Pet care experience

Avid dog lover

Hello there, I have had 30 years experience watching animals and have been watching and working with dogs since I was 9. I walk my own dog at least 3-4 times a day and enjoy taking him to the dog park after work and on the weekends. I am very thorough and concise in my pup reports and like to keep the owner up to date on how their pet does and what we did. I grew up in Madison and love the area, but having a dog has allowed me to see even more areas of this wonderful city! I would love to have the opportunity to meet both you and your dogs and put your mind at ease knowing they are in good care while you are away. I look forward to meeting you and your pups!

Amanda was terrific. She provided great communication during her stay and I really appreciated the daily photos and reports. She was great with my dogs. She is very warm and friendly and I enjoyed the interaction.

Amanda did a great job for us! I would feel very comfortable having her watch my dog and cats again.

Schedule

If I could do this full-time, I would! But bills need to be paid so I have a full-time job and do this on the side. My job is flexible though and that has allowed me to be more flexible with scheduling as well. Using Rover has allowed me to travel to different areas nearby and also meet many different kinds of breeds of dogs. I really do love it because I get my dog fix without owning too many dogs!

Safety, trust & environment

I care for the pets according to however the owner wants or needs me to. I can crate them but am always home with the pups so often take them for walks and have a crate full of toys and puzzles to engage them with.

Pets

A typical day

I match the energy of the dog. My Percy can be both so we will play and then chill but he always gets at least 3 walks a day and a trip to a dog park if weather permits. Let me know what your dog enjoys, whether that be tugging on a rope or sitting on a lap!

Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs i.e. takes pills daily, injections, etc. Knowing their vet clinic is also important and very much appreciated. Often owners already give me this information but it is always a good reminder.
