Highlights
Pet care experience
The Modern Age Fur Nanny
I have grown up surrounded by animals—cats, dogs, fish, birds, and even a turtle named Harry who’s still swimming with us today (he was born before I was!). I have hands-on experience with pets at all life stages and understand the unique care each phase requires. From playful kittens and puppies to senior pets needing extra comfort, my empathy runs deep. I’m also comfortable administering medications and using pet inhalers. I live just a 10-minute walk from Bennett Park and 15 minutes from Fort Tryon Park—perfect spots for pups to enjoy nature, fresh air, and the sounds of birds in a calming, sensory-rich environment. My apartment is a peaceful, pet-safe space where your companion will feel safe and cared for. I currently share my home with Chapito, my affectionate and playful cat. He’s 1.5 years old and full of energy, but he’s also sensitive to the mood in the room—knowing when it’s time to play and when it’s time to wind down. I also live with my grandmother and aunt, both lifelong animal lovers. While I’ll be the one directly responsible for your pet’s care, their warm presence creates a calm and cozy, family-like environment that many pets really enjoy. Your companion will never feel alone in our home. If you are looking for someone reliable, empathetic and nurturing who will communicate with you thoroughly about your babies' well being-I am your pick!

Ratings and reviews
Amanda was excellent with our baby girl, Fig! At only 6 months old, our pup is surely a handful but she was in great hands with Amanda! She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay and kept Fig on her usual schedule. Hope to book her again- highly recommend!
Amanda was great. She was very professional and kind, she took great care of my cat Piper and apartment. I got lots of upstates and photos, Piper seemed to warm up to her immediately and was at peace when I returned home. Would book again!
amanda was such a godsend with my cognitively impaired senior pup. she was super communicative and demonstrated so much compassion and understanding toward junie. my pup has had a difficult time with dementia and incontinence, and amanda proved to be such a loving companion to her while i was away for the weekend.
Amanda was awesome. My old curmudgeon of a cat warmed to her immediately
Amanda D. cancelled a booking 4 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Excellent! It is so great to return home to find the place and our kitty in tip top shape!! Thanks so much!!! We are so pleased!

Schedule
I currently have an open schedule so I would be very flexible on days and times that anyone needs. I am an early bird so I do try to get to everyone early, but I have no issue with individual requests.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my clients home, I make sure any exists are locked when I enter and leave, aware of the floor as I am near any exist as pets do like to run sometimes. I always check for stoves to be off, any electronics to be okay and not overheating. During summer I make sure pets stay cool however the family sees fit. This could also just mean cracking a window which usually should have a mesh screen, but windows do stay cracked open enough for their faces to feel fresh air. I clean the space at least once every few days depending on number of pets. Making sure there are no hazards or dangerous accidents that could potentially occur. In public, your pet will never be left alone nor unattended by my own eyes. If a situation seems unsafe for them, there is no hesitation by me to remove us from the equation. I do encourage a 'no-pressure' introduction meeting prior to official booking, it can gage how both the pet and you feel with having me service you!
A typical day
We will have loads of fun exploring the areas around the neighborhood, smelling trees. Maybe a little run after a squirrel or two for the lore. We will engage in at home activities as well, like tug of war or just some pampering. Everyone loves their hair brushed and faced wiped with a fresh towel!
