Pet care experience
Will love your dog like my own
Like most on here I’m just a huge dog lover. I lost my own sweet pup early August 2025, so when possible I try to fill that void. My sweet boy was a rescue and a true hellion of a rescue at that (but also the cutest angel obviously). Because of him specifically, I am super hyper aware of runners, flight risks, reactivity, etc. Those traits can be stressful and overwhelming, but I always meet that with patience and understanding. Leaving your animal even to go to work can be tough for some folks and those animals- I would love to make it easy for yall. I have experience with high energy dogs all the way to senior dogs who can only walk one block max.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
You and your pups preferences are what’s most important. Everyone parents a little different. You tell me what the routine is, likes/dislikes, triggers, obsessions, fave snacks, and we’ll go from there. In my personal experience using dog sitters, safety and comfort of the dog is priority. I don’t do dog parks at all. I trust you know your dog, and believe you when you say they love the dog park; however, I don’t trust other dogs and their owners. For everyone’s safety, we’ll avoid the dog park.
Ratings and reviews
Amanda did an excellent job caring for our boys. She was very attentive, sent many pictures and updates, and gave them so much attention and love! One of our dogs has severe arthritis and requires Keppra - she handled his help me up harness like a pro and was comfortable giving his meds. She left the house clean which we appreciated. We look forward to working with Amanda again in the future!
Archie had a wonderful time with Amanda. He's an older dog and he appreciated her extra snuggles, along with his usual walks. Amanda shared pictures and updates regularly. She's an ideal sitter, and we would definitely book her again!
Amanda is the best! I am so happy that Winnie was able to stay with such a caring and thoughtful sitter. So many great pictures and updates so I always felt up to date on how Winnie was. Highly recommend!
Amanda is truly the best! She kept me updated consistently throughout the day which made me feel very comfortable as I was on the other side of the world. Winnie had the best time with her and I had the easiest time chatting with Amanda. Would highly recommend and will of course be booking Amanda again!
Lenny loves Amanda! She takes great care of him and is super responsive in advance and day of. Thank you, Amanda!!
Amanda did a great job house sitting. Lenny was very happy to see her again and was well taken care of throughout the day.

Schedule
I work a hybrid job (nonprofit social work) but am home more often than not and if I am in the office it’s only for a few hours. With that, I have free time throughout the day because the schedule is so flexible.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsDogs over 1 year oldAmanda can host up to 1 drop-in per day
- For safety reasons I want to know any triggers your dog has, along with any behavior concerns. Reactive in a hyper way or aggressive way? Do they eat everything off the ground? Are they a runner if off leash? If your dog is trained with any particular cues or words that is always helpful as well!
