Purr-fect playmate for your pets!
Pet care experience
I have two dogs, a 4-year-old Cattle Dog mix and a 9-year-old Rottweiler/Husky mix, as well as three cats! I have worked at two dog daycares, and have walked dogs professionally for 4+ years. I am experienced with caring for, feeding, and giving oral medication to dogs, cats, rodents, snakes, and fish, as well as sugar gliders. I love all sorts of animals, especially exotics! <3 I also love puppies and older dogs - I have experience working with both! All sizes, ages, and species welcome. I am experienced with basic dog grooming and can include it in drop-ins or sittings. This can include: bathing, brushing, nail trims, ear cleaning, and/or sanitary trims.

Thanks for braving the cold today!
Amanda is a thoughtful and dependable walker who shows love for my dog and cares for him as I would. I would enthusiastically recommend her to fellow dog owners
I so appreciate your patience with him!!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a friendly 45-lb Cattle Dog mix who loves to play, your pup will have another canine companion while you’re away to keep them company! We’ll play all sorts of games - tug, fetch, maybe some fun little training sessions! - and have a couple walks a day, depending on their energy level! I bring along toys and (pet parent approved) treats, and make sure your pet is having too much fun to miss you! I can stay overnight or not, but for the most part I will be with your pet during the day. If I have walks to do in the daytime, I will not leave your pet more than 3 hours. Usually less!
Information Amanda M. would like to know about your pet
I would like your pet’s regular schedule for feeding, potty breaks, etc. Please let me know if your dog needs medication or has any special needs, whether that be due to personality or if they eat a special diet! I would also prefer to know ahead of time how our dogs will get along. Dogs can sometimes be picky with their playmates! Please let me know if your dog has any aggressive tendencies - I wouldn’t want your pup snapping at a stranger or fighting my pups for food if I can avoid it. I can work with difficult dogs, but I need to know ahead of time. And the fun things… What’s your pet’s favorite toy, game, or treats? Do they like to cuddle? Super playful? :-)
A typical day
I love to bring toys with to play, if the owner is okay with us visiting a dog park! I also love to jog and hike with dogs, if there is a trail nearby. :-) For sittings, toys and treats and special walks! Especially the first day(s) to help them settle in. <3
Services
Amanda can watch in your home
Availability
I am self-employed and work from home, which means most of my week is open for pet care! I am available the whole week, excluding Tuesday afternoons and times when I have walks booked! I will work to fit your pet into my schedule. :-) While house-sitting, your pet(s) will be my number one priority! I may have a scattered walk or two through the day, but I will never spend more than a couple hours out of the house. You’re paying for attentiveness!
