Safety, trust & environment

Right now I’m not offering services in my house because I have an older dog with vision and health issues. She is more of a people loving dog! At the clients house I will make sure your dog gets plenty of affection and play time. I will try my best to keep them on their normal schedule with potty breaks and meal times. Please make sure to tell me all your dogs favorite things!

Information Amanda S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you’re dog is on any medication, has special needs and what things scare them. This way if your dog is scared of storms I can make sure I’m there to help comfort them.

A typical day

If you have a fenced yard I make sure your dog has plenty of time running around to get their energy out by playing ball or just letting them smell around. If it’s hot outside we would limit play time outside and play with toys inside. Older dogs I would give them all the attention and cuddles they want.

Pet care experience

I’ve been a pet owner since I was 19. I have experience giving medication with my own dogs and worked at a dog boarding place in the past. I promise to love on your dog like they are my own.

I had 2 cats with special needs, requiring feeding twice a day and an insulin shot. Mandy was the person I called on to always take care of them when I was out of town, as she was wonderful with them and I completely trusted her. My cats loved people attention and Mandy always took time to play with them. Like most cats they could be skittish around people they didn’t know but they loved Mandy. As well, the litter boxes were always well kept. I would absolutely recommend Mandy as a pet caregiver. She’s the best!
