Intuitive, Caring, and Dependable!
Pet care experience
Hi there, I’m Amanda! I am a very intuitive, caring, and dependable animal caretaker. My professional experience includes four years working with dogs and cats at a boarding and grooming facility. My role involved organizing play groups and administering medications, feeding, bathing, and caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and personality types. In addition, I have been a trusted pet caretaker for traveling friends and acquaintances for many years.I also grew up with my best dog-friend, Amber, who I trained from puppy-hood through her rebellious teen years (no joke!). We spent countless hours together on walks in the woods, and she remained, for her whole life, my kindest friend. One of my greatest assets as an animal caretaker is my intuition and patience. I am especially good with nervous animals. My calm demeanor and willingness to patiently allow the animal to adjust to a new person or circumstance has always helped to gain the trust of pets, even those who are very fearful. I was often the only one at the boarding facility that could administer medications to nervous dogs because I had spent the time to gain their trust. Whatever your animal’s personality type, needs, and preferences, I would love to hang out with your furry family member -- walking, playing, feeding and helping them to live their best animal life!
Reviews
Amanda was once again lovely to my shy and nervous little cat friends. Thanks Amanda!
Amanda was available and prompt to stop by and give my pup a walk while I was recovering from a recent surgery. Much appreciated. Sent a cute pic and went for a nice stroll along the pond with him which he loved.
Amanda was attentive and understanding of my two very shy kitties. Five stars!
I’ve never met anyone who loves animals more than Amanda! She pets every dog she sees and has lovingly cared for my dogs and cats over the years. There isn’t anything she wouldn’t do for an animal. I can’t think of anyone better to care for my pets!
About Amanda F.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have 10+ years of experience maintaining a safe home environment for pets of all ages, including kittens and puppies. This includes making sure that outdoor play areas are fully enclosed before allowing off-leash play, ensuring that any hazardous objects are inaccessible both inside and outside the home, studying medication instructions in detail and asking questions beforehand of anything is unclear, as well as staying alert on walks to prepare for a dog's impulse to chase or lunge.
Information Amanda F. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know your pet's favorite toys/games to play! Please let me know if your dog/cat has any special needs or medication instructions and I will gladly care for these needs. In addition, if there is anything that makes your pet especially nervous, or if there is a particular brand of mischeif they are fond of, knowing this information would help me to ensure their safety and comfort.
A typical day
I live in Jamaica Plain and love to go on walks in all the green spaces nearby, Jamaica Pond, the Arboretum, Franklin Park. And I look forward to discovering new spots that your pet might love to visit! I enjoy working on dog training and am happy to continue any new skills that you might already be working on with your pet. I will also provide a lot of play time to active cats and dogs.
