Highlights
Pet care experience
Quality pet care; home full-time!
I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, with long-term dog sitting experience on Cape Cod, MA and in Northeast Ohio. I’m also a devoted pug parent myself, so I understand firsthand the importance of routines, comfort, and the little quirks that make each dog unique. My partner and I recently relocated to the Buffalo area for his new job, and I’m excited to establish new client relationships and meet fellow dog lovers in the community. Dog sitting is my second job, and I work full-time—entirely remotely—for an Executive Search firm. This allows me to maintain a very flexible schedule and be home throughout the day. At this time, my preference is for house sitting in your home, where I can help keep your dog’s routine consistent in a familiar environment. Because I work remotely, I’m able to provide all-day, round-the-clock companionship while I work, with plenty of breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and snuggles (with the occasional quick visit to check on my own puggies, of course!). I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize safety, comfort, and attentive care. I look forward to meeting you and your pup soon!

Safety, trust & environment
I believe the best care comes from keeping your dog’s routine as close to yours as possible, all in the comfort of their own home. I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet before a sit so I can get to know you and your dog, learn their daily routine, and familiarize myself with the home and surrounding area. I always recommend sharing a simple “guide” or list of your dog’s schedule—feeding, potty breaks, medication, walks, playtime, and any special preferences. I’ve cared for dogs with all types of personalities, and understanding their quirks and behavioral patterns helps ensure a smooth, stress-free experience. For example, I like to know how they do on walks, whether they’re an escape artist or more of a Velcro pup, and how they react around other dogs. When it comes to walks, I’m comfortable walking two small dogs at the same time, and since it’s just me, I prefer one larger dog at a time. In addition to pet care, I’m also happy to help with light house-sitting tasks while you’re away, such as watering plants, bringing in mail and packages, and keeping an eye on the home. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible, knowing both your dog and your home are being well cared for.
Ratings and reviews
Amanda is amazing... seriously! I honestly can’t rave enough about how she cared for our boys while we were at our destination wedding. Our older furry pup couldn’t travel anymore and as much as it broke my heart leaving them, I knew he was in good hands. Amanda kept us updated and full of pictures, her communication was outstanding! She is amazing and will take care of your pups like your own! I think our house was cleaner than we left it!! Lol Amanda is amazing and we can’t wait to see her again!
Always good with Amanda. Penny is calm and relaxed with Amanda.
Amanda was wonderful with Penny. Lot of walks and even took her to the park to walk the trails. I would definitely hire her again.
Excellent overnight…lots of status and pictures…many thinks
We had Amanda watch our dogs for an overnight and she was outstanding. Both our pups were super relaxed when we got home and seemed very happy - more so than any other time we've had someone watch them. Thank you for making them feel cared for!
Amanda is wonderful! She is kind and caring. She met with us before our stay to put our minds at ease and this really demonstrates her commitment to her profession. We highly recommend her to anyone! Hamlet is also a cutie with an amazing personality! He loves life and enjoys making new friends!

Schedule
I work full-time and entirely remotely for an Executive Search firm, and dog sitting has been my second job for as long as I can remember. I’ve found that remote work and dog sitting complement each other perfectly, allowing me to provide steady, round-the-clock companionship rather than just a few drop-in visits each day. I prefer to house sit and stay in your home, essentially moving in and working remotely while keeping your dog company and maintaining their normal routine. This approach is especially helpful for dogs with separation anxiety or those who need more frequent potty breaks. While I generally keep a typical 9–5 schedule, my workday is flexible, and I can take breaks as needed. I do have occasional meetings during the day and, depending on proximity, may step out briefly to check on my own dogs—but your pet’s care, comfort, and safety are always my top priority.
