Your pups own vacation!

Pet care experience

I have been involved in pet care for the past eight years and have been relied on by many people in my group of pups that stay with me. I have experience taking care of senior pets who need medication and puppies under the age of one helping with basic training. I love getting to bond with animals and make them feel as if they are comfortable when being away from home.

Mandy is simply the best dog sitter I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. My dog is super excited to see her when I drop him off and sulks when I pick him up! She stays in regular communication with me and sends great pictures of my dog having the best time of his life. I’ve recommended Mandy to all my friends and they agree she’s the best. She gives my dog plenty of one on one attention and affection and I know he’s not missing me for a minute! I appreciate that she is flexible with pick up and drop off times and availability.

I cannot recommend Mandy highly enough. I have never seen anyone genuinely love dogs as much as she does. (Mandy has wanted to take care of dogs since she was 3 years old and continues living her dream through education, professional employment, and personal dog care.) She oohs and ahhs over any and every dog, provides her dogs constant attention, and takes meticulous care of them. (For instance, if they have a special diet or medicines that need to be administered at specific times, she’s on it.) She knows that the dogs she cares for are her clients’ children and cares for them as their clients’ could only dream of their dogs being cared for. At her beautiful home, dogs get to play inside her intentionally safe-for-dogs areas and outside her fully walled backyard, and when they get tired, they will receive tons of snuggle time. Clients are at peace knowing their dogs are safe and happy and because Mandy thoroughly and promptly communicates with them. Returning dogs arrive with such enthusiasm that they almost barrel her over upon arrival, and they are then sad to leave! If you contact any of her clients, you will hear RAVE reviews. And Mandy is not only a one-of-a-kind caregiver, she is also an exceptional person. She is responsible, trustworthy, exudes incredible enthusiasm and energy, and is so much fun. If Mandy has an opening for your dog, take it!!

Mandy is the absolute best dog sitter ever! We’ve used her for 4 years now and have been very happy. She treats our dog as her own. She makes sure our dog has all the comforts of home while watching her. She keeps us updated during our dogs stay with pictures and text messages. She always responds to our text. She is very organized and makes sure to ask if we have any upcoming trips so our dog can get on her schedule. We feel lucky to have her as a dog sitter.

Mandy is amazing and Gwennie, our mini doodle loves her! Mandy honors each request I've made as brushing her teeth and feeding her on a strict schedule (Gwennie has gut issues and gets sick if not feed on time). Mandy even took Gwennie to the vet when she had an ear infection. Gwennie gets plenty of outside time with Mandy as well as time in the pool. Mandy is a true dog lover and is a great dog sitter. We're so lucky to have found her!

I have a fenced in backyard with a pool. The pups are never left alone out in the backyard, but love to sniff and romp around on the grass. I have two pups of my own. A German Shepherd and Husky. They are both amazing with all size dogs and have raised pups as small as 4 lb shih tzus. They are great pups and love to have friends over.

Information Mandy A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pup is not crate trained or does not do well being alone for more than an hour outside of a kennel. It's also important for me to know of any important medical concerns or conditions.

A typical day

We make breakfasts on the weekends (doggy pancakes), enjoy yummy treats and hangout outside. We can swim, go on walks and play with all the toys a pup could imagine. We also work on basic training and keep the pups well groomed while with us.
