Pet care experience

Safe & cozy

Your dog deserves more than just a place to stay. Hi, I’m Amanda! With over 30 years of hands-on animal care as a lifelong horse owner and experienced pet sitter, I know that leaving your dog isn’t just an errand, it’s an act of trust. My goal is to make that easy. Your pup will never be just “watched” here. I work from home, have a helper on hand, and keep things small so every dog gets real attention, real playtime, and real companionship, not a kennel number. What your dog’s stay actually looks like: A sprawling fenced yard. A spacious dog run with indoor access. A covered patio for any weather. A dedicated dog room for play or downtime. Hikes and swimming trips for the adventurous ones. And if your dog needs quiet, they get that too. I’m also trained in pet first aid and dog behavior, so if something comes up, you’re not hoping for the best. You’re covered. My own dogs are calm and well-mannered. My cats are dog-friendly, and I’ll separate them if needed. Your dog’s comfort always comes first. You should go on your trip without guilt. That’s what I’m here for.

Was a phenomenal caretaker! Worth every penny I spent just to give my dog a vacation. Took several outings and came back washed and clean and so happy. These people have truly found a calling in life caring for dogs. Have already recommended them to others. Thanks for taking such good care of Boof!!

Amanda was wonderful! She took great care of my dog, sent me lots of pictures and videos, and my dog had the best time. I will definitely use her again.

Our German Wirehaired Pointer had a great time. Loved that I got photos and/video of her every day. She looked like she was living her best life with trips to the pond and sleeping each night in house with new friends. Was such a relief to know our girl was well taken care of while we traveled. We’ll have her stay there again!

Our dog had a fantastic stay with Amanda. She went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable and engaged. Thank you so much! We’ll book again when we’re in that part of the state again.

Amanda allowed me to feel so comfortable boarding Theo for the first time! She was so communicative and professional! 10/10 would recommend, especially if you have big dogs!

Pets

A typical day

I LOVE taking all my visiting dogs on outings. In the summer we make weekly trips to a near by pond or lake for swimming & stick throwing. A kiddy pool is provided outside in the shade. During the coldest part of winter we all go for runs through some near by rural areas. If pups are good off leash they also get to join on trail rides with the horses and really burn off steam. Ball throwing is a regular activity in our home. Shed antlers are often handed off to pups.

Please let me know what kinds of things your pet is uncomfortable with so they don’t become unnecessarily stressed as well as any medical conditions they may have. We request that bowls (unless an animal requires a slow feeder), leashes & dog beds be left at home. We are full service and don’t want to risk loss or damage to any of your personal things.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
