Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and my office is right by the back door, so I usually have furry friends spend time with me during the workday either cuddling up with me while I work and playing in the backyard (weather permitting). If I am caring for pets in your home, I handle the biological needs of your pet first (potty, feeding, litter box, etc) after a quick greeting and then I like to spend time with your pet on their own terms. Some pets like cuddles and playtime and others want a little space, so I will patiently sit with them (I'm lookin at you, cats!)

Information Amanda P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any sensitivities, preferred activities, or activities/behaviors that make them uncomfortable. Please also let me know if your dog needs special considerations, such as avoiding other pets while on walks or if they have a special item.

A typical day

Dogs under my care are sure to get a ton of attention! I love going for walks, playing fetch, teaching new commands, and of course, giving lots of cuddles! If you have a special request, please let me know.

Reliable, Loving Pet Care

Pet care experience

I have had pets my entire life and absolutely love dogs and cats. I know pets are part of the family and treat each baby as if they were my own. I always include photos and details of our time together as I know how hard it is to be away from them. In addition to basic pet care, I am also knowledgeable in basic training commands (sit, lay down, high five, etc) and have experience caring for elderly pets.

Amanda was wonderful! Very professional and attentive. My cats were happy and didn’t misbehave at all while I was gone, which is not normal behavior for them (haha). Will absolutely rebook with Amanda for future drop in visits.

Amanda took great care of Nugget while I was out of town. He tends to be a bit shy around strangers but came right up to greet her when she stopped by before I left town. Amanda said Nug purred the whole time she was over, which means that she passed the vibe check. I would absolutely trust her with him again!

Amanda took great care of our dog for 5 nights. We appreciated the updates and pictures throughout the day and were happy to hear that our dog was having a blast playing with Amanda’s dog, Teddy. We would recommend her to others and plan to use her again in the future!
