Pet care experience

Experience w/ all kinds of animals!

Hi, I’m Amanda! I grew up on a farm in rural upstate New York, where caring for animals was part of everyday life. I am very comfortable handling animals with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. Because of that background, I’m calm, observant, and confident when it comes to animal care. I understand how important consistency, safety, and attention are, whether it’s feeding routines, exercise, or just spending quality time with your pet. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and treat every pet with patience, respect, and care like they’re my own. ⸻ 🐶 My Experience * Lifelong hands-on experience with farm and household animals * Comfortable with large, high-energy, or strong dogs * Experienced with shy, independent, or senior pets * Confident managing multiple animals at once * Familiar with feeding schedules, cleaning, and basic care routines ⸻ ❤️ My Care Style I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions carefully and make sure your pet gets: * Fresh food and water * Exercise and/or playtime * Bathroom breaks or litter care * Attention and companionship * A clean and safe environment I’m attentive to behavior changes and will always communicate if anything seems off. ⸻ 📸 Updates & Communication You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away. ⸻ 🤝 Meet & Greets I’m happy to do a Meet & Greet before booking to make sure we’re a good fit and to go over your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions. ⸻ 🦴 Services Offered Cat sitting * Dog walking * Drop-in visits * House sitting (optional to enable now or later) ⸻ ⭐ Why Choose Me Growing up on a farm taught me responsibility, awareness, and how to read animal behavior early. I’m reliable, calm in new situations, and genuinely enjoy caring for animals—not just watching them. ⸻ 💬 Closing Line I’d love to meet you and your pet—feel free to reach out with any questions! ⸻ Optional Add-On (if true for you) * “Available for early morning, evening, and weekend care” * “Comfortable administering basic medications if instructions are provided”

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I take care of pets in their own homes so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I stick to their normal routine—feeding, cleaning, playtime, and attention—and make sure they feel safe and relaxed. I treat both the pets and the home with respect and always keep owners updated.

Amanda was very friendly, communicative, and provided lots of photo updates during the stay, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, there were several issues that prevent me from giving a higher rating. Despite reviewing my alarm system in-person and providing written instructions with photos, the alarm was accidentally triggered multiple times. More concerning, my front door was left open and my dog got out while she was away. Thankfully, my landscapers spotted him and were able to secure him safely. While I appreciated her communication and kindness, these incidents caused significant stress and left me with concerns about attention to detail and my dog’s safety.

Amanda was fantastic. We don’t let anyone watch our dogs. This was especially true this time since one just passed a few days ago and our dogs have been upset by the loss. I highly recommend her.

I highly recommend Amanda as a pet sitter. She is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely loves animals. I’ve seen firsthand how attentive she is—making sure they are comfortable, well cared for, and happy. She pays attention to details, plays with them , gives them lots of love , and goes the extra mile to ensure peace of mind for pet owners. Any pet would be lucky to be in her care.i have an Akita and he just loves her .
