Individualized loving care
Pet care experience
I know pets are more than just animals. They're family! And I aim to treat your dog (or cat!) like my own family when we are together. I will provide lots of attention and play time, while also reinforcing rules you have set for them (such as not allowing them on the furniture if you don't allow them on the furniture). I have a strong attention to detail and will be sure to carefully follow any instructions you have for me regarding feeding, schedules, behavior, etc. I don't currently have a dog of my own, but if your doggo is particularly social and loves playing with other dogs, I'd be happy to take them to a dog park or arrange a playdate with one of my friend's dogs. I will always make sure your dog or cat is secure in the area where he or she is supposed to be and will double check all locks before I leave. I have no professional education in pet training, but have worked with some of my clients to improve some problem behaviors like pulling on the leash or jumping. Again, not a professional trainer, but have had some success in that area informally.
Reviews
Amanda was great! I have a senior dog and it’s really hard to leave her. Amanda took such great care to ensure my dog’s daily routine remained consistent while I was gone. She sent lots of updates and pics. The house was spotless and dogs were happy when I arrived home. Would absolutely use Amanda again!
This is Amanda’s second time watching our pup and she was great! She was communicative and sent pictures of our pup, which was great. Would definitely recommend her and have her watch our dog again!
Amanda was terrific! I appreciated the pictures and updates she sent and would recommend her to anyone wanting to use a Rover pet sitter.
Amanda is an amazing communicator and followed my instructions “to a tee”. She was extremely respectful of my home and responded to questions in a timely manner. My dog was safe and happy when I returned. Would definitely use again.

To the extent possible, I try to keep your pet in the same routine they are used to having with you, including reinforcing desired behaviors. I would hate to encourage bad habits and have your pet misbehaving when you return!
Information Amanda S. would like to know about your pet
It's super helpful to know if your pup has any specific fears or triggers (like skateboards, other dogs, etc.) so I can do my best to avoid those things and avoid any extra stress for your dog. If your dog is not fully house-trained, I'm probably not the best fit for you.
A typical day
As a trail runner, I know lots of great places where your pup and I can go for little adventures together if that is something you would like! There are so many options in our area! I also provide unlimited snuggles to dogs who want that.

I'm a therapist who mostly works from home, and I currently have a good bit of flexibility while I build up my caseload. I'm not able to schedule too far in advance because I can't control when I'll get more referrals. At this time, I don't sit for more than 3 nights in a row. Thank you for understanding!
