Certified Dog Trainer & Pet Sitter
Pet care experience
Thanks for taking the time to read my intro profile! A bit about me: I own a business as a certified dog (& cat) trainer. I graduated with high honors through Animal Behavior College and I am comfortable handling all types of dogs. I am familiar with a DINOS (dogs in need of space) dog and have owned some of those types of rescues myself. After rehabilitating and working with one in particular (whom I rescued off the streets) for a little over a year, I was able to successfully find a suitable home for him. Dogs like him are my motivation to continue helping as much as possible. I have owned all types of pets for my entire life (37 years now), have rescued numerous animals off the streets, and have volunteered as well as worked for and with rescues and animal shelters. I have been an Animal Care Attendant and also worked as a handler and co-trainer with another dog trainer at his board and train facility before starting my own business. I have some vet tech schooling and am comfortable administering medications as well. I am happy to provide care for other types of animals too besides dogs. I have cared for bunnies, guinea pigs, fish, cats, frogs, etc. Let me know how I can help!
Reviews
Amanda has been great with my puppy. She's patient and very accommodative.
Amanda is super! Very responsible and professional. :) We highly recommend her.
Amanda stayed with our dog over the holidays. We were more than happy with her services. We received regular pictures and updates about our dog. When we returned our dog didn't even seem to miss us and the house was left so clean I couldn't even tell she had been staying here. I highly recommend Amanda!
I have 2 senior Husky dogs with one on meds for his condition and a 1 yr old Aussie puppy, making their energy levels and needs at opposing sides. Amanda did a wonderful job giving each the attention they need and are used to as well as helping with the puppy's on going obedience training. She dealt with any challenges professionally and willingly. Having Amanda stay in my home gave me peace of mind that all would be well with my dogs while I was away.

Information Amanda M. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences. Every dog is different regardless of breed. I'd like to know their basic personality and any special needs of the dog (ie- is he/she other dog friendly, needs medication, etc).
A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog Generally, I spend all day with your dog aside from the occasional errand which would put me away from the home maybe 2-3 hours. Extra house-sitting services Sure, within reason. I'd be happy to do a full house clean for an additional rate (have background there too).
