Our Best Friend Too!
Pet care experience
Our family loves dogs and recently lost our long time chihuahua. We are not able to take on a new pet right now, but it want to expand our "family" of dogs and get our dog fix while helping you out. We have experience in caring for dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. My husband has experience handling pit bulls and I grew up with a great dane... but we also love and miss our 10 lb chihuahua and appreciate the needs of smaller dogs. We have recently enjoyed the spirit of adolescent dogs/puppies in our care while maintain the patience for the needs of aging pups. Our family is an otherwise pet free household, but we have a dog loving 8-year-old son who loves having animals around is looking forward to walks, fetch, and cuddles (giving and receiving!)
Reviews
Amanda, Tommy and Eli took wonderful care of our beloved Buddy. They provided outstanding communication, long walks, play time, a very happy and nurturing home and the one-on-one snuggles Buddy loves. We are very appreciative of A, T and E for opening their home to us and hosting during our trip!
Amanda, Tamas, and their son took amazing job of our dog, Indy. They took him for walks, brought to the dog park, and had lots of cuddles in the evening.
Amanda and her family took excellent care of our dog for an extended stay. Amanda was professional, easy to communicate with, and truly made our dog feel like part of their family. I received many photos and updates during the month long stay. Amanda took our dog on lots of long walks and her son even taught her a new trick! Our dog looked right at home and we felt at ease knowing she was being so well cared for.
Amanda and her family were perfect and took excellent care of our pup. Great communication, frequent updates, and an overall positive experience.
About Amanda & Tamas B.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We are open to crated or uncrated dogs and will do our best to make your best friend feel like they are not just our best friend, but a part of our family. We do not have a fenced in yard, but we live right on a path for easy and often walks and if you feel safe with your dog on our deck, we often will leave the door open while we are home for it to come and go to get a little outside time. We are also willing to use a lead in the yard if it is something your dog is used to. We love dogs of all sizes and ages are understand the importance of accommodating your requests around care, feeding, medication, play, etc. We do ask that your pet is comfortable on wood floors and also is okay walking leashed on a path where there are other walkers and dogs.

Information Amanda & Tamas B. would like to know about your pet
Any information about your pet that is important for you to share with us, please do. We would appreciate knowing if you are comfortable with the dog being on our closed deck that is not a full story up so near to the ground (we don't want any escapees!). We also would like to know how well it walks on a leash and if you are comfortable with our 8 year-old holding the leash while supervised? Are you okay with us going to an off leash dog park? Are you okay with us taking your pet on a boat?
A typical day
We like to let the dogs that are with us take the lead! We understand that different dogs have different needs, tolerances and preferences and want to meet your pet where it is. Our ideal dog guest likes walks, plays fetch and still wants to cuddle on the couch.

Availability
We want to make your dog feel like it is just at home! I am typically out of the home between 9-4, but will plan to accommodate midday walks by working at home or keeping my schedule flexible when caring for your pet. If we are out and about at a pet friendly event and your pet has a tolerance for it, we would love to take them along and have them enjoy new experiences! We took our chihuahua on many road trips and even on a month long trip to Mexico so love to have our pet along side us whenever possible. I walk 3 miles 3-4x week and would love to have a walking buddy!
