Care for your Four Legged Family

Pet care experience

I pawsitively love animals and have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, turtles and lizards since I was very young. As an adult, I adopted a shelter puppy and trained him myself. He's my best friend and we like to be very active. Denali and I love to hike, walk, play in the snow, visit the dog beach, and go to the dog park. He is very well socialized and meets many friends when we go on outings together. I am currently studying to become a certified dog trainer and will be getting certified in Pet First Aid and CPR.

Prompt, thoughtful, and communicative. Highly recommended!

Amanda is a responsible, caring pet sitter. She communicated professionally from our first exchange and stayed in our home while caring for our 2 young energetic dogs. We had peace of mind while away knowing she was feeding, exercising and tending to them. We booked her for our next get away and highly recommend Amanda to others seeking a competent and compassionate dog sitter!

Amanda is the first person I contact when I need someone to take care of our cat. She is flexible, friendly, and reliable. Our cat likes to be outdoors, and Amanda often returns outside of our agreed-upon check-ins to make sure he's back home and settled inside for the night. I never worry about him when Amanda is in charge, but I appreciate her text updates! I would not hesitate to recommend Amanda as a pet caregiver - your pet couldn't be in better hands.

Amanda has watched my cat for years. She’s been amazing whether it was for a single visit because of a work event or a week away, she’s been a wonderful pet sitter. I highly recommend Amanda for watching any pet, she’s kind, caring and dedicated to making your pet happy when you’re away.

Information Amanda O. would like to know about your pet

I would appreciate any information that you feel like I need to know in order for your dog to have a pawsitive time during your time away. It could includes their likes, dislikes, behaviors, temperament on and off leash and their typical level of activity or schedule.

A typical day

I tend to love to go outside, explore new places and let them have the opportunity to tour new areas. I can do either longer hikes in the woods or shorter neighborhood walks. I also love to play games including fetch with a ball or frisbee, tug a war, or just to jog around in their yard. I can bring along dog puzzles to get their mental stimulation.
