Home away from Home
Pet care experience
I offer a home away from home for your pets, i will treat them like family. I am a mom of one daughter who is heading in to second grade and pet mom to 2 retrievers. I work part time at my daughters school. We have a medium sized house with a nice backyard perfect for running around in, a nice solid wooden fence and a nice open floorplan inside where your dogs will hang out with me getting cuddles and playtime. We have sofa's, rugs and dog beds to relax on. I am a former assistant obedience trainer, i have done agility, obedience and rally with my dogs and all have passed their obedience and canine good citizen tests. I have been fostering dogs with local rescues, about 50 dogs have come through so far so my dogs are very used to new dogs. I have a 7 year old flat coated retriever who likes to play and a 10 year old golden retriever who likes to supervise the playing. In nice weather i am happy to take the dogs on walks, we will play fetch in the backyard, those who want to can play with Frankie in the house and outside, we supply plenty of toys and treats to keep them entertained. I will give them lots of attention so hopefully they don't miss you to much when you are gone and they won't be locked up in kennels or crates or dog runs all day like some boarding facilities. If you have any questions about boarding your dogs with me please don't hesitate to reach out, i am happy to answer any questions and conduct meet and greets if that will make you feel better about leaving your dogs.
Reviews
Always great with daily updates.
Lily always loves staying with Amanda and Carl. She’s definitely spoiled there
Wonderful sitters, highly recommend!!
Amanda & Carl are fantastic. We have used them several times now and they never disappoint. The dogs are always so well cared for and have a BLAST! We receive many photos every day so we never have to question how the dogs are doing. Our dogs are all in different stages of life and they are always thorough to make sure they’re giving our dogs the right level of care. With our family living far away, we go to the airport often. While their home isn’t exactly on the way to the airport from where we live, they are ALWAYS worth the detour! I don’t ever want to use anyone else!

We have a fully fenced in yard for your dog to play, an open floorplan in the home for the dogs to play and lounge around. Multiple dog beds as well. Dogs are crated during my part time job at my daughters school and during brief errands and overnight, but that still leaves multiple hours a day of fun, play and attention
Home
Information Amanda & Carl P. would like to know about your pet
all i ask based on recent experiences is that your dog be able to be left in a crate when needed and is potty trained (unless it's a puppy still learning) and not aggressive towards other dogs.
A typical day
the dogs will spend their time relaxing in my home with the resident dogs. If the owner would like their dog exercised we will take for walks weather permitting (don't want any paws burned by hot pavements) or we can play ball in the backyard, lots of cuddles and affection in the home, they can relax on one of the dog beds, rug or the sofa.
