I have a fenced porch and live in a duplex apartment. I do have a cat in the apartment but she is timid and typically stays to herself. There are lots of parks nearby for dogs to play or be walked in.

Exceptional Pet Care for Furry Pals

Pet care experience

I've walked dogs (both my own and friends/customers) for the last few years. I've also previously owned my own dog for a few years. I'm able to keep your pups healthy, happy and well cared for while you are away. I am happy to provide walks, brush their hair, maintain routines, administer medication and feed. I promise to treat your dogs like they are my own.

Amanda was great with our kitty as always! We got lots of pics and he was excited to see her daily!

Amanda was recommended to me by a neighbor and shes very caring and sweet. She walks my dog sometimes if my regular walker is unavailable. She’s reliable and Ro always enjoys his time with her.

Amanda is great with our 2 cats! She is gentle and caring and is always on time when we need her. She always makes sure to spend time with our kitties, even when we book her to just drop by for a feeding/litter change. We always reach out to Amanda when we need a cat sitter, you should as well.

Amanda is my regular cat sitter and has been for a few years now! My cat, Scrappy is pretty grumpy (as most orange cats are) and we have had many issues with other cat sitters, but he LOVES Amanda! We always panic a bit if she’s unavailable (this is rare). She also brushes him for us since she knows it’s not my favorite thing to do. She is an absolute cat lover and you can tell in the way she cares for our Scrappy. I highly recommend her, you won’t be disappointed!
