Availability
I work from home so I can be as available as your dog needs. My partner also is home for most of the day, and only works in the evenings so one of us is almost always home. We live surrounded by trails and parks so your dog will have ample adventures during their stay.

Safety, trust & environment
Every dog will be treated with the same love and care as if they were our own. We have a large fenced yard that they are free to roam, and a cozy home with dog beds everywhere. We allow dogs on couch and bed, though I can maintain any rules you have in your home for consistency. We do also have a cat so we cannot accept any dogs that are in any way aggressive towards cats or small critters.
Home
Information Amanda & Mitchell L. would like to know about your pet
Due to other animals in the home, a senior dog and a cat, I can only accept dogs that are not aggressive to other animals. However, I’m happy to keep them separated as needed if your pup is just shy or needs more quiet or alone time with me.
A typical day
There are numerous trails as well as semi-fenced open fields that your dog will love to explore. I can take them out for runs or easy sniffing adventures, whatever they’re up for!

Pets
I’ve never met a dog I didn’t love!
Pet care experience
I grew up as the daughter of a professional dog trainer—my mother—and have carried on her love for all animals. I was taught how to handle reactive, nervous dogs with calm gentle confidence, keep high-energy dogs busy with engaging activities, and give mindful care of dogs that have any special needs. Dogs have been a part of my life since birth, including my 15 year old boy Chunk that is so disarming, he makes an excellent companion for even the most nervous dogs. I’ve gained a broad amount of experience as the go-to enthusiastic dog sitter for all my friends and family’s pets. I would love share a warm, welcoming home with your pet where nightly snuggles on the couch are the norm.
Reviews
Had an absolutely amazing experience having Amanda and Michell watch our Lucy. We’d never left a pet with strangers before, and they couldn’t have made the process more comfortable. Amanda sent daily photos and a brief note on what they did that day. Lucy got to go on many long walks and hikes, and really became part of their family. At the end of her stay, we received a report card on Lucy’s behavior, which was the cutest thing ever. Without hesitation, I’d use Amanda and Michell again, and highly recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter.
Amanda is easily the best caregiver I've had for my dog, Argo. She understands exactly what Argo needs at all time - be it play, love, exercise, food, etc. - and so affectionately I think of her as a 'dog whisperer'. She goes above and beyond and often sends me pics and videos from my time away from Argo, which I greatly appreciate. Amanda comes from a long line of dog trainers and it's evident in the way she's able to de-escalate any situation among dogs, which I really appreciate. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for the best care for their pup! I've been using her services for years, and don't want to go to anyone else!
Amanda would be my first, second, and third choice to watch any animal. She has the kindness, patience, and understanding to make any critter feel safe. She is also one of the most responsible people I have had the pleasure of doing business with. She’s punctual, organized, and very knowledgeable about the wide range of needs for different animals. Animals pick her as much as she picks them which is testimony enough to her special connection. Amanda consistently earns a five out of five star review every time!
I can’t recommend Amanda enough as a dog walker and pet caregiver. Amanda and I lived together, with both of our dogs, and she is truly the definition of a "dog person" – she has an innate understanding of dogs, a deep love of dogs, and the ability to make any dog comfortable with her. Plus, her mother was a dog trainer, so she has extensive knowledge of dog behavior. My dog immediately felt comfortable with Amanda, and I always had peace of mind when I was gone knowing my pup was in the best hands. Amanda is reliable, patient, kind and truly loves animals – she is the ideal dog caregiver.
