Loving Pet Caregiver
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Amanda and I am a HUGE animal lover. I have previously worked in animal medical centers as a kennel and doggy day care attendant. This role gave me a lot of experience in taking care of pets in all shapes and sizes, including feeding and watering on a schedule, walks and play time, and administering medication. I have been a pet sitter for friends and family ever since I was a teenager and grew up with animals as a part of my family. I am very loving, patient, and compassionate towards all kinds of pets. I know traveling can be stressful for pet owners (I have two pets of my own) so I promise to give your pet the care they deserve, whether it be taking them on walks or just hanging out and giving them cuddles. I look forward to meeting your sweet fur baby!

Dear Rover Community, Amanda is truly a heaven sent dog sitter who has a deep compassion for not only animals, but also for their owners. From the first time that we met prior to our vacation, she showed a genuine interest in our dog "Teddy." She asked a lot of questions about his habits, health concerns, interests, and what we expected from her regarding his care. When we went on a trip to Mexico, which is 5 hours ahead of Hawaii, Amanda was very conscientious about the time difference when she updated us with Teddy's well being. She sent us multiple photos and texted us almost every day about how he was doing and how he was adjusting to his new environment. This of course made us feel very at ease knowing that our dog was in good hands, since we were so far away from home. Amanda followed our instructions so well that when we picked him up, his finicky eating habits actually improved for the better. He now eats regularly in the morning and at the night. Prior to his stay with Amanda, he had an irregular and inconsistent feeding pattern. It's something that he possibly learned by watching Amanda's interactions with her well trained dog "Lola." I'd like to thank Amanda and her husband for providing top notch care to Teddy. However, it's sad that she'll be leaving these Islands in 2 months. Good luck to your Ohana and I know that you will always be there for other dogs and their owners. Mahalo, Mark
Amanda was amazing with Zeus! Daily updates and pictures, really put my mind at ease. Zeus loved playing with her dog and daily walks!
Amanda was great with Bugsy! She took great care of him and sent photos/videos everyday. I would definitely book with her again!
Just one word to describe Amanda: Superb! I think my dog got better treatment than in my own house ? She went above and beyond to ensure I was kept informed of my dog’s daily activities and sent many pictures too.

Information Amanda L. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs so we can plan accordingly. I will do the best that I can to accommodate your pet. I am open to all breeds. I grew up with all different kinds of dogs, ranging from large and energetic to small and skittish. The only thing I ask is to not board your pet in my home if he/she has any aggression towards other animals, for the sake of my own pets' safety.
A typical day
I love to play with dogs. For physical exercise, I take them on walks around the neighborhood, to the dog park, play fetch, and even take them on hikes if they are up for it. My own dog is very sweet and playful, so if you choose to board your dog with me, he/she will have a fun companion. I have a plethora of fun toys that they can play with, as well as lick mats and puzzle toys to provide mental stimulation.
