Availability
Currently, since I have an 2 year old son and 4 month old daughter, and I’ve chosen to stay home with them. This allows me to have a much more open schedule for pets. My fiancé and I also share the responsibility of pet sitting, so please inquire about specific dates as we may be able to have someone available at all times according to our schedule for those dates.

About Amanda S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I realize each pet is different, so I ask the owner help me personalize care for their unique pet! Normally I like to shower pets with love and play, for dogs that are reactive, have resource guarding, anxiety, or special needs, I modify my approach according to the owner’s preference. For me, communication is everything, and I will only do what I know you are comfortable with.

Information Amanda S. would like to know about your pet
I do need to make sure I’m aware of any behavioral struggles, if your dog has any special needs, or if there are any medications that need to be administered during their stay. I also require pets to be up to date on grooming (especially nail trimming), vaccinations, and flea & tick treatment. We’ve had dogs with curled in nails, matted fur, a with fleas and flea dirt. I just want to make sure your dog is safe & healthy before entering my home. If you have any questions or concerns I’m happy to discuss those with you.
A typical day
My favorite thing is getting their energy out in the morning because I’ve found they’re much more content for the rest of the day. We’ll go to the park for about an hour or a long walk, to then once they’re tired I take them home. They’ll get a few bones or toys to mess with while they chill out together.

A Quiet, Loving Place to Stay
Pet care experience
Hi pet parents! My name is Amanda. I’m currently a stay at home mom and I have a deep love for pups! I have two dogs of my own: Theo, who is extremely friendly and playful with other dogs, and River, the sweetest one-eyed pup you’ll ever meet. If your pet needs social time that you can’t always provide, or care while you’re away, we are happy to help! If your dog doesn’t do well with other dogs, I’m also happy to come to you instead or keep them separated as needed. I have been around dogs my entire life and used to foster dogs for local shelters as well. I have experience with teaching dogs basic tricks and manners. I am accepting of all breeds and sizes, and just ask that your pet is dog-friendly, kid-friendly and potty trained if they are to come over and hangout with us! It will be my goal to make sure your dog leaves happier than when they came. I look forward to meeting your sweet fur babies! ***Note: Crates are required for boarding! PLEASE make sure your pet is UP TO DATE on grooming (especially nails!), vaccinations, and flea and tick medicine. My top priority is the cleanliness and safety of my home for my children and your pets! Thank you in advance I pride myself in providing my dogs structure and a set schedule. We get up at 7every morning (after a few snuggles) for breakfast, then we go for a long walk. If we have pent up energy, we will take an extra trip to the dog park for some free running! Most of the day is quiet and includes lots of snuggles and naps. We have dinner around 8pm, after our evening walk.
Reviews
Great with my cats. Will use again.
My Boston Terrier is very attached to me at the hip but she still had a great time with Amanda. Very flexible with hours since we were driving in from a far distance and well with communication.
Amanda did a wonderful job with our 12-pound family member! Nala was very nervous and scared but Amanda was very caring, gentle, and patient. She knew what to do to make Nala’s stay as stress-free as possible.
Caring and kind lady who obviously loves animals. Amanda was attentive and sweet to my menagerie of fur babies while I was out of town. She’s an excellent communicator and asked all the right questions.
