Safety, trust & environment

Your pets will get lots of love and attention while I’m at your home. I will send pictures and notes about their adventures to brighten your day. Let me know what your pets need, and I'll ensure they are treated with impeccable care as I treat them like I would my own family.

Information Amanda R. would like to know about your pet

I would love to schedule a meet and greet to get to know your pets -- and so they can get familiar with me, too. Please let me know as much as you can about your pet's personality and routines so I can better accommodate them. Do they have any special needs, treats they like, ways they like to be handled, places they like to walk, or know any commands you’d like reinforced?

A typical day

I'll take your dogs walking wherever you prefer, and I'm happy to play a game of fetch with them, too! As a runner, I may be able to offer running options for your dog depending on their needs . If they prefer a more leisurely stroll to stop and smell everything, we can do that, too, of course. They will enjoy lots of affection, pets, and positive reinforcement during our time together. If you have cats, they deserve playtime, too. Just let me know where their toys and catnip are, and I'm happy to keep their hunting and playing instincts satisfied while you're away. If you have more mellow or shy cats, I tend to be good at earning their trust and allowing them to come out of their shells. Any cat I spend time with will enjoy as much TLC as they allow. If you have any fish, chickens, or rabbits, I'd be glad to check on and feed them, too. Of course, I can also bring in your mail and packages while I'm there.

Professional, loving care

Pet care experience

Your animals are more than just “pets” -- they are family. As a pet guardian my entire life, I will provide the love and care your furry family members need and deserve. I have over 4 decades of experience with dogs and cats (and even chickens and fish!). I can even provide some medical necessities like subcutaneous fluids, inhalers, insulin, and other medications as I've cared for many animals with special needs. After having 2 dogs and 3 cats who lived long, happy lives, I have a soft spot for senior pets. I love animal babies, too, and I have plenty of experience with puppies and kittens!

Amanda was amazing! She was on time and really showed me that she cares for animals. I was relieved to know that she was checking in on my pup and taking good care of her.

Amanda is ANAZING! She is always reliable and the dogs absolutely love her. She is also flexible and always communicates schedule changes. I feel so relieved knowing my dogs are in such good hands and actually loved on and cared for!
