Trustworthy & passionate VT student

Pet care experience

I have experience with a wide variety of animals, from as small as a dwarf hamster to as big as a great dane. Some of the dog owners who I have helped in the past have left testimonials on my profile. With a passion for animals, I recently adopted a puppy in August and have taught him basic demands and potty trained him. I have also learned how to administer oral medication and eye drops to dogs. Before COVID-19, I would volunteer at the Montogomery Animal Shelter to help socialize the dogs & cats. At the age of 12, I started watching dogs for my family and friends. I offer both overnight boarding and daily check-ins to walk and feed the dogs.

Amanda is a responsible and experienced caretaker for dogs! She always prioritizes the safety and comfort of her pets and has had extensive experience interacting and caring for a variety of different types of dogs for long periods of time. She pays great attention to detail when it comes to the health of pets and makes sure they are fed on time as well as getting adequate exercise and sleep. In addition to direct responsibilities, she is loving and affectionate towards every dog she meets and has an exceptional ability to connect with them. She would be an excellent caretaker for any dog!

It is no secret that Amanda is a true dog lover and is great with animals. She ensures that they are well feed and walked at the necessary time as I have seen first handedly with other dogs, including her own. She is extremely qualified and responsible. I am confident that by choosing Amanda as your dog caregiver, your animal will be loved and safe. She is truly a great and caring person; who will do anything to ensure the safety and well being of your furry friend!

Amanda has been so sweet with my fur baby, Tucker - he absolutely adores her. She has also done a great job with her puppy, Baxter. Her calm and patient demeanor are just a few of the many reasons that I would recommend her to my own friends and family!
