Highlights
Pet care experience
Live what you love!
Hello! I've cared for dogs, exotic birds, cats, squirrels, sugar gliders, and even chickens. I am comfortable caring for special needs animals, older animals and some* babies, and administering medications. I have experience with service dogs and I'm happy caring for Chihuahuas all the way up to Great Danes. ---> □ All of my prices are flexible. Rover has me put in a value per animal which can get expensive so definitely talk to me and we can work something out! I have a 20% off promo code for first time users. ☆ I can also wash and dry most animals, trim cats, birds, and dogs' nails, and properly clip a bird's wings so they cannot fly away or over fences(chickens). This includes trimming some* small animals nails. These activites really depend on your pet and if I can safely do it. I cannot give cute haircuts as I'm not a groomer. ☆ I am also experienced in basic dog training if you need help calming your pet, so they stop jumping on people or potty training. For the training to take effect, however, I'd need more than a one-time visit with. Recurring walks are okay, but if you have issues you want me to address when they are inside the house, my walks won't be able to target the behavior.]

Safety, trust & environment
No matter what serivce I'm providing I will make sure they (the pets) get enough potty breaks, exercise regularly, are hydrated and healthy, and have a great fun time! We can even try some simple training to keep them alert and happy for treats. I am also really good with anxious or hyper pets. I've been told I'm good at reassuring them and keeping them calm while their parents are away.
Ratings and reviews
I used Amanda for housesitting for the first time while we went on vacation for five days. I knew she was going to be good for both of my dogs because of how thorough she was ahead of time and learning about them and asking a lot of questions.She did a great job not only with the dogs, but how she kept my house in order as well. She was always checking in and providing statuses mornings, evenings and before they went to bed at night. She spent time with both dogs in the backyard and she even let the one sleep in the bed with her without any problems. I would definitely recommend Amanda’s services, and I would also utilize her again in the future.
Took excellent care of my two dogs and cats who all have particularities and she checked in multiple times per day. Thanks Rain!
Amanda did amazing with our corsos. Sent regular updates and cards for them as if they were her own.
My flight was delayed and she accommodated me and stayed and extra night, best sitter I could ask for!
Amanda has cat sat my two girls a few times. She has won them over to the point of snuggles. Will be booking her again.
Amanda was very attentive and responsive. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her. She cared for him like one of her own and understood his needs as an anxious, senior pup. We will definitely use Amanda again!

Schedule
I started Rover as a college student with a pretty open schedule. Now I have a full time job from M-F, 7am-3pm. Due to this, I can only accommodate bookings that fall on weekends, or bookings where the pets are used to their owners leaving for work for 8 hours.

- Please, let me know if your babies do or do not like other animals, are aggressive towards street cats, squirrels, people, or even skateboards. Have lease or food aggression. Please, let me know if they have any allergies, pollen, and food-wise. Or of other animals because I'd need to deep wash my clothes. If they have special needs, like being nearly blind or deaf, or need medication. Do they have certain anxieties, like taking baths, thunder, loud noises, having their nails clipped, having people touch them somewhere or even separation anxiety? If they do, how do they deal with stress? Do they shut down and refuse food, pee everywhere, scratch and bite themselves, etc. Please kindly let me know in advance, so I know the best way to care for them.
