Compassionate Care for All
Hi there! I'm a former special education teacher and a lifelong animal lover who believes every pet deserves patience, understanding, and lots of love. I have a senior cat and a French bulldog with mobility issues of my own. As a former special education teacher who worked with students with significant support needs, I've developed a calm, compassionate approach and plenty of patience—skills that translate surprisingly well to pet care! I'm currently working at a groomer’s in Edwards hoping to learn the trade. Therefore I am comfortable working with dogs and cats of all sizes, abilities, personalities and age. This includes seniors, puppies, reactive, shy, or high-energy, and I enjoy taking the time to build trust at their pace. I am also very skilled in behavior modification so I am capable and willing to follow any puppy training protocols as well. I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Expect plenty of belly rubs, playtime, and photo updates along the way. I can't wait to meet your furry family member!

Ratings and reviews
Amanda has watched our two dogs on multiple occasions and she stays at our house. The dogs both love her and the attention she gives them. We get regular updates and clear communication. One of our dogs is high energy and the other is an anxious senior and both are always happy and calm when we come home. We’ve recommended Amanda to friends when they are going away and need help.

Schedule
My work schedule is pretty flexible so I can let them out in the morning and be home at a reasonable time to let them out. I am single and older so I am home more often to spend time with them and treat them like my own.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a very mellow frenchie of my own to keep them company. He loves having friends. My pets are my babies and I will treat yours the same way. As a teacher who worked with children with significant support needs, I am patient, flexible, understanding, responsible and believe in establishing trusting relationships with students, fur friends, and owners.
Pets
A typical day
I love to play in any way that your animal prefers. Puzzles, throwing a ball, etc. I am willing to try almost everything and I will absolutely be overly affectionate with them because I can’t resist hugging any animals…unless they are anti PDA in which case I will honor their boundaries :)
