Reliable & Attentive Dog Care ⭐
Hi, I'm austin-native Amanda! I've had dogs my entire life and have been the primary caregiver for my own dog, Bug, since he was a puppy. He's now 8 years old, so I've experienced every stage of a dog's life from energetic puppy days to establishing routines and adapting to changing needs as they get older. I currently have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. Whether your dog enjoys playing, exploring on walks, or simply relaxing, I'm happy to tailor their care to what makes them happiest. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure, shaded fenced dog park at my apartment for safe outdoor time, and during the Texas summer I plan activities around the heat with shorter walks, shade, water breaks, and indoor play when needed. I know how much our pets mean to us because I feel the same way about Bug. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, dependable hands.

Ratings and reviews
Amanda was quick to help out in a pinch and always spent more than the required amount of time with my pup. Would book again!
Amanda was an amazing sitter for Sally! She was prompt, communicative, kind, and sent the best playtime photos. I felt completely comfortable trusting her with Sally, and her pricing was great. She is easily the best sitter I’ve found on Rover so far, and I’ll definitely be booking her again often!
I have known Amanda most of her life and one constant in that entire time is her love for pets. Her own pets and the pets of others. She has cared for our dogs when we leave town on numerous occasions and not once has there been an issue with anything that she could not take care of. In all my experiences with her, she has always been attentive and in tune with my pets and is a responsible and trustworthy person as well. She is also an amazing pet owner who regularly puts her dog's well-being above her own. As someone who is close to her, I can attest that caring and being responsible for her own dog has enriched her life immeasurably. Amanda is unequivocally well suited to care for anyone's pets.

Schedule
I currently have a very flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home, so I have plenty of time to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. My own dog, Bug, keeps me on a consistent routine, and I enjoy getting outside for walks and making sure dogs get the attention and exercise they need. I'm available for daytime care, walks, drop-in visits, and can often accommodate evenings and weekends with advance notice.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a secure, fenced dog park at my apartment with plenty of shade, so dogs have a safe place to go outside without spending too much time on hot pavement during the Texas summer. There's also plenty of space and toys to play with in my nice airconditioned apartment. :) I know every dog has different routines and needs, so I'm happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, crating, or any other care preferences. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll treat them with the same attention and care I give my own dog, Bug.

A typical day
Every dog is different, so I like to tailor activities to their personality and energy level. Whether your pup loves to play fetch, cuddle on the couch, explore on walks, or just relax, I'm happy to match their routine. During the Austin summer, I prioritize safety with shorter walks in shaded areas, plenty of water breaks, and indoor play when it's too hot outside. My goal is for every dog to have fun while staying happy, comfortable, and safe.
