Pet care experience
I've returned to Astoria after a few years of living back in my hometown of Chicago! I've had dogs all my life, and most recently, volunteered for a Alive Rescue, a wonderful rescue in Chicago. Our rescue specialized in animals who were overlooked due to their breed and/or needs, and we worked with and trained them to help them find perfect forever homes. I started as a volunteer, and quickly rose to the role of shift leader, responsible for coordinating volunteers and animals on the shift, as well as dealing with potential adopters. In our apartment, we have a cat named Roxy, who can be selective of the furry friends he makes, otherwise he makes himself scarce. If your pup isn't so fond of cats, we have an upstairs and can keep the cat away during your fur baby's stay. We also have two non-furry kids (6 and 11 year old girls) who LOVE dogs. The founder of the rescue even dubbed the 11 year old as the future president of the rescue. Your pup will pretty much be the star of the show, from tons of pets and snuggles, to walks in the neighborhood and Astoria Park.
Reviews
Amanda is simply the best sitter I could ever ask for. She is incredibly flexible with schedule adjustments and requests, and maintains incredible safety and social distancing measures. My cats absolutely adore her and I love seeing the pictures and videos she sends!! Her updates are thorough and fun! I couldn’t ask for someone better to care for our kitties. Amanda continues to be my go to sitter!!
Amanda always takes great care of my cat!
Amanda and her family are like Maddies second family. She loves to go there and play with the kids and her boyfriend Roxy. They are the best!!!
Amanda was very timely and consistent about what time she came to take of my cats. She was also very responsive, and I'm quite fond of the photos she uploaded of my pets. Thanks, Amanda!

As a pet owner myself, I provide the same level of care and love for your pet that I would expect for my own fur baby!
Home
Information Amanda K. would like to know about your pet
I definitely need to know that the dog will be ok around kids, as I have a 13 year old and 8 year old, who love their furry friends. I also try to stick to their schedule (eating, walks, etc), so it’s helpful to inform me of that. Also, I require that any new boarding clients have a meet and greet before booking to ensure a good fit.
A typical day
I will tailor activities to the dog that we are caring for. If it's an ultra active dog, be prepared for lots of lovely long walks to various parks/playgrounds, and maybe take a run through some sprinklers on those hot, dog days of summer. If your dog is more of a homebody, we have lots of comfy blankets and laps to snuggle up with.
