Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets like they’re my own—with love, routine, and a calm environment. I have a friendly 4 year old Australian Shepard to keep your puppy busy. I have a fully fenced-in yard, perfect for safe outdoor play. Pets in my home get plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles, along with a quiet space to relax when they need it. I keep things clean, stress-free, and tailored to each pet’s needs.

Information Amanda V. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting, it’s important to know each pet’s personality, health needs, and routines. This includes any allergies, medications, favorite toys, energy level, social preferences, and any fears or triggers. Knowing their feeding schedule and bathroom habits also helps me provide consistent and comfortable care tailored just for them.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy and active with a mix of fun activities like outdoor walks, playtime with their favorite toys, and games like fetch or tug-of-war. For pups who enjoy mental stimulation, I also use puzzle toys and training exercises to keep their minds sharp. Plus, plenty of cuddle time and belly rubs to make sure they feel loved and relaxed!

Paws-itively Passionate About Pets

Pet care experience

I've cared for everything from energetic puppies who need consistent training and socialization, to senior dogs who require patience, medication, and gentle movement.Whether it’s a zoomie-filled play session or a slow stroll with an older pup, I adjust to each dog’s pace and personality. At the end of the day, I treat every pet like they’re my own.

Amanda was great! We wanted the dogs to get exercise and be tired and she did just that: played fetch the whole time! She has an Aussie herself so we had no doubts she knew what she was doing. Will definitely book again!
