Pet care experience
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! By the way I have a 20% off promo code for first time users. ♡ I'm also a professional photographer and love doing pet portraits. So expect cute photos! ☆ 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.]
Reviews
Amanda took great care of our boys while we were away! It’s our second time using her and she does amazing!
Amanda is the best dog sitter we’ve had. She’s great at giving us updates and keeping our dogs in their routine and comfortable:
Amanda was amazing with our two pups! She took great care of them for us for a weekend. She made sure to send updates throughout the day, which was awesome! We will definitely be using her again!
Amanda was a great host for Moose. Very courteous and in touch the whole time. With photos and updates. She was really flexible when we ran into a problem getting home on time. Very Highly Recommended!

I can now house animals at my apartment!!! I even have a small back yard. In general however, 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.
Home
Information Amanda B. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
We will play fetch, runabout, check out the new smells, try some simple tricks. When they get tuckered out we can lay under a tree and rehydrate and get belly rubs. Meet other dogs if they like other animals or people. I will probably do a mini photoshoot with them because I love taking cute photos.

I'm currently a senior getting a bachelor's degree in Biotechnology. I'm doing Spring semester classes and working in a lab Monday and Wednesdays. Fridays - Sundays: I am usually free most on the weekends after 2pm Friday. However, I wall a dog named Rudy 6 days a week so I need to be able to leave for 1 hour to do that.
