Safety, trust & environment

I have 2 large dogs, 1 that is not pet friendly with the exception of my dog and cat. I have several bedrooms and can separate the animals to provide absolute safety for your fur baby. I am able to divide the yard with a chain link fence between to provide space for all animals, but I prefer to provide play time with animals completely separate to provide safety. I also only allow 1 small animal in my home to assure absolute safety. I do the majority of pet sitting in the clients home to allow the animals to be comfortable. I have several references that have allowed me to care for their pets in their homes.

Information Amanda L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your pets likes and dislikes, any feeding preferences, medications. I also like to have a collar and leash available even if the pet is to stay at home in case of emergencies where I would need to take them out.

A typical day

I will stimulate your pet physically and mentally with walks, tug of war, outside play such as fetch, sniffaris, water play as appropriate and any activities your pet enjoys.

Amanda did a great job looking after my reptiles, a gargoyle gecko and an egg-eating snake.

Amanda was amazing. Reliable, sweet and very professional with my three cats (who have different needs). She reports to me every single day, and she genuinely cares about them. Completely recommendable. I will contact her again for sure for my next trip.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
