Pawsitive Beginnings

We have just completed a trip out of the US and had Amanda housesit our three dogs and cat. Amanda was willing to take the time prior to the stay to come to the house and familiarize herself with the animals, the operations of the home environs, the extensive medications required for one of the dogs, and the schedules required for so many animals.
When the initial stay began, she was prompt, aware of what was required, and prepared to perform to our satisfaction. Throughout our trip, she remained in touch with photos of the animals, special situations that arose, and the conditions of the animals throughout the week.
When we returned, the house was immaculate. All sheets and towels had been washed, and all animals were in top form. After losing our long time house sitter, we have been using people in fits and starts without the results meeting our expectations. After meeting Amanda, we realized our requirements were not extraordinary but could be met by someone thoughtful, caring and willing to pay attention to detail. Amanda fulfilled all of our requirements and went the extra mile in every situation. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

We are a family with a puppy for the first time ever. We were very nervous about being able to handle our puppy, so I enlisted Amanda’s services. Amanda has made a big difference. She was always very prompt and prepared for our training class. After the training she would send us a recap of the class via email. This was very helpful! Amanda is doing what she loves and it shows. I would definitely recommend Amanda and Pawsitive Beginnings…

i give amanda high marks for house and cat sitting.
she is courteous, competent, cooperative; she was flexible about the arrangements, also changes i made.
her price for a four night stay was the lowest i encountered.
most of all, she bonded with my cat, jack kerouac, right away; made me feel confident about leaving him in her care. i could see at once that jack felt safe with her.
she sent frequent updates, throughout the weekend, with photographs of jack looking serene and happy.
set my mind at ease.
i am surely going to call amanda next time i am away from home.
