Pet care experience

For the past decade, I've had the joy of caring for all kinds of four legged (and sometimes feathered or scaly!) friends. From playful puppies to senior dogs, tiny yorkies to gentle giants - each one has stolen a piece of my heart. I've spent countless hours walking, playing, and cuddling with dogs while their families are away at work or on vacation. Along the way, I've also become a trusted friend to cats, made some chicken buddies, and even bonded with fish and lizards! What I love most is getting to know each pet's unique personality - learning their favorite spots for belly rubs, their preferred walking routes, and all their adorable quirks. Years of experience have taught me how to match each pet's energy level and needs, whether they're an energetic puppy or a calm senior. I treat every home I enter with the utmost respect and care, as if it were my own. Your pet's comfort and happiness is my priority, and I always make sure to follow their normal routines and shower them with lots of love and attention. With extensive knowledge of pet behavior and care, combined with a calm and adaptable energy, I do my best to create a safe and loving environment for every animal I meet. I always start with a friendly meet and greet - it's a free 20-30 minute visit where we can get to know each other! This is where I can meet your pet, learn their unique personality, and understand their daily routines. If we're planning on walks together, we'll take a stroll with your pup so I can learn their walking style and favorite routes. Communication is key which is why after every visit, you'll receive a photo and detailed update about all the fun we had together. You'll never have to wonder how your pet's day went! Because every pet deserves the perfect match, I'm always honest about whether I'm the right fit for your furry friend. My goal is to ensure your pet gets the very best care possible, even if that means recommending someone else who might be better suited to their specific needs.

It was so great to feel worry-free on vacation while Amanda cared for our fur babies. Even our fussy older cat warmed to her immediately - it is clear she is great with animals. We're so glad to have her. She was reliable, sent great pictures, and was super communicative. Would have her sit again. Thank you!
