Availability
I currently work full time, but I have a relatively flexible schedule and the ability to work from home 1-2 days per week. I am an early bird so have no problem waking up before dawn for walks/care as needed.

I would follow your guidelines and rules. The pet is yours and therefore I would always honor and respect your house rules, the animal's needs, and anything else agreed to when discussing the pet sitting opportunity. Therefore, how I would care for a pet is 100% dependent on the individual circumstance. That being said, I'll be sad if you have a dog that doesn't like walks or a cat that doesn't like people (aka being pet by me)

Pet care experience
I've been taking care of cats and other small animals since before I could walk. In addition to cats (up to 4 at a time), I have owned hedgehogs, hamsters, gerbils, and frogs. I am comfortable with all rodents and reptiles. Although I've never personally owned a dog, I have been dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since High School, and love taking dogs for hikes/walks. If you're dog has a lot of energy and wants to get outdoors, we'll be a great match. Also, my dad keeps bees, so if that happens to be relevant, I do have limited experience in that arena - though I would need a bit of a refresher.

Reviews



Amanda was awesome! She took care of our dogs very well, kept us updated, and sent plenty of pictures. We will definitely use her again.
Amanda takes EXCELLENT care of her fur baby, Doce, and provides that same care to all animals. She is responsible, responsive and flexible. Amanda has experience with all different types of animals including dogs, cats, hedgehogs and more! Highly recommend Amanda for all your pet care and sitting needs!
Amanda is great with animals, she has cared for my two dogs and cat and I would recommend her services. She is patient with my overly exuberant large hound as well as my anxious smaller dog. Even my antisocial cat enjoys her care and company. She is reliable and friendly.
