Pet care experience
I got into dog walking and sitting because I wanted a job that I could be on my feet and active! I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. I've been a dog walker and cat sitter for Poodleroo Pet Sitting in New Orleans and completed a pet safety course. I have also been a walker for Wag! I've passed their safety and dog behavior tests as well. I'm very patient and have experience with shy and extroverted dogs, including dogs who’ve recently come out of the shelter system. I don't mind walking at a fast pace or a slow one. I've seen it all and worked with very stubborn dogs before; from refusing to move to pulling hard. I also have experience walking with puppies and I'm very attentive to make sure they don't eat things of the ground. I also love cats! I grew up with three cats and have experience giving cats medicine.

Information Amanda B. would like to know about your pet
If you know of any triggers the dog has or things they are afraid of this is useful information. I prefer dogs that are comfortable around strangers and don’t feel threatened by strangers. I prefer to meet guard dogs with the owner first so the dog knows I’m not a threat.
A typical day
I like to take dogs to green spaces and parks. I’m an avid hiker and love taking (leashed) dogs with me. Fetch is great with any dog that enjoys fetch, but not all do! The most important thing for me is making sure I can stick to a dog’s routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable with me.
