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 is great with our pups! They always loo like they are happy to see her. We really appreciate the great photos!!
Chloe and Coco had another great weekend with Amanda looking after them. Thank you, as always, for amazing pictures and taking such good care of the girls / my home. We all look forward to next time!
Amanda helped us out somewhat last minute with our senior guy. She took awesome pictures and we came home to a sleepy and happy pup. She also confirmed our suspicions that his hearing issues are of the selective variety. Thank you!
Simply, the BEST
Amanda is priceless. Always on time, and the animals (all four) love her - and listen to her!
Amanda was professional and thorough with our kitties. She even brought her own cat toy which they fell in love with and we promptly had to buy! She took incredibly beautiful pictures of our girls and it was one of our favorite parts of our day, getting to see her check ins!
