Pets

A True Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I received my bachelors in Animal Science (Pre-vet) from the University of New Hampshire and am seeking business while on a gap year before Vet School. Available day or night. Calendar reflects availability. I have an abundance of both dog and cat shelter experience, as well as a variety of clinical experience as required for vet school. I am currently an employee at Southbury Veterinary Hospital. I have experience caring for exotic pets (Rabbits, Rodents, Reptiles, Fish etc.) I have had pets my whole life and am a total animal lover. I have one dog of my own, and 2 dogs and 2 cats in my family home. Happy to host animals in my home, males and other animals are present in the home.

Amanda once again did a great job with our dog when we were away, and we recommend her to anyone needing services. Thank you!

We have used Amanda twice now and she has been awesome. She goes above and beyond. I worry cause my bulldogs can be a handful and she handles them so well and even is able to take them to her home with other dogs. I would recommend her and we will definitely ask for her if we go away again. The peace of mind that they are well cared for means so much to us. Thanks Amanda!😊

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
