Pet care experience

Lots of time and love to give...

I've been a dog owner for over 20 years and was a foster parent for a San Diego based rescue group for over 3. I currently volunteer as a dog walker at a local Southern Maryland rescue and also foster with them as well. Our family has cared for, trained and assisted with the adoption of many different breeds from small to large and all ages, puppies less than 12 weeks included. In addition we puppy raise and train service dogs for a non-profit organization based out of NY. Pets bring so much love and joy to our lives and deserve the best care when we are away. I can promise they will receive the same love and attention as if you were home yourself. Current pet is a 13 year old yellow lab and pointer mix that we've had since he was 12 weeks old. He loves long walks, swimming in any body of water and snuggling with his cat brother, Tucker. In addition we have a 2 year old beagle that nothing but fun. References are available upon request.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced yard, friendly pups, a dog room and plenty of crates. We often crate and rotate to make sure our pups get enough one on one and would do the same for yours.

Amanda was so great at looking after our two cats for a week. She sent great updates so I knew they were okay every day.

Amanda and her daughter Tenley are great with my dog Shelby. Amanda is very communicative about what happens during each visit and she asks questions about how I want Shelby to be cared for and the house rules. She is very loving and follows Shelby’s doggie cues. Both she and her daughter have lots of doggie experience. I would highly recommend Amanda and Tenley.

Amanda was a wonderful kitty sitter. She was very attentive to all kitties, providing extra attention to a senior kitty. Followed feeding and cleaning instructions carefully. Very trustworthy and reliable.
