Pet care experience
Hi! I am mom to Ben, an 8 month old rescue hound mix, as well as two 5 year old cats, Niko and Thor. I have previously had an orange Tabby named Garfield whom I had for all of his 20 years of life, and a rescue pit bull named Anji whom I rescued at 11 1/2 and had until she passed at 15 1/2. The experience I have with both young and old dogs and cats makes me an excellent sitter for your pet! I am very active and attentive so I can handle puppy energy. I also am very experienced with senior animals. Towards the end of Anji's life she needed help and patience with pretty much all of her daily tasks. I needed to lift her hips when she got stuck sitting down or in an awkward position, she needed guidance on stairs, a very slow paced walk, and even help with eating and cleaning her face. I am also comfortable providing different forms of medications (injections, topicals, pills). I have been around dogs and cats my whole life. Additionally, I have years of experience with dog walking and volunteering at shelters. Volunteering has provided me with training for handling all types of dogs and recognizing their body language. When I do house visits, I try to leave your home cleaner than when I arrived. You can trust that I will give your pets the best care! I am a grad student with a pretty flexible schedule, so I am able to fit several care visits and walks into most days of the week. I try to gently introduce myself to the dogs or cats when I enter their space, letting them observe my energy and smell me first.

Amanda always takes the best care of our cat and dog! I feel like I don’t have to worry at all when I am out of town because I know they will be happy in her care.
Amanda as always took great care of my boys and left me a detailed recap! She is the best! Thanks Amanda!
We have hired Amanda so many times. She takes such good care of our pups. She’s incredibly attentive and responsive. I know my dogs truly enjoy her care and it puts me at ease knowing we have the best pet sitter!!!!
My cat, Sabrina, was quite the grumpypuss this time around but Amanda was still able to give her some love (while respecting her boundaries). I also truly appreciated the thorough updates!

Information Amanda G. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any behavioral issues your cat or dog has. Do they not like to be pet in certain areas? Do they not like other cats, dogs, people, small children, etc? Is there a tendency for them to try to get out? Do they have any allergies? What is their energy level? And really just anything else you can think of that is imperative for their care!
A typical day
Whether it's a cat or a dog, I try to find out what it is they like to do or how they like to play. If a dog or cat prefers to just hang out, I can cuddle/pet them or just be with them if they do not like to be touched. If there's a certain activity they really enjoy, like fetch, I'll do that as well!
