Reliable care when you’re not there
Pet care experience
**Please note- I had an active pet care business prior to 2020, but passed my services when most of my clients began working from home. I have since moved and done other things, but I am eager to start back up! I have spent over a decade caring for internationally competitive horses, and I will care for your animal friends to the same standards I set for my horses! I offer kind, patient, and level headed care, from the littlest of puppies to the most stately of elderdogs! In fact, old dogs are my specialty and my favorite! In my care, your dog will get care specific to his needs and routine. There is no “one walk fits all” with me! Whether it’s a slow amble down the street, a brisk walk around the park, or 30 minutes of B-A-L-L, I will give your dog the the time and attention YOU would give! Let’s work together to give your dog happy and fun outings and sleepovers!! **A few key details regarding my services** Dog Walking: - We will walk rain or shine, as long as it is safe to do so. If it is actively storming with lightning and/or high winds, or high heat and humidity is a factor, walks will be shortened and we'll spend the remainder of our time playing or snuggling inside or out in the backyard. - For safety reasons, dogs will only be walked on standard leashes. No retractable leashes will be used. I can provide my own if you do not have one. - I highly recommend martingale type collars or well fitting harnesses for walks instead of plain flat collars, particularly if your dog is prone to collar slipping.

Reviews



Amanda was great! Took care of our kitties and sent me updates each time with pictures. Was very flexible and accommodating to our needs. Thank you Amanda!

So appreciative of Amanda’s care for our pup and the quality time she spends with him while we can’t be there. We know he absolutely loves her visits and walks!
Amanda was great!!! As a coast guard pilot I had an urgent need for a great dog sitter! I would recommend Amanda any day!

Amanda always does such a great job with my kitties. From the first time she met them, she has taken care of them like they were her own, which is not an easy task since one hates everyone but me. Amanda is patient and attentive- she goes above and beyond what I ask of her. She makes me feel so relaxed when I have to travel for work. That peace of mind is priceless!

I am always mindful coming in and out of houses to prevent door dashing. I will only walk dogs on standard leashes (I can provide if you don't have one), and HIGHLY recommend martingale collars or well fitting harnesses over flat collars to prevent collar slipping. We will walk rain or shine, but we will shorten walks if it is actively storming with thunder and lightening, or if there is high heat and humidity. We will fill the rest of our walk time with playing (or hanging out, if your pet is on the lazy side) indoors or in the backyard!
Information Amanda T. would like to know about your pet
Spare no details, please! I am comfortable around dogs of all temperaments, and most warm up to me quickly, but you can help us become friends faster by telling me all about them. Are they shy and like to take their time sniffing me out? Are they a bowling ball of love and need me to be to the chill one upon meeting so they don't go bonkers? Tell me everything! I am all ears and know all about what it's like to geek out on everything we love about our best friends.
A typical day
Every dog is different! I will tailor our outings together to what best suites your pal. Long walks around the neighborhood? Let me lace up my sneakers! Hours of frisbee or ball? Just let me warm up my pitching arm! A gentle amble around the yard then a snooze in the sun? I'll bring the sunscreen and the water! Your cats aren't forgotten, either. Whether you've got a snugglebug or an aloof member of kitty royalty, I'll spend the time with them they expect and deserve.
