Pet care experience
As a child, I grew up around dogs that belonged to various family members/friends. At a young age, I was learn about different dogs, their needs/personalities, and how to care for them. Additionally, my siblings and I were often asked to pet sit or walk their dogs on a regular basis. At the age of 14, I got my first dog and as my parents worked and siblings went to college, I was left with the responsibility to care for my dog. These responsibilities included feeding, walking, bathing, and playing with my dog (both before and after I ended school.) With having my own dog, I have always had to find ways to fit pet care into my daily/weekly routine. Currently, I have a pretty open schedule: Sunday- Tuesday: I have full availability Wednesday-Saturday: I have availability after 3 or 4pm (on Saturdays only.) I have a gated back yard to ensure that your pet does not wander too far away or get lost. Also, I have a friendly dog of my own that can provide some good company. When dealing with pets at a clients home, I will be sure to adhere to your dogs specific needs and your expectations.
Reviews
Had a business trip one weekend and a previous sitter cancelled on me last minute. Was in a bind, but word of mouth led me to ask Amanda for her services. I’m skeptical of new people, as is my pitbull, as in she will growl and NOT go up to a person willingly. Warned Amanda of this. She had not known my Maggie for even 5 minutes when this dog walked right up to her, rolled on her back to let Amanda pet her belly. That was a first. Had asked her to watch Maggie a few times after that before my boyfriend and I moved to Buffalo. Maggie always liked Amanda and so did I after that initial interaction. She is kind and trustworthy.
Amanda is a lifelong friend of mine; I have only known her to be studious, kind, respectful, loyal, and dedicated to her work, family, and friends. She cares for her own dog, Sebastian, like family. when my family was going away on vacation for 9 days & we were between kennels, I expressed this to her and she offered (unprompted) to step up to take care of my pets as a gesture of friendship. At the time My family home was big enough to support 4 dogs, 4 cats (indoor and pretty skittish), 1 rabbit, 3 sugar gliders, and 2 chinchillas. We wrote directions for Amanda and she had no problem taking care of them/ providing food, water for everyone. Dogs absolutely loved her. She sent us pics of her playing with them in the back lawn and they loved it. She’s reliable and trustworthy for sure.
