Highlights
Pet care experience
Rescue foster/Handler/Dog mom
I’m a dog lover with years of experience. I’ve had my own dogs from 2005-2024, but most recently have been fostering for a local rescue. I’ve fostered with Westside German Shepherd Rescue and A Purposeful Rescue, and have experience with senior dogs, medical needs, reactive dogs, all sizes (from toy to giant), and run a structured, tight ship! I grew up with Boxers, my own dogs were terriers and a German Shepherd, and most recently I fostered a sweet Belgian Malinois. There are no full-time pets in my home, but since I foster, there may be overlap on a case by case basis.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Amanda is highly trained and knowledgable with all breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs. She is very skilled in adapting to various temperaments while being observant and aware of different needs that dogs in her care express to her. My mini schnauzer loves going to visit her "Auntie Amanda", and when I recently had a medical emergency, my hospital stay was a thousand times less stressful knowing that my baby was safe and well cared for so I was able to focus on my health. Amanda has been an incredible foster mom to many wonderful rescues over the years, and I often seek training advice from her due to her vast experience.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is paramount with me. My building’s courtyard is fenced, and I utilize crate training and separate rooms when multiple dogs are in my care. I carry pepper spray on walks, am hyper vigilant of my surroundings, and as a “Type A” person :D follow owner instructions to the letter.
