Your pups home away from home!
Pet care experience
Hello! I am a stay at home mom. I have been a pet sitter for 9 years! I've also worked in a doggy daycare. I'm very familiar with older dogs, high energy and pets with special needs. I adore all animals and I love being able to help out. Dogs are way more than just pets, they're family! Your pup will definitely be treated as family. I also send photos and an update daily. You'll always know how your furry friend is doing and what he/she is up to! I offer individualized one on one care if requested. I understand some dogs might prefer a more one-on-one setting. If that sounds like your dog then definitely let me know. I also care for dogs that enjoy having other dogs around to play with. I watch no more than three dogs at a time. Normally I only have 1 or 2 dogs in my care at the same time. My home is never crowded and I do not overbook if my spaces are filled already. In regards to your pet safety, your pup will always be leashed when taken outside. I do not leave my home for long periods of time while I am caring for your pet. Unless your dog comes with a kennel, I will not kennel him/her. I will not feed or give your pet anything they did not come with. That is just simply due to allergies, I would feel horrible if your pup got sick! Your furry family member will always be supervised while in my care! The safety and well being of your pet is one of my top priorities! My children have been around dogs and cats since they were babies. They understand that dogs are not to be pulled on, sat on, or disrespected physically ( or verbally) in any way. One thing I stress in my household is respect for all animals and of course people. I live in a house with a unfenced yard. Your pup will always be leashed when outside in the yard. I love going for daily walks and hikes (depending on weather) if your pup is up for it, they can come too! I offer discounts on extended stays longer than 2 weeks. I'll Pick up/ drop off if you need it. You can drop off as early as 4:30 am and pick up as late as 8:00 pm. I totally understand flights get delayed sometimes and also unexpected weather delays. Price is negotiable on drop-in visits to your home.
Reviews
This was my first time leaving my dog and Amanda was great! She sent so many cute pictures of Coby and updates every day. He had a great time at her house and we will definitely use Amanda again. Thank you so much for taking good care of my puppy, Amanda 😊
Amanda was a dream come true! She provided amazing care to our two pups for an entire week. She communicated on a regular basis and shared pictures -- both which were very appreciated! I will definitely use her again!
I enjoyed meeting Amanda and so did my pups! She was wonderful with them and they were very happy and well cared for! We look forward to having Amanda care for them again! Highly recommend!
Amanda is wonderful. Our dog loves to stay with her! She is great at communicating with us.

I take extra precautions in my home to ensure the safety of your pet. That means making sure there is no way for your pup to accidentally run out the door and ensuring that your pup only eats the food they come with ( no human food or anything that might cause an allergic reaction). Your dog will always be leashed outside. Your fur babies care is my top priority!

Information Amanda S. would like to know about your pet
Does your furry friend have any special needs? How long does your pup enjoy going for a walk? Your pet's everyday routine. Is your dog friendly with other dogs?
A typical day
There are trails in the area that I'd love to take your dog to if they're up for it ( if you're ok with that of course). I'm home all day, unless I have to run to the grocery store. Whenever I'm pet sitting, I make sure I'm home the majority of that stay.
