I love animals and can train dogs!

Pet care experience

*Flea meds and rabies vax required for dogs, crates preferred for Boarding* Cats: I own my own litter box, Litter Genie, and extra bowls. No need to bring those for boarding, unless your cat is picky about litter. I have always loved animals and 8y ago, I adopted an elderly toothless dog. I love animals so much that I am vegan. My primary job is in a hospital, so I have medical training. I am very responsible and good at communicating. I always answer my phone immediately. My elderly dog was a "runner" when she was younger, so I have experience with that. I am willing to train your dogs during house sitting. Just leave some treats or let me know if I should use kibble as treats. Please provide poo bags for walks, regardless of which service you are hiring me for.

We have a new rescue that has only been with us for about six weeks. We unexpectedly had to leave her behind for a trip and Amanda was available even with just a few days notice. She was very communicative with us and patient with Gracie. Gracie is very comfortable with us but still very unsure about new people as she settles into her new home, and Amanda was very understanding of that and we were very grateful knowing Gracie was fed, safe, and not totally alone overnight - even if she was keeping her distance from her new friend!

Amanda was fantastic! She watched our 3 cats for 3 days. As soon as we met her we knew our 3 babies would be fine with her. She was really great with communication and replied back to our texts quickly and sent pictures of our fur babies to us. Our 2 bolder cats seemed comfortable around her pretty much immediately, our more timid cat was given his space to just hide which is what he does in any new situation. It gave us peace of mind knowing that the kitties were safe and sound while our apartment was having work done on it. She worked with our schedule and we were able to pick them up each day and bring them home for the evening as my wife didn't want to be away from them at night, and each morning we dropped them off for "kitty daycare". We were able to bring 2 of there smaller cat trees so they felt more at home. She was very accommodating. Would absolutely use her services again, and recommend her to any person who needs their fur baby watched.

We loved Amanda and so did my cats! Luna still roams the house twice a day at the same time looking for her 🥲❤️ Trustworthy, communicates well and provided all the confidence I needed to know my cats would be well looked after.

I monitor my dogs any time they are in the back yard. I have a bicycle and would be happy to bring your dog for a run while I ride it, if that is something your dog likes to do. I am happy to do a few additional tasks (cleaning, minor DIY/repairs, organization, etc) while house sitting.

Availability

My availability for drop-in visits and walks will depend on my hospital caseload and I will update my calendar frequently to reflect this. Since it is a hospital, it can change very quickly. I can usually be free except 1130-2:30. I will not cancel clients I have already committed to. *Dog walking/drop-in visits between the hours of 1130am-230pm on weekdays will typically not work for my schedule. I will usually be available 0830 - 1000am and any time after 2/3pm.
