Pet care experience

My first kids were my dogs.

I have been caring for our family pets since I was a young child. As I grew in my abilities to care for them, my love for animals grew exponentially. They are essentially a part of my family and they are treated as such. So I know just how hard it can be to leave them at home all day while at work, or for an extended amount of time to go on vacation. When you hire me to care for your pets while you're away, you can guarantee that I will love and spoil them just as much as you would if you were home. Also, one of my dogs is over-protective, so I am hyper-vigilant when it comes to reading a dog's body language. I am a stay-at-home mom and my youngest is about to enter Kindergarten. So, I have plenty of time and availability to care for your animals as frequently as you'd like. The only time I am not available is during school drop-off and pick-up times (8-8:30am & 2:30-3:30pm). Both of my dogs are senior dogs, which means I have a lot of experience giving dogs medications, including those that are time sensitive. I am also very vigilant when it comes to reading a dog's body language. You can be sure that I will be ready to protect or dissipate any situation when a dog's anxiety is on the rise.

Mandy is the absolute Best pet-sitter. She’s kind, attentive, great communicator and treats our pets and home like her own. Highly recommend Mandy for any and all situations from short term to long vacations.

Mandy is so great watching over our pups. She takes the best pictures too. I always feel good leaving knowing that she will take great care of them.

Mandy is wonderful. My dog Chuck loves her, and she is great with him. I love that I have someone like Mandy to visit with him mid-day when I am at work.

Mandy is wonderful! My puppy Chuck just loves her. She is always on time and sends me great pictures of my puppy. I could not be any happier with Mandy. I have peace of mind knowing that my little puppy gets play time, potty time, and lots of love mid-way through my workday.

We have been using Mandy for 2-3 years now and couldn’t be happier. She’s great with communication and our dog, who can be trouble with strangers, loves when she comes around.

If you have any concerns or special requests/needs for your pet, please let me know. I have two senior dogs myself, so I am very experienced at giving medications and special attention to any ailments they might have. I am also very good at reading a dog's body language to tell when they are anxious or upset.
