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 Dover Veterinary Hospital. I am also an employee at Mew Haven Cat Cafe when I am home in CT on school breaks. I also 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 only one dog here with me in NH, and 3 in my family home in CT. She is very friendly with both cats and other dogs. I also have 2 cats in my family home in CT. Happy to host animals in my home, fenced in yard, males are present in the home.

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!😊

Amanda is friendly and prompt! You can tell she really loves animals. She treated my dogs like her own, would absolutely have her sit again.
