Caring, Professional, Experienced
Pet care experience
I have over 25+ years of pet care experience as an owner and carer of dogs, cats, and horses. I also work at a doggy day care/boarding facility and work with groups of dogs up to 20 at a time (60 in a day). I have owned my own dog walking/pet sitting/house sitting business for over 20 years and truly enjoy caring for and spending time with animals. I can handle multiple animals at a time though I prefer one on one to give the most personal attention. I will be active with your dog - whether it be an easy walk, playing at the dog park or just in your back yard - I find dogs are happiest when they are engaged in an activity that fits their energy level. If your dog has been trained we will work on commands. If I am boarding your dog at my home we will have at least 3 walks a day but usually do 4 and one for a minimum of 30-45 minutes - pace appropriate for your dog. Meow! I speak cat and love them too! I am experienced in giving oral meds to cats if needed. Tell your cat I said psp psp psp ;) also happy to care for your guinea pigs, rabbits, and birds. I also have 11 years experience in the luxury hospitality industry, and thrive when my clients are happy.
Reviews
Amanda was amazing with our little guy...so loving, knew what he needed to settle in. We will definitely be using her again!
Haakon had a blast staying at Amanda’s place. She gave us daily updates and send us lots of pictures. We highly recommend her!
Amanda is incredible with my dog Rosie. She is loving, kind, firm, and trustworthy. When I need a pet sitter Amanda is my go to person. I’m so grateful to have found her.
Amanda goes above and beyond when watching my dog. From going on daily walks to playing fetch, I can always count on her to take the best care of my pup. She cares about animals like they were her own. We can’t say enough!

I will come to your home for drop ins, sitting, walks and overnights. Happy to take your dog in my vehicle to your preferred park or to a specific area for a walk. If you prefer me to board your dog, we will have tons of walks and cuddles at my place. It is my goal to make your dog’s time with me a fun, relaxing vacation while you’re away. While I am the primary carer, my husband is on stand by for extra cuddles and potty breaks.

Information Amanda L. would like to know about your pet
Love all breeds and dogs - big and small. Love older dogs and happy to take puppies. Please note there are two flights of stairs to my place so if your dog is boarding she will need to be ok with stairs or with me carrying her. Helpful to know if there are any anxiety or aggression challenges so we can troubleshoot and plan ahead. I believe in positive reinforcement coaching for your pup. If your dog has grooming needs please let me know! Happy to help out. The more information the better to reduce stress on your dog while you're away. If boarding your dog will not be left alone for more than 2 hours.
A typical day
I'm a native Nashvillian and know most of the dog parks and dog friendly parks in the city. If your dog likes to socialize then we'll go somewhere more social; if she is a bit shy, we can keep to ourselves. A favorite walk around the neighborhood is to Fort Negley or the dog park on Craighead and Bransford. I also love going to Ellington Agriculture Center. Fort Negley is great because it's quiet and good for a dog adjusting to a new environment. Very few other dogs there.

Availability
I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. Available during the week while you're at work for walks and drop-ins as well as overnights for in-home pet care. When I am with your pets I am fully present and engaged with your dog or cat. If they are boarding in my home we will have dedicated and structured play/rest/walk/potty time.
