I'm a full-time college student getting my degree online in psychology. I'm home all the time and love to cuddle with fur babies. I'm a home body so don't travel or go places very often.

Information Amanda S. would like to know about your pet

I am happy to accommodate special needs or senior pets. I always ask if pets have certain house rules they need to follow (for example if they aren't allowed on furniture) as to follow the same structure. Also if they can or can not have bones or rawhides, as I enjoy spoiling the babies in my home but want to ensure they are safe!

A typical day

While in my home, pets get lots of love and cuddles! I play with them several times a day. When I got for a run, I'll bring any pup that enjoys a good walk!

Our young dog enjoyed his time with Amanda and her family. We booked for nine days, and in the end did not know if Georgie would remember us. While he seemed to have a great time on Amanda's farm, in our reunion, he did remember us. We are very pleased with the care he received and would trust Amanda again in the future. Thanks Amanda!

Amanda has a great setup that allows for dogs to meet carefully and so bolters can't run out. She sent lots of pictures and Mango came back happy and tired. Thanks for accommodating us at the last minute!

Winnie had a great time and Amanda was so patient even when Winnie decided to show her displeasure of being left. I feel very confident having her watch my fur baby.
