What People are Saying
"Amanda has been taking care of my sweet Mavis for several months and she is such a blessing to our lives. Amanda is consistently timely and professional, she handles my chaotic work schedule with grace and communicates exceptionally well. She sends me with the cutest updates on Mavis and always lets me know when she is coming and going from my home. Her ability to be flexible with drop ins and boarding have made it possible for me to keep my job! I trust her implicitly with the health and safety of my favorite girl."

"We had a meet and greet with Amanda. Both cats came out and met her which was a green flag right away. She sat and played with them showing them she's safe. I gave her instructions for the cats. Each day she came in she'd text time in/out and send pictures. She made the effort to see both cats every day and play with them. After day 2 or 3 one of my cats let her hold him. Green flag! We appreciated the visits, pictures and care she provided. We will definitely use Amanda again!"

"When I brought home a brand-new puppy and needed to find a reliable pet sitter, Amanda came to the rescue. I was so nervous about leaving Rubi while I went to work, but Amanda loved her like she was her own (and Rubi now thinks of her as her second mom!). Amanda is fantastic with dogs and has even watched my son’s dog when they were visiting from out of town. I highly recommend her and can’t say enough good things about her!"

"Amanda is absolutely amazing! I know that when I’m away from my dog, she’s treating her as her own. I also know she’s even going the extra mile to train her and guide her when needed. I trust Amanda and would recommend her to anyone! Her communication is great and she truly dedicates her time to others. She truly cares about her pups!"
- Kayla T
"Thank you Amanda for always taking such good care of Benson. He loves going to stay with you so he can play with his doggy friends and your family. He seems to make himself quite at home there! You make him feel like part of the family and that makes it easy for us to leave him with you. We are happy to recommend you,so Benson can have even more doggy friends!"
- George G
"The services my dog(Ellie) receives from Amanda have been exceptional. I am always provided with updates and photos and I get to know that my little girl is being taken care of. Ellie loves Amanda and is so happy when she gets to go. It feels nice to know that I can also enjoy things and not have the anxiety of worrying about my dog. I use Amanda for all my doggy needs. She’s the BEST I have found!"
- Brandi V
"We like to travel a fair amount and are so happy that our pup has a second home with Amanda. Rosie is always happy when we drop her off and trots right in to play with the other pups. Amanda is communicative and thoughtful and takes great care of Rosie. Absolutely would recommend!"

"Bark and Stay Retreat is so much more than your average pet sitting service. Amanda and staff are caring and kind, going above and beyond to keep my pets safe and happy. Amanda’s professionalism and attention to detail gave me great confidence that my pets were well cared for in my absence. Amanda sent daily updates with pictures of my pets. My smoke detector was beeping and bothering my cats so she replaced the battery! I wouldn’t have known about the smoke detector until I got home a week later but she took the time to fix it to keep my cats happy and calm."
- Lindsay S
"I have had Amanda do drop in visits with my dog Layla a bunch of times and every time I know she is well taken care of! Amanda is a great communicator & timely! When I get home after being away I know my dog has been well taken care of and I’m very thankful for that!"
- Mayce B
"Amanda is fantastic! She loves my dog as her own. He is always well taken care of at her house. Her communication is top notch, she is always giving updates with photos to keep my mind at ease. My dog Wallace loves going to her house and playing with her dogs. I highly recommend her for daycare and boarding."
- Erin W
"Our dogs have loved the care they get while with Amanda, She is a good communicator and is great at keeping us up to date when we are out of town. We trust her to treat our dogs as if they were her own. We would recommend Amanda to anyone looking for reliable pet care."
- Mary I
"Amanda has been very easy to work with and she has always responded to any questions I may have in a very timely manner. She has been very patient with our 3yr old Golden Retriever who unfortunately did not get socialized to new people or other dogs due to the period of Covid quarantine. She is someone that reassures you that she will keep your pet’s best interest at heart. You can tell she loves animals and that she is responsible and caring. I would highly recommend her as a wonderful caregiver for your precious pets."
- Becky C
