Highlights
Pet care experience
former zookeeper & vet assistant
I am an animal behavior professional and have worked for years in animal husbandry. I previously worked as a veterinary assistant and am comfortable administering oral medications. I've also volunteered in rescue and rehabilitation since 2014 and have formal training in assessing stress in cats and dogs (my cat used to work as an outreach therapy animal, helping stressed university students and folks in long-term care facilities). I’m well practiced in wildlife and domestic photography, and always try to get some nice shots while I’m on a sit. I have a soft spot for crusty old dogs and currently have a 15 year old deaf and toothless rescue yorkie named Brego. I also recently adopted a yorkie puppy named Sam. I keep a lot of houseplants and aquariums, and am happy to care for those while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
I try to keep to your pet's routine as closely as possible. I use a force-free approach to all pet care. While I don’t offer training sessions, I am happy to work on basic behaviours with your pet during the sit.
Ratings and reviews
Amanda does an amazing job walking our golden, Olive! Amanda always keeps me updated with how Olive is doing and provides photos! We will definitely book again.
Amanda was fantastic! Took the best pics of our cats I have ever seen and they were clearly well looked after.
Amanda took great care of our cats, one which has some complicated medicine needs. The pictures of the cats while we were away were amazing. Thank you!
Amanda has come to watch my boys many times now and I always know they’re in great hands :) they are comfortable with her, she brings toys to play with them, and I always get some great pictures and updates while I’m away. Thanks again 🩵
