Amanda can care for
Availability
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I don’t work outside the home due to health limitations, so caring for your pets, along with my own will be my only focus other than school. Your pets receive consistent attention, predictable routines, and a calm presence throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment
I do not offer boarding, but I’m happy to care for your pets in your home. I can take your dog for walks, play with them in your yard, or provide enrichment indoors. If needed, I can crate your dog safely and make crate time positive with enrichment and comfort items. My goal is always to follow your routine, so your pet feels secure.
Information Amanda J. would like to know about your pet
To give your pet the best care, I like to know: Their health history & vet/emergency vet location Your daily routine and how strict it is Activity level and exercise needs Dietary restrictions or feeding rules Behaviors I should be aware of (counter surfing, trash diving, nipping, etc.) The more I know, the better I can match your pet’s normal routine. Every pet has their own quirks, and I love learning them. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, food‑motivated, or has unique habits, I’m happy to adapt. Just let me know what makes them “them” so I can help them feel comfortable and understood.
A typical day
I tailor activities to each pet’s age, energy level, and comfort. This may include: For Cats Food‑based enrichment (lick mats, puzzle feeders, scatter feeding) Interactive play like wand toys, feather teasers, or laser sessions Calm, confidence‑building activities for shy or nervous cats Routine‑based care: feeding, litter scooping, medication, and quiet companionship Environmental enrichment such as window watching, scent exploration, or safe vertical spaces Gentle brushing or grooming if your cat enjoys it For Dogs Food‑based enrichment Basic agility or confidence‑building exercises Sniffspot visits (if pre‑arranged) Simple training and mental stimulation Shorter, safe walks Playtime like fetch, flirt pole, or hide‑and‑seek Your pet’s day will be fun, structured, and stress‑free — always tailored to their individual needs and comfort level.
