Information Amanda L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs. What vet do you belong to? Any medication? Any behavioural problems such as aggression or anxiety? Favourite thing to eat and do?

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dog physically and mentally. Check out the new smells, play some games and sleep with them pushing up against my back so I wake up sore in the morning.

Pet care experience

Hello. My name is Amanda 🫶 I am 38 years old 😬 I consider myself a pet magnet. People call me the animal whisperer. Never mind, the time I got ducks talking to me 🤭 I’ve even had an emu follow me around and take selfies with me 😅 I’ve been working as a groomer and pet care taker for 18 years now. 18 years in grooming and 30 years caring for pets 🐾 I have met some wonderful people and pets along the way. My main option on here is pet sitting but I also do walking. I have worked at a veterinary clinic for two years, and have many certifications including Animal Sciences 👩‍🎓 I work at my own home based grooming salon and doggy day care 💈✂️🧼 I often care for pets belonging to family and friends. I have a fenced in backyard that your pet will enjoy. I spend a lot of time outside, so your dog will get plenty of outdoor time ☀️🐕‍🦺 I have a pet friendly bed and vehicle too! 🚘 I look forward to welcoming and caring for your pet, whether it’s a dog, cat or small critter 🐰🐹🦔

I 100% recommend Amanda to watch your babies. It was my first time leaving my three boys with anyone and had so much anxiety. She went above to make sure my mind was at ease, keeping in contact and sending pictures and videos of them. My Chihuahua who is not fond of new people, took to Amanda immediately, I couldn't believe it. She took very good care all of them and their different personalities/needs. Amanda is truly an animal whisperer. Thank you again for staying in my home, keeping it as tidy as I left it and loving my boys 💙💙💙
