Uptown - Dogsitting and Walking!

Pet care experience

Hello, I am Amanda, a compassionate individual residing in a spacious condominium that is conveniently situated just a brief 5-minute drive away from an off-leash dog park. Prior to embarking on my nursing career, I harbored aspirations to become a veterinarian. My venture into the world of animal care commenced with volunteering at a veterinary clinic, further enriched by my role at a pet store in Vaughan. This diverse exposure has equipped me with a profound understanding and a wealth of knowledge regarding the care of domesticated animals. My journey in animal companionship began with Gordo, a beloved Bichon Frise, whose presence blessed our family until he passed away due to old age. The lessons gleaned from his companionship instilled in me the fundamentals of responsible pet ownership. Endowed with a fervent love for the outdoors, my active lifestyle has seen me partake in marathons, soccer matches, and volleyball games over the years. This background assures an ability to match the energy levels of your canine companion. Acknowledging the uniqueness of each dog's personality, I am committed to showering them with boundless love and care. With meticulous attention to detail, rest assured that your precious doggo or pupper will receive nothing less than exceptional treatment under my watchful eye.

Amanda was great, reliable and kept us up to date while we were away. I would recommend her in a heart beat and will definitely use her again!

Amanda is great! She took great care of Vito and was kept me updated while I was away. Vito was very happy and tired when I picked him up, so 5 stars from him too.

Amanda takes care of my mini schnauzer Siu Mai on a regular basis. She is dedicated, attentive and is a natural with my little guy, who has a lot of energy and personality. Amanda understands his needs perfectly when it comes to exercise, fun and rest. I come home a happy dog every time Amanda looks after him. She is very organized, responsible and communicates super quickly. I highly recommend her to you and your pet!

I got connected with Amanda (through air bnb) and my Tobey feel in love with her right away. I was so sad when she left LA to go back home because I really would have loved for her to continue to dog sit and walk my tobey, especially since it 's really hard to find somebody that is good and trustworthy. Thanks Amanda for being so kind and taking him for hikes and keeping him so happy ohh and for all the amazing pics you took! Tobey and I can't wait till you come back and visit LA again, hopefully soon!!

Safety, trust & environment

Furthermore, the spacious yard located on the premises serves as an emergency relief area, should the need arise. Living in a pet-friendly building allows for a seamless integration of your dog into the community, fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie among fellow animal enthusiasts. Leveraging my nursing expertise, I am well-prepared to handle emergencies and provide immediate care and attention to your dog should any health concerns arise. Your pet's welfare is my top priority, and I am dedicated to offering a nurturing and reliable environment for them to thrive in.
