Information Amanda W. would like to know about your pet

Does your pet have special needs. Whats the behavior of your pet? (Hyper, laid back, sleeps a lot, has a lot of energy, likes to be left alone)

A typical day

We can play fetch, go for a walk, relax. They take the lead while visiting 😊 I'm a hands on sitter, so whatever energy they have I will adjust.

Pet care experience

What truly sets us apart is the genuine love and attention we give every pet, treating them as if they were our own. Caring for animals has been part of my life since childhood, from dogs and cats to rabbits. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and (of course) snuggle their pets, knowing they’d be cared for with patience and kindness. Because I work from home, your pet is never alone. They receive constant companionship, supervision, and plenty of affection throughout the day. I’m attentive and experienced with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies who need play and structure to senior pets who deserve extra comfort, gentleness, and care. For added peace of mind and convenience, we’re located just minutes from O’Hare Airport with easy access to the Metra train, making drop-off and pick-up simple for frequent travelers and busy pet parents alike. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need dependable care close to home, your pet will be safe, loved, and well looked after here.

Amanda took fantastic care of our pup Archie. She provided daily updates, lots of snuggles, and worked with us when we had to unexpectedly extend our booking. I hope to use Amanda for dog sitting again in the future.

Amanda was amazing! Very helpful in coordinating pick up and drop off, great communication and lots of updates about our pups stay. Most importantly, it’s so clear how much she enjoyed and cared for our dog. We will definitely be asking Amanda to dog-sit for our next trip!
