I work third shift so I have flexibility during the day. I enjoy socializing my dog with other animals as she loves having friends. I also enjoy the opportunity to get to know others' animals as I would have a farm if I could!

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, my dog has her own crate where she prefers to be when she is not out socializing with us. My cat roams in and out of the home at his leisure. He normally stays to himself until he’d like a belly rub then comes to find a human. I have gates throughout my house to separate the animals and separate my son from the animals when he just wants to play by himself. I have a fenced in backyard where the dogs can freely roam. My dog likes to go out there on nice warm days. I never leave them alone outdoors. I have multiple bowls I set out for water. I will follow any guidelines listed by the owner and am able to send updates via text/email.

A typical day

I live in a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks. I am also close to a park . We will take multiple walks throughout the day. We will always go into the fenced in backyard where I can throw the ball and let them run safely. It helps having another pup to tire yours out too! For cats I have a quiet area away from the dogs so they feel safe and comfortable. I’ve also gone to owners’ homes to check in on their cats .

ALL FUR BABIES SAFE &WELCOME! ❤️

Pet care experience

I've cared for cats& dogs since as early as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had multiple dogs at a time; therefore, I am very used to caring for multiples and making sure each has their own love and attention! We always had a few cats too! Thus the reason I love caring for all fur babies! I currently have a 4.5 year old female named Stella who is mixed breed (lab&terrier) dog who is spayed. I have a 6 year old male cat who mainly patrols outside our home. Both are treated like my children . I also have a 5 year old son who also loves helping, playing and getting kisses from all the fur babies! My family friends continue to trust me to care for their dogs while they take vacations or have long work days. It is my pleasure to treat your baby as if he/she was my own.

Amanda was great! On time, and Emma (my dog) loved her and I could tell she got a good walk in as she was tired and ready for a nap. I will be booking Amanda again for regular walks soon.

Amanda is an excellent pet sitter! She is attentive, responsive, and cares about your pets ♥️. My dog Boo stayed with her over Memorial Day weekend and he loved it. Highly recommend Amanda for pets sitting.
