Highlights
Pet care experience
Specialized in Cats and Exotic Pets
I have been working with animals professionally for the past 15 years. I have done everything from dog bathing, doggy daycare, walking, pet sitting and anesthesia free teeth cleaning to working with exotics as a zookeeper. I have experience with all types of animals including birds, reptiles, and small mammals. I currently have 3 cats and 2 rabbits of my own. If your pet stays with me they will be kept completely separate from my animals at all times.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I have used Amanda twice to board my three dogs at her house. She has been absolutely great and sends me photos daily along with updates. They are all supervised in her backyard especially with the coyotes. I like knowing I can leave my dogs with someone and know they will be watched and cared for and not have to worry. I will definitely use her again in the future and recommend her to anyone who is in need of several dogs being boarded at the sitters house as some sitters can only watch one or two.
I am really happy with how well Amanda took care of my dog Odie. It's great that she has a big backyard where he could get a lot of exercise and she did a great job of sending me updates so I was comfortable that he was doing well. Would definitely have my dog stay with her again.
Amanda was awesome! We needed a sitter last minute due to our original person falling through, and she was able to accommodate us into her schedule :)
Amanda was amazing with both of our pups. They’re not the easiest to handle and she was SO patient with them. I appreciated all the updates and the prompt reply’s on all my questions. We will definitely be booking with Amanda again!
Awesomazing Amanda!! From start to finish this was a beyond wonderful experience. Amanda quickly responded to my inquiry, addressed all of my concerns, and the ‘meet n greet’ was not only delightful, but SO reassuring. She was completely in tune with my Maine Coon’s personality, and I was comfortable knowing my old boy (12 1/2 years) Coda was going to be well taken care of. It was especially nice knowing he was being cared for in a home environment, complete with a climbing post, a comfy spot on the couch, and loving lap. Add to all of that, Amanda updated me daily with videos and pictures of Coda getting acclimated and settling in. Naturally, he was happy to be home after 5 days, but not ‘pissy’ as he has been in the past after stays in a kennel! Best. Experience. Ever!! I will definitely use Amanda’s loving services again, and highly recommend!!
Amazing communication! Our first time using rover and we would use amanda again in a heartbeat!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide dog walking, boarding and pet sitting services to the South Orange County Area. Experienced with administering medication including insulin shots and dealing with minor behavioral issues. I have experience caring for animals with special needs and am very attuned to noticing changes in mood or behavior that can be indicative of a health problem. I always report any strange behavior or physical issues to the owner.
Pets
A typical day
Your pet can enjoy all the comforts of home when they stay with me, including lots of snuggles on the couch. I have a large yard your dog would love to run and play in. We also have a great park nearby for walks. I try to provide a lot of fun enrichment and activities to keep dogs entertained.

- Does your dog have separation anxiety? Is your dog potty trained? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Is your dog crate trained? The answers to these questions will not necessarily disqualify your dog from staying with me, but will help me to provide the best care possible to your pet and make their stay more comfortable.
