Information Amanda D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, their comfort levels around other people and dogs as well as kids (in case we see a child on a walk or out and about).

I wake up early around 6/7 am and prioritize the potty breaks first. I am an avid outdoors person so I love taking dogs on hikes, long walks, swimming (during the warmer months) and going to Jamesville Off Leash dog park (if you’d like).

Pet care experience

I have lived with and taken care of both dogs and cats my entire life. I know the in's and out's of anticipating their needs, reading body language and behaviors to make sure they are being taken care of to the best of my ability. Nothing makes me happier than playing, cuddling and taking care of animals and I would love to provide that for yours! Special Skills: -6 month experience/training from a popular holistic pet store in the PNW (MudBay), training included basic care for puppies, adolescents and senior dogs, prevention of fleas/ticks, how to read dog & cat behaviors and what they might mean and more. -Active lifestyle, happy to go on long walks, runs, etc -Responsible, reliable transportation, communicative

Amanda was excellent. She was very communicative and asked me my preferences ahead of time to have accurate expectations. I was confident that my pups and house were well cared for.

Amanda was great! She spent plenty of time with our kitties, made time to meet them before hand, and made sure all of their needs were accounted for while we were away. Can't thank her enough!!

Amanda was great with my fur babies, they were taken care of and given lots of pets. Amanda was great with communication and answered all my questions promptly, I would absolutely use Amanda again for my next trip out of town.
