Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring, attentive, detail oriented
First thing you need to know before requesting me is I do have a full time job in Austin and work long hours but I do stay in home for overnight care. I love watching and caring for pets but want to make sure they are ok for long periods of time. Now about me, I have had a variety of many pets since I was a child. I was in 4-H for rabbits as a kid. I have been volunteering with dog rescues for over 12 years. I have watched up to 13 dogs in one house at one time. My specialty care is tending to older dogs & dog selective dogs. I have watched several dog rescues home base animals as well. I administrate medications, re-wrap bandaged wounds,change diapers, give eye drops etc. I have watched many dogs with different temperaments and not much will scare me away. I will take your pets to the vet if needed for appointments. I am willing, and love, to watch every kind of animal! I have been petsitting for over 6 years & have a plethora of references. My fiancé & I personally have two dogs, JRT/Beagle mix and a Lab/Pittie mix, retic snake & a ball python snake. I can handle any situation that may arrise while you are away. I water plants, get mail, bring packages in, and most importantly love and care for your pets! I will always send pictures and video updates of your pets aswell! I have also taken a pet cpr/first aid course.

Safety, trust & environment
I always make sure, especially after storms, that the fenced areas are still secure. If using a leash I ensure the collar/harness are secure and wrap the leash around my wrists to prevent the leash falling out of my hands.
Ratings and reviews
Mandy is an amazing pet sitter! She took great care of our home and four, high energy dogs. She showed them lots of love and cuddles, play time, and even gave them extra company with her long visits. One of our dogs had digestive issues while we were gone, and Mandy knew exactly what to do to get him back on track. We’re so grateful to her for the peace of mind and care for our fur babies! Highly recommend!
Mandy was such a blessing! She took wonderful are of my pets 2 dogs and 2 cats, my lab is afraid of thunderstorms and she made sure that she cared for him and helped him be safe and calm. We will definitely be asking her to sit again in the future🩷💙🩷💙
Mandy was absolutely awesome! My beagle is a senior so I was worried about who could take care of her while I was away. I could tell Mandy was so caring and made the experience a lot easier for my baby. With all of the lovely photos she sent me of her, I could tell that she was happy and relaxed. Would definitely book with her again! ☺️
Words cannot express how thankful we are to have Mandy! She is so patient and caring for our house full of animals! Our older dog has high anxiety, and honestly gave her a hard time. She tried everything to make her comfortable, even sacrificing her own comfort. The other animals truly enjoyed her presence, as seen through photos, and videos. We are going to try a friendly at home integration with our big pup and Mandy, to make sure her next stay will be an enjoyable one. We highly recommend her to anyone needing a confident, trustworthy pet sitter.
Mandy is awesome! My animals loved her and she took great care of them while I was traveling. She communicates well and sends lots of photos and updates. Highly recommended!
Amazing! Will book with Mandy everytime! She went above and beyond for us! She sent tons of pictures and updates. The pets loved her!

- Any medical needs, i.e. Meds, bandages, eye drops, diaper changes, allergies etc.? Other dog/people aggression issues? Are they crated, left outside or is there a dog door? What is the feeding routine. Are they allowed to snuggle on furniture? Will they be ok for 4-8 hours alone? My breed preferences are the snuggly kind! I love all animals from dogs to snakes and from massively large to teeny tiny!
