Pet care experience

Responsible, kind, honest.

Hi! And thank you for taking the time to check me out! The TL;DR version: 🐾 Profession: Full-time pet care provider (8+ years of experience). 💼 Certifications: CPR & First Aid certified; fully insured. 📝 R+ (Positive reinforcement only) Trainer Certification 🐕 Experience: Dogs, cats, pigs, cows, chickens, ducks, turkeys, and fish, bunnies, frogs, rats, hedgehogs. 👩‍👧‍👦 Family: Mom of 3 with an English Bulldog and Chihuahua; kids sometimes join me. ⏰ Availability: Early mornings, late afternoons, evenings, and weekends. 📋 Approach: Reliable, personalized care to fit your pet’s routine. Each visit is tailored to your families needs. The deeper dive: Since moving to Chapel Hill, NC in 2019, I’ve built a loyal client base by offering reliable daily dog-walking services and extended pet care tailored to each family’s needs. Pet care is my full-time profession, and I am CPR and First Aid certified, R+ Trainer Certified (positive reinforcement only), as well as independently insured (though I’ve never had to file a claim). Your pets are my top priority, and I pride myself on providing personalized care to ensure their happiness and safety. Whether you're looking for daily walks, drop-ins, home care visits (water plants/collect mail) or occasional extended pet sitting, I’d love to discuss how I can support your pet’s routine and your peace of mind! The Details **Experience**: 8+ years as a dedicated pet care provider. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, pigs, cows, chickens, ducks, turkeys, and fish, frogs, rats and hedgehogs. **Availability**: Typically BOOKED between 10:30 AM and 2:00 PM, but I’m currently accepting early morning, late afternoon, evening, and weekend clients. New availability from 8a-10a!!! **Family-Friendly Dogs**: I have two children who occasionally accompany me, so I require pets to be family-friendly. Accommodations can be made depending on time of day needed. **Certifications**: CPR and First Aid certified. R+ Training Certificate. **Insurance**: Fully insured outside of the Rover guarantee. About Me I’m a New York transplant and a proud mom of three (one grown, 2 at home) living in Chapel Hill. My family and I adore animals, especially our English Bulldog and chihuahua. Having transitioned from working mom to stay-at-home mom, I understand the challenge of leaving your “fur babies” behind. That’s why I offer dependable, loving care to give you peace of mind. When I’m not caring for pets, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family traveling. I also hold an associate degree in Science and strive to bring professionalism, kindness, and reliability to every client relationship. My Approach After a meet-and-greet to understand your pet’s needs and routine, I’ll follow your instructions to maintain their schedule as closely as possible. I believe consistency helps minimize stress and ensures a happy, healthy pet for you to come home to.

Safety, trust & environment

After a meet and greet to get to know you and your pets, as well as their needs, I will follow your instructions to maintain your pet's schedule as closely as possible. Animals, especially dogs are creatures of habit, and having their humans away can be stressful. I believe maintaining their normal schedule helps reduce stress for a happy pet to come home to! I am independently insured and CPR/First Aid certified.

It was wonderful to travel feeling confident that our two cats were being well cared for, especially because we are new to town. Amanda was reliable, a good communicator, and attentive. When one of our cats had a potential medical issue, she was proactive and really helpful to ensure the issue was quickly resolved. Highly recommend!

Amanda was wonderful! Kept my unruly dogs entertained on their walks and sent me lots of pictures and updates to ease my dog mom anxiety while I was out of town.

Schedule

You can rest assured knowing pet care is my full-time job. My full attention will always be on the safety and care of your loving pets. I am mostly booked from 1030am to 2pm but am taking daily clients in the early morning or later afternoon. I am also available for services in the evenings and on the weekends.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Amanda can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
It would be helpful to know what they are afraid of, if they are aggressive/fearful to other dogs, what their favorite toy is, if they need medication (and all the specifications along with it), and where they are used to going to the bathroom. What commands do they know and follow? I have no breed preferences, however, all pets must be child-friendly.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
