Amanda & Evan Strickland
Founders of Helping Hands Animal Sitting

At Helping Hands, compassion is at the heart of everything we do — and that starts with us. We’re Amanda and Evan Strickland, lifelong animal enthusiasts with a soft spot for rescues and a deep respect for every creature’s unique personality.

Our home is full of life, love, and wagging tails - from horses, donkeys, to our two Great Danes, wolfhound mix, and multiple cat who rules the roost. Each animal we care for, whether our own or a client’s, is treated with the same patience, respect, and dedication we give our own family.

We believe in earning an animal’s trust through time, understanding, and gentle care — especially those who need a little extra love and attention. Over the years, this belief has shaped how we approach every visit, every farm, and every furry (or feathered!) friend we meet.

When you choose Helping Hands Animal Sitting, you’re not just hiring a service — you’re partnering with people who truly live and breathe animal care every day and one day look to give back to the community!

Owners of company Evan and Amanda Strickland

"Vertical border of repeating brown paw prints used as a decorative design element."

"‘About Us’ graphic with a paw print replacing the letter O and decorative brackets and dots."

"Collage of horses, dogs, and a pet sitter interacting with animals, labeled ‘Strickland Family,’ showing ranch care."

This is our story — written in hoof prints, paw prints, and love. Bound by compassion, guided by patience — the heart behind every life we touch. From barnyards at dawn to living rooms at dusk, every visit tells a story earned and care given. We believe every animal has a heartbeat that speaks, a spirit that deserves to be understood, and a place where they fell safe.

Helping Hands is more than a name- it's a promise to serve with integrity, to treat every creature as family, and to walk alongside who give their hearts to them.

with Professional Care

so you can have

Peace of Mind

Daily Visits

Based on the routines you have already established with your pets/animals, we can offer different types of visits. We can provide that chance to roam outside, play fetch, go for a walk or a feeding. We can schedule a drop in visit for any of these needs up to 4x/day. This allows for coverage of all feedings and adequate potty breaks as if you were home for all times except when you would sleep through the night.

Overnight Stays

We can offer overnight stays for your next trip so you can have the peace of mind that your animals have constant care while you're away. We love to keep you updated as much as you want with how they're doing so your time away can be carefree. Overnight sitters provide concierge-level care providing round-the-clock care with limited breaks away from the home. As such, overnight care is scheduled based on availability.

House Sitting

Home Security

We don't believe in charging per animal, especially since we are tailored to meet the needs of homes with numerous animals. Whether you have a pack of dogs or a barn full of critters...we will evaluate the needs of your home and your location to determine a fair and more affordable, personalized packaged quote. Then based on the dates of your travel, we'll match you with an available sitter with the right skill set to care for everyone you need.
