Reliable Loving Care For Your Pets
Pet care experience
Hi ~ I hope you’re having a good day and that you’ll find the perfect fit for pet care. I’d love to help you take the best possible care of your fur babies. I currently don’t have any pets of my own so am that much more enthusiastic about engaging with yours! I’ve pet and house-sat intermittently over the last 10 years and have also worked as a live-in caregiver, so I understand how important it is to be reliable and how to care for both animals and humans. I’ve always had a deep love for taking care of and learning about animals. Growing up, I helped my mom care for our beloved cats, ensuring they were well-fed, their litter boxes clean, and they had ample playtime. I helped raise and care fore them from the early stages of kittenhood to their adult years. I also enjoy caring for all types of dogs, ranging from dachshunds to great dane mixes. Over the years, I’ve been entrusted by friends, family members, and even friends-of-friends to walk, feed, and provide comprehensive care for their precious fur babies, including scaly and feathered companions. From cats, dogs, birds, fish, and lizards to turtles, I have had the pleasure of caring for pets in their own homes while their owners were away for various lengths of time, ranging from short getaways to extended trips lasting months. During these periods, my priority has always been to ensure the animals are as happy as possible (as they do tend to miss their owners) while maintaining their regular routines as closely as possible. Beyond basic care, I’m experienced in administering medications and I love spending quality time with these wonderful creatures.
Reviews
Amanda was wonderful! Her care for CatCat went above and beyond while I was away for a few days. I was happy to hear she spent time playing with her and also letting her outside to sun! She communicated effectively and was very responsive! She respected my home and cleaned up after herself. I would happily have Amanda care for CatCat again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly, and caring pet sitter!

Safety, trust & environment
I’m available to care for your pets in your home, for drop in for visits, and to walk them. When I’m with your pets my goals are to maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible so they feel relaxed and know what to expect and to ensure their needs are met. I’ve owned or lived with pets for most of my life. The few years when I didn’t were when I was working as a National Park ranger. During that time I still got to learn a lot about animal behavior from observing wild animals across the USA. This time spent with animals combined with my sensitivity and attention to detail add up to me being able to “tune in” with your fur-baby so I know when to interact and when to let them have space. Your and your pets’ happiness are important to me. I’m happy to play with them, bring them on their favorite walking route, and send you photo updates. I’ll be available via phone as needed while you are away.
Information Amanda Amara E. would like to know about your pet
How old is your dog? What is their personality like? Let me know if your dog has anxiety around other dogs or needs to avoid any specific triggers or situations. Please let me know if they take medications, have allergies or any other special needs.
A typical day
I love to connect with animals! We’ll play their favorite games, cuddle if they’re into that, and explore as appropriate (for example I’m not going to take your indoor cat on a walk but I’ll hang out with them in the corner of their favorite room). We’ll take plenty of sniff-breaks along our walks.
