Friendly, Dependable Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I've grown up with dogs in my family and have a special place in my heart for four-legged creatures (dogs and cats included). I regularly take care of my brother's dog when he is out of town (a 145-pound Great Dane who still thinks he is a puppy), and I often watch friends' cats and dogs for them when they are on vacation or work trips. I am friendly, laid-back, dependable, and absolutely love spending time with animals. I also love hiking and being outside, so any excuse to go for a long walk with a dog after work or on the weekend is right up my alley. Since I've grown up with dogs, I have experience with training on leash etiquette (healing, waiting to cross the street, etc.), so am happy to help instill those skills while walking your pup if you'd like. I look forward to walking and/or sitting your dog or cat soon!

Amanda took great care of our dog Chloe while we were out of town for the weekend. Would definitely recommend!

Amanda was fantastic! I could really tell Odin had a great weekend with her. I would highly suggest her to anyone and will definitely use her services again!

Amanda is one of those gentle souls to whom all dogs are attracted. They just love her from the get-go. She's been dog sitting for years for friends and relatives, so she has lots of experience with a wide variety of breeds (e.g., Great Danes; Labs; Terriers). She also had a beloved Lab as a kid that she still talks about. I trust Amanda completely with my dog and my home; she's always my #1 choice when I need a dog walker/sitter.

Amanda is our go-to for cat care for our admittedly high-maintenance little dudes. She's great with them - always there with a snuggle and some quality time, and doesn't get fazed when I have to ask her to introduce a new medication procedure. Our boys love her (possibly more than us!) and you won't regret hiring her!
