I love cats and dogs just the same!

Pet care experience

Whether you are on the road for a few days or weeks, either for business or pleasure, one thing remains the same; your pet's need for companionship and responsible loving care while you are away. By maintaining your pet's routine in the comfort of their own home, I provide security, comfort, and a sense of well being for your pet. Pet sitting is ideal for your pets, your home, and for your peace of mind. You can put your mind at ease as you drive away, knowing your pet is being well cared for. Keep reading for more info about me, my availability, and what you can expect from me. It's a long read, but I know if I was looking to hire a pet sitter I would want to know as much as possible about them. Who I am: My name is Amanda. I began working as a pet nanny in 2015. Quickly, I realized how rewarding and fulfilling it is. It opened my eyes to the idea that there are truly loving and caring owners in the world despite what you see and hear about in the news and on social media. I've owned pets since I was a child and have had a cat ever since! I've primarily owned cats and have two - Millie & Jackie. I also have an African Grey Parrot (Baby Boy) and a Bearded Dragon (Aussie). I adopted them all except Aussie and kept their adopted names as well. My dogs Shadow and Harley crossed over the rainbow bridge. Also worth mentioning, I had a ridiculous obsession with Hermit Crabs for a few years and recently got back in to keeping them! I currently have 15 hermies distributed between a 55 gallon tank, a 40 gallon, and a 20 gallon. My housemate cares for our pets when I'm away from home. In addition to pet sitting, I'm currently a part-time Phlebotomist in Schnecksville and part-time Pharmacy Tech in Northampton. My availability for pet sitting varies but I would be thrilled to coordinate your needs around my schedule. In addition to house sitting, I am available for dog walking & let outs but on a limited schedule. I also offer cat sitting. I'm open for discussion! Whenever I'm not at work, I am with your pets. That being said, I am a perfect fit for your house/dog sitting needs if your pets can be left alone during the hours I work; on average that is 4-6 hours away from home per shift, often times twice a day. For this reason, my rates are half of what they would if I was available 24/7. My work schedule in Schnecksville is M-F, 7a-11a, every other Saturday. I work most weeknights in Northampton 3-8 pm. What is house sitting? It means living in your home and taking care of your pets from the comfort and security of their own home. It also means security of the home itself. It includes complimentary services such as poop-scoop duty, bringing in the mail, watering plants, making sure the house is always locked, etc. I will be by myself. *Sometimes my significant other who lives out of state visits, but I would request permission to invite him in to your home.* There's many times, with his flexibility, he can be with your pets when I can't be. That means even more time for companionship for your pets and even more potty breaks. There is a discount when you book for 3 days or more. More than one pet?: For my standard rate, I do not charge according to the number of pets you have, but this can change at my discretion. I prefer to have meet and greets and demonstrations for feeding and administering medication.

Good Evening Dog Lovers< Amanda watched my 2 dogs and one turtle for my trip to California. She came and met the crew and, in no time, bonded with them; Michael (the collie) followed her around like she was his second mother. She was responsible and went above and beyond her obligations. I plan on using her again whenever I travel! Michael, Tinkerbelle, and ET gave her 5 BARKS!!!

We had Amanda come take care of our fur-kids for the day and she was great! She listened patiently and attentively as I explained everything related to their care, sent me pictures throughout the day as requested, and the animals were happy! We have already booked her services again and we look forward to many more days of care!

Amanda was completely fantastic.!She took excellent care of our fur-babies and was right on top of any concerns. Amanda sent regular pictures. We had tried kenneling in the past, but it was too stressful. With in-home sitting and care, our fur-babies were not overly stressed, would eat, and were given lots of attention and love. Amanda will always be our go-to for house-sitting!

I’ve requested Amanda on several occasions now to house sit with my 4 cats. She’s reliable, professional and gives many updates as to how they are doing. My cats love her and the experience has been great for all of us. I will definitely request her services again and again !
