Experienced, professional, excited!
Pet care experience
I have lived with and have taken care of dogs my entire life, from tiny chihuahuas to great danes. I have extensive experience with house training, basic commands, leash manners, and house manners. I also have experience working in professional dog care facilities, as well as with senior and special needs canines. I love dogs, and would love to give your pup a safe, great time, while also brushing up on basic training and manners. My goal is to get a pup excited to come back, happily tired when they get home, both mentally and physically! Also - I LOVE taking pics of your pups and sending them, as well as giving updates often. It makes me happiest when I know that you, as a pup parent, are comfortable and happy with your dog's experience!
Reviews
Amanda was amazing. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is very caring and accommodating. She loves and is passionate for dogs that resembles in the way she treats them. Outstanding communication in following up to clarify any questions and concerns. She would go the extra mile, which is the biggest reason why she is amazing.
I have known Amanda her whole life and she loves animals more than anyone I know. She is so gentle, kind and patient with them. Amanda grew up with surrounded by German Shepherds and she recently adopted Chance, a male pit-mix, who is the love of her life! Amanda will take the best care of your dog...I think she enjoys the company of dogs more than the company of people! ??

Information Amanda S. would like to know about your pet
I am willing to take on any breed, no questions asked. However, I do need to know if your dog has history of aggressive behavior, whether with animals or humans. Depending on the circumstances, this isn't always a deal-breaker, but I need to know for safety reasons. Also, I need to know feeding schedules/amounts, and potty schedules (if specific). I need to know of any medication, allergies, injuries, special needs, and other requirements/needs specific to your dog. I would also love to know what your dogs favorite activities are, what they don't like, if they are active or not, high-energy, etc., that way we can make the most out of our time together!
A typical day
We go on walks through Inwood, at the Inwood Park, as well as sometimes travelling to different locations to play (depending on dog size). I love to take long walks with energetic pups, teaching them leash manners and letting them release some energy, before going to the dog park. But if that isn't your dog's style, I also have countless toys and games at home for pups of any size, and love to teach the occasional trick if the dog is up to it. I also would love to relax with a pup that is perhaps more sedentary for whatever reason. What we do is ALWAYS flexible with each dog, but they'll always have fun in a safe, experienced environment!
