Come play, I'm home all day!

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm a former biology teacher turned stay-at-home Mom. Our house is a doggy paradise - big fenced yard, shady deck, kiddie pool, two dog-loving kids and two French Bulldogs to romp with, and I'm home full time to play with and supervise your pets. I dogsit for just one family at a time in my home to keep a calm and homey atmosphere. Since we have a toddler, our house is kid (and puppy) proof. I've cared for all types of animals from fish and reptiles to dogs (large and small), even birds and horses. I'm a responsible, loving pet owner and will happily provide a safe, fun place for your dogs to hang out when you need to be away. We are conveniently located right on County Road MM, so drop-offs and pick-ups are super easy! I'm familiar with raw feeding, can give medications, and am happy to continue your house rules here for your pup's comfort and consistency. Feel free to contact me with any questions!

Amanda and her family provided excellent care for our Luna. Luna is a high-energy 14+month old puppy that needs lots of love and attention and she got that. Amanda was so professional and prepared in asking the right questions about Luna (e.g. commands, amount of food she usually eats), so we felt so comfortable leaving her with Amanda and her family. Amanda definitely delivers great service and feedback (found out our Luna needs a little more work with the command "Leave It"). If you want to have your pet stay with someone that cares, provides excellent service and a loving home, Amanda exceeds expectations.

Amanda did amazing with Daisy! We got updates on how Daisy was doing during her stay. Daisy got along great with Amanda's dog Ellie.

Information Amanda W. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if your dog is friendly with other dogs and children, as we have two kids under age four and two energetic French Bulldogs. Our Frenchies are excited when meeting new people and dogs, so a dog that wants to play and doesn't mind being asked to play is a bonus. They are high intensity with play, so they tend to match best with easy-going and laid back pups. When the Frenchies aren't playing tug or romping in the backyard, they are snuggled on the couch with us. I'm home to take dogs out as often as needed. Crates are welcome but not necessary.

A typical day

We have a large fenced yard (6', cedar privacy), an array of toys, and a big grassy park behind our house. I am outside multiple times a day playing soccer, chuck-it, fetch, or refilling the puppy pool with the dogs. I love to walk dogs for exercise. Our Frenchies can do about 4 miles walking around town. We have a dog friendly SUV if your dog needs a ride. Our favorite dog activities are walks, chuck-it, tug with ropes, soccer and napping.
