Pet care experience

Hey there! My name is Amanda, I’m a wine salesperson and I have a deep love for pups! I have one dog of my own, Theo, who is extremely friendly and playful with other dogs. If your pet needs social time that you can’t always provide, Theo and I are happy to help! If your dog doesn’t do well with other dogs, I’m also happy to come to you instead or keep them separated as needed. I have been around dogs my entire life and used to foster dogs for local shelters as well. I have experience with training and teaching dogs basic tricks and manners. I am accepting of all breeds and sizes, and just ask that your pet is dog-friendly and potty trained if they are to come over and hangout with us! It will be my goal to make sure your dog leaves happier than when they came. I look forward to meeting your sweet fur babies! PLEASE make sure your pet is UP TO DATE on grooming (especially nails!), vaccinations, and flea and tick medicine. I’ve had a couple of bad experiences and need to make sure I’m only allowing pets in my home that are safe & healthy! Thank you in advance I pride myself in providing my dogs structure and a set schedule. We get up at 7:30 every morning (after a few snuggles) for breakfast, then we go for a long walk. Before I head to work often take them to the dog park to work out some more of their energy. They then spend the day with my fiancé while I’m gone. We have dinner around 8pm, after our evening walk.

Amanda is a great communicator with text, photos and videos. This was the first time our older dog has been to Amanda's house and she made him quit comfortable. I would say he made himself at home.

Amanda was awesome. She took great care of our dog while we were away. She also handled Molly's unexpected behavior towards her own dog with kindness and compassion. Thanks again Amanda!

Amanda was great! She was communicative and sent us adorable photos of our boy throughout his stay. Our boy was treated like family and became best friends with her dog. I truly appreciate how much love he received while we were away!

I realize each pet is different, so I ask the owner help me personalize care for their unique pet! Normally I like to shower pets with love and play, for dogs that are reactive, have resource guarding, anxiety, or special needs, I modify my approach according to the owner’s preference. For me, communication is everything, and I will only do what I know you are comfortable with.

Information Amanda S. would like to know about your pet

I do need to make sure I’m aware of any behavioral struggles, if your dog has any special needs, or if there are any medications that need to be administered during their stay. I also require pets to be up to date on grooming (especially nail trimming), vaccinations, and flea & tick treatment. We’ve had dogs with curled in nails, matted fur, and covered in fleas. I just want to make sure your dog is safe & healthy before entering my home. If you have any questions or concerns I’m happy to discuss those with you.

A typical day

My favorite thing is getting their energy out in the morning because I’ve found they’re much more content for the rest of the day. We’ll go to the park for about an hour, then once they’re tired I take them home. They’ll get a few bones or toys to mess with while they chill out together.

Availability

Currently, since I have a 12 month old son, I am only available to work at my job on the weekends. This allows me to have a much more open schedule for pets. My fiancé and I also share the responsibility of pet sitting, so please inquire about specific dates as we may be able to have someone available at all times according to our schedule for those dates.
