Safety, trust & environment

Meet and greets with myself and your fur babe are ALWAYS necessary. Not all animals will get along with every human they meet. At the end of the day, your pet’s trust, security and happiness are what is most important.

Information Amanda S. would like to know about your pet

The more information I have on your pup the better! Tell me all their quirks, likes and dislikes. Have they had any recent injuries I need to be aware of? What’s their favorite activity? What type of treats are they allowed or not allowed to have?

A typical day

Most pets enjoy their routines. If that mean's walking your neighborhood for the sniffs or just playing in the yard. Whatever you and your fur babe are most comfortable with! Whatever your preference, we will always have fun!

Pet care experience

I started volunteering at my local animal shelter back in 2008 through around 2013. I always loved seeing all the animals find their forever homes! I became a cat mom of 2 in 2011. Scratch and Ziggy! They have both since passed over the rainbow bridge.. Two totally different personalities. But they both brought so much joy into my life and will forever miss them!! Skip to 2018 when we adopted a dog from the very animal shelter I used to volunteer at back in the day. His name is Puppy! :) I never thought I could connect with a dog so much in my life. He is now 7 years old and is the king of our household! And he sure knows it too!! I also worked at dog daycare for a short time in western NY before moving out of state in 2024. It truly was the best job! Seeing just how different every pup is from one another. Being able to play and cuddle for a job was the best experience!

Amanda is the best! She is always on time, super easy going and flexible, responsive, and kind! She has made having a puppy so easy while we are at work. She has not only been great for us, but our puppy absolutely adores her. Thank you as always Amanda!
