Pet care experience
I am a pilot at Patrick space Force base and fly with my HC-130J squadron and would love to board your pup in my home (in EGAD) to include my big back yard! I can’t think of a more fun way to spend my time than to play with your furry friends! I love the idea of getting exercise, meeting new pups (and all other animals), and meeting new clients. My husband, who works from home, assists me in caring for your furry friends when I have to fly at the base and has also been taking care of dogs with me on Rover for the past 10 years in Florida, Virginia, Germany, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Florida again. I do not yet have a dog of my own only because I don't think it would be fair to them with how much I have had to move in the past 10 years on Active Duty (8x). We do plan to eventually get a new furry addition to our family, but I plan to love on your furry friend/s in the meantime! :) Growing up on a farm in Washington State, I am very familiar/comfortable around animals. My best friend was a chocolate lab named Cocoa and later a yellow lab named Riley. I have been pet sitting either on Rover, Pawshake, or local Facebook groups for almost 10 years now and have had the whole gambit- very old, very young, those that were huge (bull mastiffs and Afghan sheep dogs-look them up so cool and big!) to the small guys that make a cat look big- and all were great experiences! Please consider me to take care of your most loved ones for either a short or long stay! Can't wait!
Reviews
Amanda and Barak were very good with Kirra and our home.
Excellent work, good communication while I was away. Amanda and Barak reported no issues. Overall a good experience for me and happy to have them stay again if willing.
I can’t even begin to express what a lifesaver Amanda is for us. My wife and I just recently moved here for her work. We left everyone we know behind and our poor boy had been suffering from anxiety every time we leave. Amanda stepped in and watched him while we took a much needed trip to Disney, and the care he got could not have been better. She definitely has a way with dogs, and he lost all his anxiety around her almost instantly. Thank you so much! We hope that Amanda is available anytime we want to leave the house and want to know that our boy is in the best of care.
Awesome! Had a great experience with Amanda and Barak! They took great care of our little furry son. Sent pictures and status updates daily. Thanks so much!

I can care for your pet with all the special needs they may have whether it be short term medicine or anything else out of the ordinary. I’ve had it all.
Home
Information Amanda & Barak S. would like to know about your pet
Just what they are used to for their daily routine so that I can mimic that as close as possible. No breed preferences. I do ask that you provide MORE food than what they are used to having on a daily because I have had experiences where the owners flight is delayed or something out of their control and I had to cook chicken and rice for the dog due to running out of food. Please also let me know how they are around other dogs since we might encounter them on our walks.
A typical day
I would most likely take them on walks/runs with me at the beach or in my neighborhood. I love to play fetch, watch them run around, or simply cuddle with them once their energy is exhausted. Once they are pooped, I like to cuddle up in the evening with them and just chill.
