Safety, trust & environment

Since I coached (Track) for 30+ years I've been background checked, fingerprinted and bonded by several institutions including USATF and the Folsom-Cordova School District. I am First Aid and Safe Sport compliant. I prefer to watch pets at a client's Folsom (or nearby) home as I have two dogs of my own to care for. If a dog is great with other dogs, they may be welcome to come to my house; I have a fully fenced backyard and would be present 100% of the time.

As always, Amanda is thoughtful and caring. True blessing we found her on Rover and have been able to book her several times to care for our beloved cats.

Amanda was absolutely wonderful! She's warm, considerate, and truly cares about the pets she looks after. We left our four cats in her care for 10 days while we were on our honeymoon in Greece, and she went above and beyond. Since one of our cats requires insulin injections, Amanda made sure to visit twice a day. She kept us updated with detailed reports and photos of our cats every day, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our cats quickly got accustomed to her visits, and it was clear they were in great hands. Thanks to Amanda, we were able to fully relax on our trip, knowing our fur babies were well cared for. We’ll definitely be relying on her again for future trips!

Amanda is awesome! She took great care of our girl while we were out of the country and sent us updates and pictures. Our pup loves her and was excited when she came to visit. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!

Amanda did a great job with a variety of things asked of her. Some were complicated but she did a great job. I can tell she loves animals.

Schedule

I'm newly retired from my job as a magazine publisher, I have a super flexible schedule. I love animals and have often needed pet sitters so I know it can be a challenge to find someone trustworthy.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Amanda can host up to 1 drop-in per day
Any health or dietary issues they may have, if they are friendly with other pets or children or strangers. Knowing their feeding/exercise/sleeping schedule is very important so that life stays as normal for them as possible while their people are away.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
