I do not recommend this sitter based on my experience. Before drop-off, I provided detailed written care instructions, two XXL crates (plenty big enough for my large and medium size dogs) food, and toys, but my instructions were not followed or even read. During the stay, I was informed that one of my dogs was experiencing respiratory distress after being left outside on the hottest day of the year despite my explicit instructions that my dogs were not to be left outdoors alone and for long periods of time especially in the heat wave that was occurring at the time. We immediately ended our trip early and arranged to pick them up. Although I was initially told that was fine, I was later informed we would need to wait until the following day because an earlier pickup was inconvenient to her. When we arrived, the sitter was not even present, and we discovered that other individuals we had not been informed about were caring for our dogs. The home appeared to have an extremely high volume of animals at both drop off and pick up. Overall She appeared to have taken on more responsibilities than she could effectively manage. Her actions placed my dog in a serious medical situation. This experience did not meet our expectations, and we will not be booking with this sitter again.

Many was great! She was able to fit us in last minute for 9 days. You can tell she is knowledgeable and experienced with animals. We will definitely be using Mandy in the future!

Mandy is awesome! She took great care of our large and energetic 10 month old puppy, who loved being there. Mandy went the extra mile in all respects. She’s a true animal lover and it shows. Communication was great and we will definitely return. Very highly recommended!

Mandy was flexible and communicative. My pup can be sensitive and often does not eat the first day at someone else’s house, but she was comfortable and happy enough that she didn’t skip a meal. We will definitely be back.

Our pup had another awesome stay with Mandy. There is no stress or worry when Rocket is under her care. That peace of mind is truly priceless. Thank you for another great stay, Mandy!

Mandy took the best care of my baby and I couldn’t be more impressed with her!!☺️

Great place! Great lady. Was very understanding of pickup delays due to travel. Sent cute pictures and updates.

Great visit. This was a 1st time stay over (anywhere) without mom or dad. Apparently she did great. Our girl was very excited when I picked her up but she was full of kisses for Mandy. Goldie met a bunch of new friends- we’ll be back soon. I highly recommend Mandy, her love of dogs shines through.

This was my dog’s first time being away from home, and I truly had no idea what to expect. Mandy was incredibly calm, professional, and reassuring throughout the entire experience. Even with my limited cell service, she made the effort to send me updates, which brought a lot of peace of mind. I offered several times to come back and pick him up, but she handled everything with such confidence and care that I knew he was in good hands. As it turns out, my dog is much more of an escape artist than I realized and would do better in a more secure environment—but that’s on me, not her. I really appreciated her patience and understanding.

Rocket had another fabulous stay with Mandy while we were out of town. She is so in touch with animals in general and dogs in particular that any worries about my pup just melt away when he is in her care. He has a great time with her and she maintains his schedule and training just like at home. This particular trip had some hiccups at the end, changing when we'd be back in town. Mandy was flexible and kind with the shifting schedule, we are so grateful and truly appreciate having such a wonderful dog sitter nearby!

Mandy is great! She is a smart animal lover and takes good care of our lab. Our dog is happy to go there and is in good health and spirits when we pick her up. Mandy has been flexible when needed and accommodating. I never worry about our dog under her supervision. Recently she watched our dog for 3 weeks. When we started using Mandy as a sitter she lived 5 minutes from us which was perfect. She now lives an hour away and we still try to use her as our sitter when possible. We highly recommend her.

Our pup got a vacation too! Mandy has extensive experience with a variety of animals and is one of those innately dog savvy people. As a worrier when pet care is needed, this really eased my mind. I knew Rocket would not just be be safe and comfortable with her but she would maintain the training and home routines already in place. Winlock may not be conveniently located for many but she is definitely worth the drive. This ‘leash optional’ country place gives dogs a safe haven to romp and play to their hearts content under her watchful eye. Rocket had so much fun on his doggy vacay with Mandy I could not be happier. As you would expect from a top notch sitter, it was an excellent experience in every way. I am so grateful to find someone like Mandy, it removes the worry of having to leave our pup when traveling. Thank you, Mandy, for taking such good care of our boy!

Mandy was great.

Mandy was fantastic with my fur baby. Her care of Addie was obvious in the many photos and video I received during her stay. Addie is going to miss all the animals she became friends with. I would absolutely recommend Mandy. I will 100% use her again when I have to go out of town.

We feel lucky to have Mandy nearby. We have an exuberant 11 month old pup with separation anxiety and he came home in excellent spirits. Mandy sent plenty of pics and video updates as well as suggestions to help with his anxiety

Nola loved her beach time and getting to play with the other dogs!

Mandy took our exuberant Portuguese water dog on short notice. They both seemed to be happy with each other. Would book again!

Mandy is awesome and took great care of our dogs!

Mandy was very comfortable with my big active dogs and was careful to make sure they were appropriate for her “pack.” They enjoyed off leash time on her property.

Thanks Mandy ! It was obvious Luna had a great time staying with you and playing with Smokey! I so appreciate you accommodating my last minute request and flexibility regarding my arrival on my travel day into town. Will be in touch soon. Thanks again !
