Highlights
Pet care experience
Safe & loving pet care
Hey there! I know how much your pet mean to you, and that’s exactly why I treat every animal I care for like my own. I was a devoted pug parent for 12 years, so I truly understand the love, quirks, and special needs that come with dogs. Beyond my own dog, I’ve also spent time volunteering with rescue dogs in Spain, helping them find their forever homes. From walking and socializing shelter dogs to using social media to connect them with the right families, I’ve seen firsthand how unique and wonderful every dog is. On top of that, friends often trust me to look after their dogs, so I’ve had experience with all kinds of breeds and personalities. Whether it’s keeping a high-energy pup entertained, making sure an older dog gets the extra care they need, or just being a comforting presence while you’re away, I’m here to help. I know leaving your dog in someone else’s care can be a big decision, but I can promise you they’ll get all the love, attention, and belly rubs they deserve. Let’s chat—I’d love to meet your dog!

Ratings and reviews
Amanda was amazing. She gave me a lot of confidence right away, and Bruno absolutely loved her from the moment he met her. She was calm, friendly, and clearly experienced with dogs. It was very reassuring to know he was in such good hands. I would definitely book with Amanda again and highly recommend her.😊
Amanda was amazing as usual, absolutely no problem leaving Riley with her any time!
Amanda looked after Diesel for 5 days for us. We came home to a content dog, and immaculate home. Amanda was polite, respectful and prompt at replying at all times. She kept us up to date with some photos of Diesels walks. Good communication and very professional. Thank you so much Amanda, you were great!
Amanda took such great care of my nervous dog and managed to make Petal feel super comfortable relaxed! Amanda has a lovely, warm personality which dogs love!! Petal only trusts a few people and usually needs a lot of time to trust unfamiliar people but was very happy with Amanda! I highly recommend Amanda to all dog owners!! Will definitely book Amanda again! Petal has a new best friend!
Amanda looked after our collie (Tess) and house-sat for us for several days when we travelled to a familly wedding. She is a lovely person and so pleasant to deal with. After an initial meet, she also visited us to see the house and take Tess for a another walk. It all went really well and we felt Tess could not be in better hands. Our Tess can be a bit quirky at times but they seem to have gotten on really well. Amanda also kindly sent us a few pictures of their walks during her stay and Tess looked really happy. Amanda also left our house as she found it, so a great guest as well. She will be our first choice when we need someone to look after Tess, and we 1would happily recommend her whether for walks or for longer stays
Amanda has been the best sitter we've ever had for our dogs, brilliant from beginning to finish,100% recommended
