Love dogs! Huge park across street!

Pet care experience

I love dogs as well as all other animals and have had quite the menagerie growing up as well as currently. In my home I currently have a rescue mixed hound dog who is sweet as can be and a rescued cat who mostly keeps to herself but is also a sweetheart. We also have two snakes! (But you wouldn't know they were there unless I told you!) I have also worked for many years at a horse barn and in a small family run pet store in Rhode Island growing up, as well as one of the big chain pet stores after moving to Boston during grad school! I also have volunteered with an MSPCA shelter in college and an organization called Angels on Horseback while in Fhode island. I love animals of all shapes sizes and "creepy-crawliness," and have experience caring for and medicating many different animals (including cats, dogs, fish, birds, reptiles, and horses) due to my previous experience. I also know a lot about different harnesses and care products from working in pet stores! I would love to help out with any animals in your home, but especially dogs! Please let me help with your animal family members!

As a responsible and loving pet owner, Amanda knows how important it is to have a kind and reliable caregiver for fur babies. Her own family includes a dog and a cat that she has rescued. She loves all kinds of animals and has taken care of and ridden horses since she was five. She would be an excellent dog walker and pet sitter.

Information Amanda J. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if your dog gets along. With other dogs as well as cats, the size of your dog, and the sorts of activities they love most! I also like to know what motivates them (scratches runs or treats) in case they have a stubborn moment. I'd also love to know any medical issues or allergies so I can avoid anything that might make them upset! I also like specification on how to approach other dogs/if we should approach other dogs, and any unique signs you know of that your dog is not enjoying an interaction!

A typical day

We have a large park (danehy park) across the street with a track, giant fields, and a fenced in off leash dog park with different pens for different sizes if that's something you'd like for your dog to enjoy. I love to play with dogs and will go for a run with one if you want me to! They would also get to hang with my pooch who is a massive sweetheart rescue who has never met an animal or human she doesn't like!
