Dogs are a passion of mine

I am a mental health therapist and have a therapy dog I trained to go to work with me. He is a lab mix. I have a retired therapy and he is either volunteering or laying on the porch. I have a purebred old English bulldog around 3 and she is still a lot of puppy. I have had dogs for around 22 years and view them as family. I also feel that dogs like to have a job and it helps them. I love serving and dogs, so this is the best combo!

Amanda was great with our pups! She gave them lots of attention and definitely over and above expectations. So glad we found her! 😃

I have known Amanda for years and have trusted her entirely with helping care for my own dogs. I am one who only trusts very few people around my dogs. Amanda knows dogs very well. She is a great trainer as well. She loves all dogs, not just her own. She will treat them as her own. She’s reliable, dependable, and knowledgeable about dogs and cats as well. I highly recommend her!!!

Amanda loves her dogs and treats my dogs like her own. She has a safe and welcoming attitude and environment. When a plan is made for her to walk or care for my dogs, she always follows through and more. She sends me fun updates and pictures so I know all is well. My dogs are well exercised and cared for with Amanda.

I have taken care of senior dogs. One of my dogs goes to work with me and we volunteer several times a year. I am familiar with giving meds. It’s important to know how the dogs responds to environment and other dogs. What scares the dog and gets them excited
