Animal lover since childhood!
Pet care experience
I've lived with animals since birth; dogs, cats, hamsters, you name it. I love animals like children and they are certainly treated like it when they are with me. I currently have three small dogs; a chihuahua mix and two dachshund mixes, but I have experience with dogs of all sizes! My childhood dog was a german shepherd mix, so I am certainly not intimidated by large fur babies! Since I am so animal centered, I have patience with different issues as well. Accidents inside the house, sleeping on furniture/beds are not a problem in my home. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Reviews
I've had Amanda house sit for me twice now and I probably will every time I go out of town. I have a cat and 2 ferrets that needed to be watched and she was great with them! My cat specifically doesn't really like new people, but he warmed up to Amanda extremely fast. She very obviously LOVES animals so I had no doubt in my mind that she would take wonderful care of them. 10 out of 5, would reccommend.
Amanda took amazing care of our boys. Kelso is a little ferocious but Amanda took him on fearlessly and got him out of his shell. Oliver loves her so much too! Amanda is extremely caring of all animals and makes sure they are taken care of like her own pets. I would without a doubt have her watch them again!
Amanda was an intrical part of the doggie day care/per sitting service I had in Chesapeake, VA. She always provided efficient, and thorough care in a patient, and loving manner. Her focus was always making sure the animals were comfortable and content. Very dependable and organized.
