Love walking/playing with dogs/cats
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs my whole life and love them just as much as you do! I understand that your pet is more than just a pet, he/she is your companion and best friend. I have 2 dogs: a 7 year old pit mix named Zena and a 4 year old boxer mix named Frankie, and I will take care of your pet the same way I care for them. I am reliable, trust-worthy and dedicated to the happiness, health, wellness and safety of your pet and to making sure that your animal feels like I am part of the family while taking care of them. I was a puppy/young adult dog foster for almost 2 years until I foster failed with my younger girl Frankie. During 2020, I worked full-time at a local animal shelter for a year as an animal caregiver, so I have lots of experience with dogs and cats of all ages! I am am available for walks and drop in-visits during the week and sometimes on weekends. Please reach out to me as I am very flexible and would love to accommodate your needs. I look forward to spending time with your pets!
Reviews
Amanda was great to work with. Very trustworthy and good with pets. She took great care of my cat and kept me updated each day on when she was coming to check on him and shared how he was doing!
Amanda did a great job walking our energetic pup, Islay!! We appreciated her flexibility with scheduling, professionalism, and clear communication! Will definitely book with Amanda again.
Amanda was so great in walking our pups and being communicative through the process!
Amanda does a great job walking Margot. She is flexible and communicates often.

Safety, trust & environment
I have experience with all types of dogs from my time working at an animal shelter so I am prepared for different animal personalities and dynamics, including cats. I have been a sitter on Rover for over 4 years with lots of repeat clients.
Information Amanda C. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any breed preferences as I have watched all different types and ages of dogs in the past. I have fostered over 40 puppies before so I know how to handle separation anxiety and teething and I can also help with house-training, crate-training, and learning commands. I would like to know how you reward your dog as well as how much and what types of exercise your dog enjoys best! I would like to know what and when your dog likes to eat, what toys they like to play with, and any medical conditions that your dog may have. I would also know what they usually like to do at the same time I will be with them so we can keep a consistent schedule for your furry family member!
A typical day
There are a few large parks near my apartment! I have a frisbee and tennis balls to play with your dog. I am very active and can go on runs with your dog if you would like them to burn off a ton of energy. Or if they love a nice car-ride, we can ride around with the windows down as well!

I am currently working part-time, so I have time throughout the day to check in on or walk your pets. Besides caring for my own 2 dogs, I would love to help care for yours!
