Ready to love your beloved pets 💙
Pet care experience
Hi pet parents! ♥️ Thank you for considering me to watch your sweet animals. I’m Amanda Joy, an international pet sitter, public health professional, yoga teacher and reiki practitioner 🌞 I absolutely adore animals and am here to love your beloved pets while you are away🐕 🐱 ✨ I’m 32 and am experienced pet sitting around the world. I’m currently on a sabbatical from my career and have just returned from teaching yoga and practicing reiki in New Zealand and Fiji. Prior to that, I spent the majority of 2021 pet sitting around the world while working remotely in public health🌴🌺✨ During my time pet sitting around the world, I spent two months living in coastal town in Panama watching three sweet and hilarious dogs - I absolutely fell in love with these dogs and miss them everyday. I’m still in touch with the family (I visited them recently). Prior to Panama, I was spoiling two adorable, high energy labs in Puerto Rico for three weeks. Before that, I lived in NYC where I completed my masters & then Washington DC where I spent seven years working at the AMA. Throughout my lifetime I’ve always been surrounded by very special animals. I grew up with a golden retriever who beat cancer and lived until she was 15. My lifelong friend has a border collie/Aussie mix that I’m a second mom to - she travels extensively for work so I’ve spent months at a time living at her house watching him and I love him like my own. My “niece,” Zoey, is a very active (and happy!) golden retriever, who I shower with love when I watch her. Recently, I spent three weeks watching a friend’s adorable golden doodle, Winnie, in Hawaii. We spent every morning and evening on long beach walks and lots of ball throws! And of course, cuddles all evening. I also regularly watch another playful golden doodle puppy Juniper—I love being Aunty Mandy to these dogs! I’m constantly surrounding myself with wonderful animals and watching my friend’s pets when they travel - I am so grateful for all of the animals in my life. I cannot wait to meet yours! ✨I also offer energy healing for animals to help them with their emotions & past traumas if that’s something you are interested in.
Reviews
Amanda took amazing care of my Molly girl! She was so kind, friendly, and trustworthy, as well as respectful of my home and things. She provided regular updates for me on how Molly was doing, took her on walks, snuggled with her, and gave molly lots of play time! After a few bad experiences with other walkers, it was a relief to find Amanda to take such good care of our girl while we were out of town!
Amanda is wonderful and attentive! She kept me in the loop and left my apartment spotless upon my return. Would highly recommend.
Amanda stayed at our apartment and watched our dog, Ellie for an entire week! She took good care of the apartment and we knew Ellie was in great hands. We got lots of pictures and updates, and we really appreciated Amanda taking her on lots of outings and adventures. Highly recommend working with Amanda!
Amanda is the sweetest & kindest dog walker we’ve ever had! We hired Amanda to dog sit while we were out of town and we have never felt more comfortable leaving our precious boy & house in her care. Not only is she great with our pup, spending a lot of time with him and taking him on long walks, but she’s so friendly with other dog owners in the neighborhood! This has really helped to grow our community of dog pals in the area which we love. We highly recommend her for any dog needs!
