Highlights
Pet care experience
Attentive Sitter, Clean Cozy Home
I have several years of experience caring for dogs through Wag!, including puppies, adult, senior, and special needs dogs, and have built strong relationships with many repeat clients. 🐾 What sets me apart is my calm, attentive approach and focus on quality care. I take time to understand each dog’s routine, behavior, and comfort level to create a low-stress, structured environment where they can settle in easily. 🐾 I use positive reinforcement for basic training, am comfortable administering oral medications, and follow care instructions closely. I’m especially mindful with dogs who benefit from a quieter, more predictable setting. 🐾 With a flexible schedule and time at home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular updates, and a reliable, comfortable experience for both pets and their owners.

Safety, trust & environment
My home has a large yard and one friendly, well-behaved dog who is fairly independent and respectful of other dogs’ space. This helps create a calm, low-stress environment, especially for dogs who may need time to adjust. I can crate dogs if needed and always prioritize safety and comfort. I’m attentive to each dog’s routine, behavior, and personality, and I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Amanda was great. Larry got to go out and play and also got fed in a timely manner. I was able to go to see the Nascar race in Joliet while not having to worry about Larry being locked in the house. Perfect plan. This was my first experience with Rover. Worked out well.
Amanda was excellent! She helped us with dog walking while we were out of town and took pictures and notes for us. Definitely recommend!
Amanda was amazing. She sent pictures of Bailey. Everything was great.
Amanda was a very reliable pet sitter. She watched our two dogs while we were out of town. She checked in very often and sent us multiple pictures of our pets everyday. She even watered our plants! Would definitely have her back!
Amanda was great with the dogs. Very communicative and walked to dogs for longer than planned. The dogs were in good spirits when I got home!
She was very accommodating and took my last minute request! She worked overtime and my dog and cat seemed to love her! Highly recommend!

- I like to know your dog’s routine, diet, energy level, triggers, personality, and any health or behavior concerns before our first visit. Information about feeding schedule, potty habits, favorite toys, and social preferences helps me provide the best care possible. I also ask about any special instructions or medications so I can keep your pet safe and comfortable.
