Information Amanda S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavior that I should be aware of. I need to know if they have any quirks and if they get along with other dogs or people while on walks. My top priority is to keep your pup safe.

A typical day

I love to keep your dogs as entertained as possible, if they are high energy we will go on a nice long walk, we'll play in your backyard or explore a park nearby.

A Calm Home for Your Dog

Pet care experience

I previously worked at a doggy daycare, where I cared for groups of 10+ dogs and learned to read dog behavior, manage different temperaments, and keep dogs safe, calm, and engaged. For the past 8 years, I’ve worked part-time as a pet sitter and dog walker, caring for dogs of all ages. I have experience with senior dogs and am comfortable administering medications and providing the extra patience and gentle care they often need. I focus on creating a calm, low-stress environment where dogs feel safe and comfortable, and I always follow each dog’s routine closely so their stay feels as much like home as possible.

Amanda helped me out last minute when I got stuck at work for two days in the blizzard. When my dogs met her they took to her right away. I felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Amanda kept me updated throughout the stay w texts and pictures. 10/10 would need use her again.

We could not recommend Amanda enough. She watched our dog Bailey for an extended stay and made her feel right at home! Amanda sent many updates throughout baileys stay, such cute pictures and really treated Bailey like her own! Can’t wait to see Amanda again!

I left My 4year old yorkie with Amanda while I went Away on vacation. I was a bit nervous due to my dogs hyperactive behavior and past experience. However she reassured me she had experience and he would be ok. I was put at ease with updates and pictures from Amanda, which helped me to enjoy my trip. 10/10 I would Recommend. Thank you sweetheart ❤️
