Safety, trust & environment

Our pets are well loved and spoiled. We’d love to spoil your babies too! Our yard is unfenced, so dogs will be on leashes or on a run when outside. Comfortable with crating, gating or free range of the house. There is plenty of room for everyone to have space separately or together. Happy to do drop-ins for walks, feeding or playtime!

Information Amanda L. would like to know about your pet

We are able to manage many of your pets needs. Comfortable with medication administration, high anxiety animals, and all ages up to elderly. Please let us know if your pet has any specific dietary/special needs or restrictions.

A typical day

I am available all day Saturday and Sunday and mornings and evenings Monday-Friday. Pat works Sunday-Monday and is available Thursday-Saturday. We provide plenty of cuddles, exercise and enrichment through playtime, walks and pack walks. We live in a quiet neighborhood that provides plenty of space for walks. Dogs will be leashed outside or placed on a run as our yard is not fully fenced. Having a mini farm ourselves, our family has always used safety protocols with doors when entering and exiting the house.

Family of animal lovers

Pet care experience

Experience with small and large birds, cats and multiple dog breeds. We are a family of four who love animals of all kinds. I’m Amanda, the daughter of a pet store owner and animal advocate. I grew up with dogs, cats and many exotic animals in my home. Pat, dad to our velcro kitty has experience with large dogs. We have two daughters. A teenager and an almost teenager. Both share the same passion for animals that we do and have experience in dog training. We share our home with Ruby, our tiny toy poodle with a big personality, Mavis and Shadow, rescue cats who love to eat and relax in a sunny window and Luna the lovebird who loves to play peek-a-boo.

Amanda had been our dog sitter when we go for the last year and I have nothing but positive things to say. She has excellent communication, is always accommodating, and creates a loving environment for our dog Sonya. Whenever we go away I know our dog is in good hands. :)

Amanda was great! She worked with my schedule and had great communication while setting up care. During my trip she took good care of my 2 cats and sent lots of pictures that helped set me at ease.
