Professional Dog Trainer & Sitter

Pet care experience

Hello and welcome to my profile! NOTE: My availability has changed. If you want to board your dog with me, please make sure to let me know if they can be left unsupervised for a work shift. My other dogs will remain home with them and they have full access to food, water, shelter, and the yard. I can check in on them during my lunch. First I'd like to note that I am insured through NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF PROFESSIONAL PET SITTERS. The ONLY national non-profit organization for professional pet sitters. My animal experience is life long. I grew up with a house that had two cats and a dog, which remained that way for many years. After the animals passed, my family agreed to take in more, once again having two cats and a small dog. I also used to work for a pet store, where I was educated and certified in dog behavior and training, and ended up as Head Dog Trainer for that location and trained other Dog Behavior Specialists. I am also a member of the NAPPS (National Association of Professional Pet Services) which helps me continue my education in animal care and safety! I'm a nurturing and firm caretaker. I will follow your instructions explicitly as to how to care for your pet child. I am flexible and adaptable as to what your family requires. For boarding, I have two young and friendly dogs and one cat in my home. The cat stays in the renter's room during the day, and at night he is allowed to roam the house, save my bedroom and outside access. My room has a dog door leading to the securely fenced back yard where our dogs can happily, freely, and safely potty and play when they need to. The dogs are both boys, neutered, malamute mix breeds and love playing with other dogs. I absolutely love animals and will respect the way you want to raise your babies. With my education, I am both patient and understanding as to what the pet and the pet parents requires. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!!! - Amanda

Amanda was just wonderful with Luna! The daily pictures/video updates were so appreciated, and Luna couldn’t have come back any happier! Highly recommend

Amanda was amazing! We booked with her for a short trip to Yakima and felt very comfortable leaving our puppy with her. Her pups were great, and we loved getting an update during the weekend.

I HIGHLY recommend using Amanda to care for your pup! She’s treats your pup like her own. Mine came home happy n completely exhausted every time he visited her home. Her back yard is safe and secure as well.

We needed care for a family emergency and didn't have a lot of time to spare, so we added the drop off service. Amanda picked up our dog, dealt with his medication, and he didn't even go on his usual hunger strike. We didn't get to meet her, so I sent a lot of texts and she was very responsive. This was my first time to use Rover and everything went very well.
