I'll love em almost as well as you!

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up primarily caring for and riding horses which has remained my life until now. I live on a huge farm with my 3 horses, 2 barn cats, a rabbit and 2 dogs - Sawyer, a 5 year old Siberian husky, and Teagan, a 2 year old Australian Shepherd/Basenji mix. I have a seasoned an extensive background in animal welfare with a focus on rescuing and fostering Siberian Huskies. I successfully ran a small dog walking and pet sitting business for the Anne Arundel County area from 2013 thru 2017. I’m grateful to be back & offering my services full time with a focus on daily dog walking. I am educated and experienced with dogs of all breeds and sizes having worked alongside behaviorists, welfare leaders and veterinarians. I’m very educated and conscious of proper care and safe handling. I am also certified in Animal Reiki Healing. I look forward to loving your pets almost as much as you! I am very attentive to your pets needs, whether it be in a fenced yard or on leash, I engage with them in play and attention making sure they are happy and well taken care of. You’ll receive updates with photos during &/or after their care is complete!

Amanda took great care of my three pups and did a wonderful job of making sure one stayed separated from the other two as required. It can be extra scary to trust someone given our special circumstances but I will definitely be using her in the future!

Amanda was fantastic. She sent photos of Nikki's stay, and made sure that she had a wonderful time.

My dog absolutely loved his stay at Amanda's last weekend. It's great knowing your dog is in good hands. She kept me updated as to how my dog was doing, and it was nice knowing he had a backyard and other dogs to run around with. I'm going to be booking another stay with her in the near future. Would definitely recommend, thanks Amanda!
