About: Hello! I have 10 years' experience with large and small breed dogs, and cats. I have worked in many different fields, from grooming, and doggie daycare. I am a biologist in the full-time job, loving animals and working to preserve their natural environment. I am currently working in a on and off again schedule. When I am not full time working, I am available every day at any time, within reasonable hours. I am very meticulous and responsible. I will follow any schedule that you provide and also love to interact with the pets. I typically will spend 30 minutes to 2 hours with the pets, unless asked otherwise. I am very flexible with my schedule and can accommodate within reason.

“Amanda is an INCREDIBLE sitter! She does not just come and feed our dogs or take them out for a walk- she will go ABOVE and BEYOND! She stays with them for a while and plays with them! She will even take the time to nurture dogs with anxiety. She's cared for our dogs, our cat, fish, and our bird. She will send photos of her loving on the pets or them while playing when we aren't home. I'm sad we have moved away because there's no one I would trust more than Amanda to take care of my animals. You will LOVE Amanda!”

About: I've taken care of dogs pretty much my whole life, your fur-babies will and is going to be in the best hands possible. Please let me know if you have any questions and I am happy to answer them. - Londyn :) I have a Cava Poo so I of course take care and love on her every day. I just want to spread the love to more pets that are missing their parents while at work. I will feed and give them water as instructed. I will make sure you dog uses the bathroom along with stretching out their legs to get some play time in and of course we can't forget about the treats.

19. Julie V.
About: I offer pet sitting Monday through Friday from 6am-4pm (I can be flexible on the hours), as well as over night stays and weekend stays, and dog walking. I am comfortable around all breeds and sizes of dogs, as well as cats. I do prefer long term care (I will watch your pet same hours weekly) but am also open to one time care as well. I have a large fenced in back yard, a great neighborhood for walking and I will also allow the pets to stay inside as well. I do have a 4 year old who will be home during the summer but will be in school starting August but he is very good with animals. I look forward to hearing from you.
