about the founder

Hi, I'm Amanda, the founder of hound & sage. I started pet sitting in 2023 and quickly realized how much I loved it. What began as a side project grew into something bigger, and I decided to build it into a real business. Since then, I've worked with numerous families across Charlotte, NC, many of whom have referred me to friends and neighbors over the years. Several clients have been with me for years now, and I've become their go-to pet sitter, the person they trust every time they walk out the door. I love working with animals, and it shows in how I care for every pet like they're my own.
