Experienced Pet Sitter in Elgin

Pet care experience

Hello my name is Amanda. I currently live with my fiancé in Elgin. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet in your home while you are away. I do work Monday through Friday 8 AM to 4 PM outside of the home. My fiancé is usually home by 3 PM during the week. I have always enjoyed the company of dogs and I have had family dogs since I was 5 years old. I am an active person and would love to take your pet on a long walks, if he/she enjoys them. We have a 9 mile hiking trail behind the house that I would love to take your dog for walks on. Please ask any questions that you may have!

With 4 dogs with a variety of sizes, ages, breeds, and personalities, it is difficult for us to find a reliable dog sitter - but we have found one! Amanda took such great care of our pups while we were away! She sent us updates including pictures and we came back to not only our pups safe, happy and healthy but our house and yard both looked great as well! We will definitely be using Amanda again for our future dog sitting needs :)

We have five dogs and this is the first time we have had someone outside of our family stay with them. From the first meet and greet we could tell that Amanda would be great. We were not disappointed. Everyone was happy and healthy after we returned from our 13 day vacation. We plan on using Amanda again and would recommend her highly to others.

I was very hesitant to leave Caeli with someone other than friends or family - especially outside of her home, because she can sometimes be a handful. This was my first experience with DogVacay, and it was a wonderful one! Amanda and Mike took such good care of Caeli. She was in in very good spirits and seemed well cared for when I picked her up! I will definitely be coming back to Amanda and Mike if I ever need a sitter again. They are amazing!!

Our 5 year old German Shepard mix (Addi) spent 8 days with Amanda and Mike while we went on a family vacation. We had never left Addi with non-family members for so long and were concerned with how she would do, especially since she sometimes doesn't eat when we're away, and we had never used DogVacay before. Amanda took great care of her and gave us some piece of mind. Staying with Amanda was way better for Addi than the alternative - boarding her where she wouldn't get much time outside of a cage. Amanda also sent us a few pictures of Addi enjoying her stay, which we really appreciated. Luckily, Mike was able to work at home a lot, so Addi didn't even see much of her kennel the whole time! We would definitely recommend Amanda to anyone and will certainly be interested in utilizing her for future dog-sitting needs! She was very flexible and easy to work with.
