About: I grew up always having a dog. I know how special they can be and the attention they deserve. I'm always happy to help pups get the best care possible. I have many free days to devote to pets. I am available on short notice and always happy to help out to make things easier on your animals. I have experience with dogs that roam the house as well as crate training. I also know how to handle an invisible fence versus a solid one as well as leads.
About: I’ve cared for families pets (dogs and cats), whenever needed. This includes walks, over night stays, baths, feeding, medication distribution and potty breaks. I’m a recent kitten-mom, so I’m well-versed in this area. I’m a work from home employee (Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), so I’d love to spend time with your pet(s) during and after these hours. I enjoy going for long walks after work as well, so why do it alone! I follow all rules set by the client and will pick up all messes throughout my visit (from their pet). If their pet has a certain amount of times needed to be let out (at certain times), I follow that plan. This goes for all other orders!
“Amanda took excellent care of my two senior dogs. I really appreciate the daily log she kept and the pictures of them she sent me. Maxwell’s eyes, which required drops administered 2X daily looked better than ever. I will definitely contact Amanda again.”
“My first experience using Rover. I was actually able to go on vacation and not worry if someone was actually with my dogs. I trusted that they took great care of my pups and that they did! Shannon even washed everything she used and left the house in perfect order. So relieved to be able to find great care for our beloved pets.”
“Christina was wonderful!! So considerate of our home and even better with the love and attention she gave to our boy!! If you want someone to care for your pets the way you would, reach out to Christina!!”
“Leo was amazing with Oliver. This was a longer trip than usual and I never worried one second. I was sent updates and photos which put me at ease. Leo was sure to keep Oliver's routine including the neighborhood play groups! Highly recommended sitter.”
“Katrina is courteous, punctual and reliable. She was a great dog sitter and took great care of our sweet senior dog exactly according to our requests and sent updates and pictures regularly. We highly recommend her and will use her again whenever the need arises. Thank you, Katrina!”
