Enriching the daily lives of pets!
Pet care experience
My name is Amanda, and I have lived here in Fort Collins for nine years. My greatest hobby/passion since moving here is to hike in the beauty that is the Colorado Outdoors. I have a furry family member of my own, and his name is Cooper. I have had Cooper since he was 4 months old, and we just recently celebrated his 13th birthday. He is literally the most important thing in my life, and I have made it my mission to keep him happy, healthy, and strong so that he may live a long life. I hike with him 6-7 days per week, and we are known to go as far as Meeker, CO or as close as Reservoir Ridge; for a minimum of 1 hour, and we have even hiked for a maximum of 7 hours. I love dogs. I love being active. I love putting those two things together to not only feed my own soul, but to feed the souls of all the beautiful dogs out there who deserve nothing more in this world than to exercise their bodies in the sunshine, snow, and rain (and sometimes all of those at once because it IS Colorado after all). I lived on a ranch for a couple of summers where I was a pet sitter for guests who stayed at the ranch and for other co-workers whom I lived and worked with. I would be honored for the chance to meet your furry friend(s) and help out in any way possible. Cooper is also quite fond of cats, and I grew up in a house full of them, so I don't wish to exclusively look after dogs. I have more than enough love to give to all our furry creatures! Thank you so much for your time and consideration!
Reviews
Amanda is great and sends lots of pics while she is with the pups!! I’ve used her twice now and will definitely in the future
Amanda is the BEST dog walker! She takes time with our dog and I know she gives her lots of love and affection because she is able to get our dog to eat while we are out, which won't happen if she is stressed out. She also always gives me helpful updates as to how our dog did on the walk, whether she did her business, and important info like that.
Amanda was everything you’d want in a dog sitter. Responsive to our last minute request, attentive and followed directions to a T. She was super communicative and great with our pup. Looking forward to using her again!
Amanda has walked our dogs a few times now a d we love her! She’s reliable, a great communicator, and is great with our dogs!

I have a front and back fenced-in area. I wouldn't call it a "yard" per se, but there is grass, and it is a convenient way for your pet(s) to relieve themselves and even lay out in the sun. Yards haven't really been necessary for me because I tend to take my dog out on walks daily to get his exercise.

Information Amanda W. would like to know about your pet
I just ask that you leave me with a solid feeding schedule. I do have a dog, and he LOVES eating others' food, so I prefer to schedule my dog's eating schedule around yours that way mine won't be tempted to eat your dog or cat's food.
A typical day
We take our dog out every day for a minimum of an hour. We like to go hiking or just walk around the neighborhood and/or local park area. Car rides are usually necessary to get to the hiking and parks, but I am also more than happy to keep it in the neighborhood where we have a park nearby with a large open area they can roll around and hang out at.
