Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Reactive Dog Owner
I had a reactive dog for 10 years and have dog sat my brother’s three blue heelers many times, and if you know anything about blue heelers, it’s that they’re crazy! The pictures on my profile are from our cross country road trip with our two cats and dog, so we are definitely the type of couple that wants our pets to go on adventures with us. I’m an outdoors enthusiast so I would take your dog out on hikes, but I also know the importance of mental stimulation - We have a lot of puzzles and snuffle mats from our late dog. My partner and I will be tag teaming to take care of your fur babies!

Ratings and reviews
Mandy did so well with Benji! He is naturally anxious but she got him to go on a nice long walk. She also fed him and provided great pics and notes! Super easy to communicate with
Mandy and Daniel were so great with our reactive anxious pup. Since he's too afraid to go on walks in the neighborhood, they drove him to the cemetery every day for quiet walks. He has also been picky with his food lately due to his meds, and they always made sure he had something in his belly and got his meds. I can tell based on the photos and videos that he loved his time with them.
Mandy was fantastic with our anxious dog. I’m so grateful for her patience and kind nature. She was super responsive and even toweled off our pup after their rainy walk.
Mandy & Daniel took such amazing care of our girls, Isla and Ivy, while we were away in Minnesota this past weekend. They were incredibly communicative the entire time, which we really appreciated, and they sent multiple updates and photos every day that gave us so much peace of mind. They truly went above and beyond! They brought the girls treats and puzzle toys, and made sure they felt loved and entertained while we were gone. They even saved Isla’s canine tooth when it fell out while we were away (she’s our 4 month old puppy), which was such a thoughtful thing to do! We could tell our dogs were in great hands the whole time. We’ll absolutely be using Mandy & Daniel again in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone in the area looking for caring, reliable dog sitters!
Amazingly responsive! Caring and responsibility for a day trip away!
Mandy was great with our two dogs. She gave us very detailed updates about how they were doing and the things they did that day. She would take them on walks and a few other adventures as well and took plenty of pictures of them. She even went above and beyond by dehydrating a chicken breast so they could have chicken jerky! Definitely recommend and will be the first person I go to.

Schedule
I telework regularly while my partner works remotely full time, so there will always be someone home with your pup! We enjoy going on hikes and live in a walkable city, so would take your dog out on coffee runs too.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced in yard, but we’re also very close to the Fells and other parks to take your dog out for some fresh air and exercise. We have a senior cat who is very friendly and curious and is used to being around dogs!
Pets
A typical day
We’ll start the day off with a 20-30 minute walk to the park where your dog can romp around and potty. The long 40-60 minute walk will happen around late afternoon/early evening that is finished with wiping their paws when we return home and rewarded with a chew/sniffle mat/treat puzzle. Another potty break 4-6 hours later followed by dinner. Last potty break will be before we all go to bed.
