I work from home as a graphic designer and I have an MFA in Drawing and an active fine art drawing and printmaking practice. Pets are attended to at all times as I work in the same room where they play. I take plenty of play and walk breaks. Art materials used are non toxic and kept locked away from pets. I often stretch pets and if I sketch yours you may keep it!

Information Amanda Y. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me if your pet has any special needs or preferences. I have a resident dog, cat and parakeet and the dog and cat are great with other pets. Older puppies and kittens are and fine but all dogs must be potty trained and cats litter trained.

A typical day

Dogs have daytime supervised access to a dog door and a large fenced yard. They are taken in long walks twice daily. We have a shared beach where dogs may swim (on leash) if you give approval. Cats have their own room (or cats from the same family share.) They have plenty of toys, a big window and lots of places to climb and perch. A secure pet door allows them to see family activity. When designing I work in the same room as Kitty and take frequent breaks for playing.

Pet care experience

I’m an animal lover with years of pet care experience. Your dog enjoys the supervised run of my pet-safe home which includes a big fenced yard. Cuddles and naps on the couch and in the bed are welcomed. We take twice daily long walks and daily leashed lake swimming or wading in summer. I am experienced in senior dog and puppy care and at administering medication and following special diets. My beagle Toast loves company and I treat your fur baby like my own.

It was the first time we ever boarded our dog, so we were quite nervous. Amanda was great. She communicated often and sent so many pictures. Stella was very well taken care of.

Truly one of the best sitters I’ve ever had. She sent me tons of pictures, kept me updated, helped me in a jam. Such a kind, awesome human and obviously a huge true dog lover. Great house for dogs, outdoor space, she’s very responsible. I trusted her to give my senior dog her medicine and I know my dog had a blast because she slept the whole next day. 1000/10 sitter. BEST!

Amanda provided a safe, nurturing space for my dog. She sent updates, asked questions, and took excellent care of Gary.
