Highlights
Pet care experience
respectful lifelong animal lover
I have loved critters of all kinds since childhood. I attended obedience training for my family Rottweiler at age 6, and have cared for many big-breed dogs such as pitbulls, American bulldogs, mastiffs, Great Danes, labs, and more. I have been the trusted pet sitter for friends and family starting as early as middle school, and am also very comfortable around small breeds and senior babies. I have experience with Boston terriers, yorkies, daschunds, beagles, and more. I have and am comfortable with administering necessary meds or topicals for pets with extra health needs. I have also cared for cats, bunnies, fish, and turtles. I am very passionate about rescuing, and happy to discuss any extra care your pet may need due to a life transition like fostering or rescuing. I watched a PETA ad when I was 9 years old and have been vegetarian ever since… I just really love animals! :)

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Amanda did an absolutely fantastic job house sitting with my pets. She sent so many sweet pictures and videos of the dogs and cat. Everyone was happy and loved her being there. Such a relief to be able to go somewhere and know I don’t have to worry about them. I highly recommend her!!!
Amanda has such a knack for understanding how animals feel and how they communicate. She cares so very much about every little friend she meets! She always gets friendly attention from literally every animal I’ve seen her interact with.
Whenever I'm out of town for a week or two, I can always trust Amanda to care for my cat with the same love and attention as I would give him. Your pet is in good hands with Amanda!
Amanda is so loving and patient with my pets. She takes time for rubbing bellies and playing. My dogs and cat just love her. Imagine feeding 4 beagles! They all are very excited to see her when she comes over and I love that she takes time for each animal.
Amanda is such a sweetheart! I’ve known her for almost 15 years and she is the biggest animal lover I know. She is the type of person that will go above and beyond for your pet and treat them with amount of love and care as if they were her own. Your best friend will be in great hands with Amanda!
Amanda is a wonderful pet sitter! I have 3 giant breed dogs and I know they are always in good hands with her; sometimes I think they are disappointed when I come home because they know Amanda isn’t coming over anymore!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in backyard, and I do not have a dog of my own. I have a dining area with an extra couch that can be sectioned off if needed for a crate or food. I do have a senior cat who is indoor, who is very friendly with dogs. He grew up around my mom’s beagles, so he doesn’t mind company/energy! I can section off my basement stairs and kitchen for safety if needed. I cannot board any cat-aggressive dogs for my cat’s safety. I do not use any non pet-safe cleaners or pest control in my home.
Pets
A typical day
I love talking with and singing to pets as we hangout/walk around/play with their favorite toys. I like them to feel that I hear and respond to them so they know they are safe and respected.
