Leaving a pet in the care of other's while away can be very stressful. While it is less so if the pet is able to stay in their own home you are always concerned about the care giver you select to take care of your pet(s). In the 40+ years I have had to make these types of arrangements I can say without reservation that having Amanda take care of our cat proved to be a rare gift; that of peace of mind. She also picked up our mail, checked for package deliveries left at the front door, and was very consciousness about handling the house alarm systems and minutia such as ensuring lights were not left on, etc. She never hesitated to call with a question if she had one. She has common sense, something I find lacking in so many. And most importantly, she loves animals. You can't go wrong entrusting Amanda to your pet(s) and home.
