Pet care experience
Aloha, I'm Amanda and I work as a massage therapist, property manager and care giver. I enjoy the company of animals. Over the years, I've had dogs, cats, rats, mice, snakes and fish as pets. I live with my teenage son who thrives with animals in the house. We currently have no pets (our senior cat passed away last May). We cat sit for my sister's orange tabby cats when she leaves town. We dog sit for a friend's black lab (Molly). We love taking Molly on walks through lighthouse field and watching her run and play at the local dog parks. My teenage son helps me care for the animals and he loves it when we host a dog. Rover is a great way for us to have animals in our home again.
Reviews
We are so grateful! Amanda and her son took such great care of our boy and sent us updates and pictures throughout the day. We knew he was in such good hands all day and were able to relax and have a good time on our trip. Highly recommend! 🐶💕
Amanda took great care of Charlie, and always kept me updated with pictures of what Charlie was doing. Thank you so much for taking care of our puppy at such short notice. I will definitely book Amanda again if we are ever back in Santa Cruz
Amanda was so communicative and flexible. We got multiple photos throughout the day, and they took Auggie on a 4 mile hike. She and her son took great care of our dog! We will definitely work with them again next time we’re in town!
Amanda is the best! I had to travel a lot in 2021-2022 and she took care of my cat Oliver and my lab mix Molly. Usually for 5-6 days at a time but on one occasion she cared for them for over 3 weeks. They are older and need some TLC. She cared for my dog Molly at her own house which has a well-fenced backyard. I would definitely use her service again!

Information Amanda S. would like to know about your pet
I'd like the know how your dog does on walks. Are they leash trained. Do they enjoy playing with other dogs at dog parks. What is the personality of the dog. Do they like to run off leash at the dog beach or should they always be kept on a leash? Things of that nature.
A typical day
We love walking through light house field. We can visit dog beach if the dog enjoys that vibe. We can walk on the trails at blue ball park and the river levy. We also like the dog park at Meder St.
