous pup(s) to hikes, nature trails, or visits to dog-friendly parks where they can romp, run, and play. Interactive Playtime: Engage your pup(s) with a variety of interactive toys, such as puzzle feeders, treat-dispensing toys, or tug-of-war ropes, to keep them mentally stimulated and entertained. Fetch and Frisbee: Play a classic game of fetch or frisbee with your active pups, giving them the opportunity to burn off excess energy. Group Playdates: Arrange playdates with other compatible pets (with your permission), allowing them to socialize, interact, and make new doggie friends in a supervised and structured setting. Snuggle and Cuddle Time: Offer plenty of snuggle and cuddle time for your pup(s) who enjoy physical affection, providing comfort, reassurance, and a sense of security. Customized Activities: Tailor the activities to match your pups interests, energy levels, and preferences of each individual pet, ensuring they have a personalized and enjoyable experience in your care.
