About Amanda B.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We have a large back porch and yard with a fenced area for sniffing around. If your pet requires extra exercise, we have a quiet neighborhood to walk around in. We have a dog bed in almost every room, space for you to bring a crate, or an area that can be closed off overnight if necessary or requested. There are few places in the house that the dogs don't have access to out of an abundance of safety. Otherwise, they are welcome to make themselves at home! If I care for an animal in your home, I will let you and your pet take the lead!
Home
Information Amanda B. would like to know about your pet
What is their personality like? Do they have separation anxiety or prefer space? Is there any history of aggression/fighting/biting? Do they have any physical or sound triggers? Have they tried running away/jumping fences? Are there any health conditions, medications, dietary needs/restrictions, or allergies I should know about? Are there any specific command words, quirks, or cues? (ex: "leave it" instead of "drop it," barks at door to go potty) How do they behave on a leash? What is their favorite thing?
A typical day
Like dogs, I am an explorer at heart! Our neighborhood offers plenty of smells to smell and farm animals to meet (from a safe distance). We also live near Fort Ritchie and Pen Mar Park—some of my favorite local spots to sniff around. Or, if you have a low-energy furry friend, couch surfing can be a fun activity, too!

Pet care experience
I've been taking care of my own animals my whole life. Neighbors, friends, and family started hiring me for pet care when I was still in high school. I love the stark difference in pet personalities and learning how each of them likes to be cared for. Examples of my past & present clientele: - A family with 7 chihuahuas of varying ages and levels of crazy - A brand new hyperactive Bernedoodle puppy whom I still care for regularly (she's 4 now!) - A sweet lab who liked long, slow walks and bananas - A moody cat who could not care less about me (I have slowly earned the blessing of giving head pats to them now) - A tortoise who inspires me to slow down and eat more greens *my home is a safe space for people and pets from all walks of life*
Cat care experience
Amanda also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Amanda was beyond amazing! She took great care of our pup, took him for a couple of walks and played with him in our yard. Our pup Buckley truly enjoyed his time with Amanda and highly recommend her to take care of fur animals! We will for sure be booking again in the future with her.
Amanda is amazing! Remy loves her and I felt so reassured by her clear communication. She manages to be both professional and warm and caring. I hope to have many more visits from her going forward.
Amanda is a kind and gentle soul who has such compassion for all living beings. She’s an incredibly responsible & trustworthy caretaker who loves all animals, big and small. Your pets would be lucky to be cared for by her!
I have known Amanda for several years and used her services to help care for my 4 year old, Golden Retriever, Kaia. Kaia just loves Amanda and is always so pleased to get her walks or butt and belly scratches from Amanda! Amanda is reliable, a good source of information on pet care (she has given me some good tips on grooming) and it’s been obvious from the start, that Amanda is true animal lover. You can be confident your baby will be well cared for with Amanda. Highly recommend.
