Highlights
Pet care experience
Mature, calm, kind dog carer/walker
I’ve lived in many houses and can deal with most situations calmly and sensibly. I have owned springer spaniels and have experience sitting for King Charles spaniels, working Cocker spaniels, a variety of terriers, mini Schnauzers, Labradors and cockapoos. I’ve looked after old dogs, blind and deaf as well as younger energetic ones - but I do like them to have some training so I’m not being towed around and then we can have fun together while I keep your pet safe and happy. I like to meet you and your dog(s) before sitting for you.
Cat care experience
Amanda also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to care for dogs in their own home and neighbourhood where they feel most comfortable but can drive them to longer walks (depending on size of dog!). I can care for young puppies though I’m also used to older dogs who need company and short frequent walks/toilet breaks. Im experienced with most medications and special care vet though not injections. I’ll just try to keep your dog safe and happy around your home and out for exercise - and will send you updates/photos as often as you like.
Ratings and reviews
Another wonderful visit from Amanda. The dogs could not have been happier and thoroughly enjoyed their walk too. Thank you so much, Amanda!
Amanda spent this evening ing with our two Jack Russells and they could not have been happier or more relaxed. When we returned home, they greeted us and went off to play, a sure sign that they were very happy and relaxed with her company.
Thank you for taking such good care of Lucky and my home Amanda! I can highly recommend Amanda to look after your pets and home. 😊
Amanda came and looked after our rescue pup while we were off getting married (!) She really put our minds at rest that Frida was nice and safe and happy while we were otherwise occupied. She's obviously got lots of experience with dogs, and we had a lovely meet and greet a couple of weeks before the sit. We're so happy we found a way to leave Frida at home for the duration, and Amanda was brilliant all through the process, highly recommend!
Amanda is amazing having never left Monty with anyone we didn’t know she instantly put us & Monty at ease and sent lovely updates about Monty while we were away. It was like Monty was on his holiday with her while we were away. We cannot recommend Amanda highly enough and will reserve Amanda anytime we are going away in the future.
Amanda was the perfect pet sitter for our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She visited us beforehand to get to know Mulan. Her communication both in the running up to, as well as whilst we were away was excellent. She arrived at the agreed time. She was responsible, caring, flexible and attentive throughout the stay and being our first time away from Mulan, we very felt very assured that she was in reliable hands. Mulan clearly had a lovely time with her and her behaviours which Amanda described whilst we were away only confirmed this. We will most definitely be asking Amanda back again to our home.

Schedule
I am mainly available in the weekday mornings but may cover some afternoons and weekends as well with enough notice. House sits are usually 3-5 days but can be longer with some notice. I’m also happy to travel within the UK coast and countryside for house sitting and have done a number of sits in central Scotland..
Prices include all fees.
