Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced-in yard and a doggy door for Maggie and Dax at my home. Since Bella is partially paralyzed, I use a sling to take her out back for fresh air and sun. Due to her injury, she does use pee pads in the house most of the time. She is incontinent and has to be expressed, so I am familiar with helping special needs dogs with potty issues, and messes don't faze me! At a client's home, I love having clear instructions to fit right into your pet's routine and ensure they are safe and happy!

Information Mandy H. would like to know about your pet

I truly love all breeds of dogs and cats, and I'm comfortable around a wide range of personality types. I do need to know in advance if a dog has special needs or any behavior issues I should account for.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on walks, especially if the weather is nice. If a park is nearby, I enjoy taking the pups there to explore! If I'm doing a drop-in visit, I love to play with your pet's favorite toys, and I also have various leveled interactive puzzles that help stimulate a dog's mind. I can also do a combination of walks and feeding, or whatever your pets needs may be. I am adaptable and love hearing about your pet's favorite activities to ensure they are included in our time together.

Pet care experience

**I am happy to offer short notice/same-day drop-ins and walks as my schedule allows!** **If you need care for 3+ pets, message me and I can work with you on rates depending on services needed!** I have had pet dogs since I was around 10 years old, my first being a miniature schnauzer. I adopted my first dog as a "grown-up" named Bailey. She was a mixed lab that I had until she was 14 years old, so I have a lot of experience with senior care. Currently, I have two sweet pups! Maggie is my other girl. She is 8 years old and is a Catahoula hound mix. She can be VERY energetic and loves her walks, so I am used to high-energy pets as well! Our most recent adoption is Dax, our black lab mix! He is a little over one years old. He wandered into our yard as a stray in July, underweight, and needing lots of care. We put up notices to see if we could find his family and put him on a stray hold with ACPS, however no one came to claim him. Due to the overcrowding at the shelter, we decided to foster him until he could find his forever family, but after a few months we loved him too much to let him go so we formally adopted him on September 11th. We recently lost our Bella on March 9th. Bella was 15 years old and had hind-end paralysis and also incontinence due to her condition, which occurred in 2016. Due to her condition, I have many years of experience with special needs dogs, including expressing at potty time, medication, and the intensive care that comes with our special needs pets. I adopted her as a puppy, so I have also had experience with puppy care. She gave us so many years of happiness, and we miss her so much. I also have a separate pet sitter insurance policy through PCI (Pet Care Insurance). This policy will cover your pets and property in case of an emergency or incident while they are in my care. This coverage is in addition to the guarantee provided by Rover!

Miss Mandy is by far amazing. She goes above and beyond in everything she does for the dogs. She truly does treat them like they are her own pups. My three babies absolutely love her, especially my big boy! I work long hours and because of her I finally have a peace of mind. Thank you for all you do.💙
