Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pet’s Second-Favorite Human
I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, gerbils, and rabbits, giving me hands-on experience with both small pets and larger companions. My background as a veterinary technician allows me to confidently handle medication administration, monitor health and behavior changes, and respond calmly in urgent situations. My zoo keeping experiencing also aids in my ability to understand how important enrichment and cleanliness are to your pet's overall happiness. Utilizing knowledge gained from prior puppy and adolescent dog training courses, also helps me with walking, hiking, and in house behaviors.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, whether in my home or in my client’s home, to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, walks or exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall health, and I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages. My home is equipped with 2 outdoor security cameras as well as a fully fenced in yard. In a client’s home, I respect the space while ensuring pets receive consistent care, enrichment, and companionship. In my home, pets are given a calm, safe environment with supervision, structured routines, and positive reinforcement. With my veterinary technician experience and animal care and dog training certifications, I’m able to administer medications, support training, care for puppies, and provide gentle, attentive care for senior pets. My goal is always to keep pets happy, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away.
Ratings and reviews
Our Rorie loved Amanda. Amanda was great with her and took lots of pictures. I would hire Amanda again. Personal note, Amanda thanks so much for the pictures you left for us. They are beautiful!
Amazing sitter! So caring and easy for our dogs to get along with, can’t recommend Amanda enough!
Amanda is professional, personable, and reliable. I have never had anyone dog sit besides my mother and am new to this area- so I was a little aprehensive about a dog sitter, but having Amanda stop by a couple times a week helps out tremedously. She sends lots of pictures, and is very responsive. My dogs and I appreciate her visits...even my old dog Fiona, who is very hesitant of new people. Amanda is a fantastic dog sitter and I would recommend her services to anyone!
Amanda was absolutely wonderful with our dogs and treated them as her own. She was super caring and attentive and made sure they were well taken care of. Would absolutely recommend her for any of your Rover needs!
In the many years I've known Amanda, she has always shown love and dedication to all animals in her life. She has cared for several of my pets, including both dogs and cats, and her personal passion for animal care, in addition to her professional experience in both vet and zoo settings, assures me that my fur babies are always in the best hands. Incredibly organized, reliable, and friendly, you and your pet will gain a wonderful new friend in Amanda! She has my highest recommendation.
Amanda is a true animal lover! We have had her care for our cats many times and she always treats our fur babies with love and respect. She loves to walk and hike, so is also an excellent choice for doggies! We trust Amanda with our cats and in our home.

Schedule
Pet care is a natural and consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, hikes, play, and individualized attention to ensure each pet’s needs are met. With a flexible work schedule, I am able to provide in-home care 3 days a week uninterrupted and with a local home location, am able to check in on days in the office as well. Whether it’s daily check-ins, walks, or extended stays, I make sure every pet receives reliable, compassionate care as part of my regular routine—not as an afterthought.
