Any breed has a friend in me!
Pet care experience
I volunteered at clinics in Gainesville and worked as a veterinary technician upon moving to Jacksonville. I have extensive experience with cats and dogs and exposure to most other small animals. I grew up in a household of 5 cats so am certainly not a stranger to feline friends outside of the clinic. I have also owned 3 guinea pigs so am very comfortable with small animals as well! I treat all the animals I encounter with compassion, but more importantly, respect. I contInually practice positive reinforcement training with my own dog and bring the same ideas into pet sitting. With me, your pets will not only be taken care of, but I’ll be sure they have tons of fun while you’re gone!
Reviews
Super flexible w a last minute booking! Great w communication & overall amazing :)
Amanda was very nice and considerate to my needs for the dog. She went the extra mile for me. Will have her in the future watch captain many more times when needed.
Amanda did a great job with Buddy! She was available for a last-minute booking for a mid-day walk/drop-in visit when I had to work a late shift and was a life-saver. She was great with Buddy and took him on a walk. He seemed to like her and we loved the photo and report she sent! We will definitely rebook!!
Great care, great communication. Flexible.

Safety, trust & environment
I am well versed in the most current and effective positive dog training methods and can carry on any training you had already started. I also love trick training to keep dogs stimulated and build a strong relationship.
Information Amanda M. would like to know about your pet
Leash reactivity and whether or not he requires certain commands in situations. I work on these things with my own dog so am not averse to these situations, but knowing what you typically do will help me carry on your training. I have no breed preference.
A typical day
I really like finding new nature trails around campus and the botanical gardens. I also really enjoy playing mentally stimulating hide and go seek games with my dogs and would love to try it out with others!

Availability
I work full time at a hospital so my week days have less availability. I am available most week nights for a drop-in or walk. On the weekends, my availability is generally wide open. For house sitting, I try to spend as much time with your pets as possible, while also not neglecting my own at home.
