Pet care experience
Apprenticing to be a dog trainer
I've helped take care of dogs for friends and family since I graduated from college in 2016. I'm a thoroughbred jockey currently off riding due to injury, and apprenticing to become a dog trainer. I have multiple friends that train dogs professionally, my personal dog sees multiple trainers regularly, and I learn new things every day. From obedience to behavior to nutrition, I value all of the practical use, knowledge, and love I can apply to any dog I get the opportunity to work with!

Safety, trust & environment
At home, I have two lovely house cats and one rambunctious puppy. My cats like their space and will ask for love when they want it. My puppy needs structure in his day to balance activity, learning, enrichment, and rest. I am more than comfortable providing the kind of care any client wants for their furry family members. Whether that's daily enrichment, getting out in the world, or learning an off switch at home. I'm familiar with excited jumping on guests and earning trust from nervous or shy animals. I have Ruffland crash tested kennels in my car and can provide enrichment and new adventures if requested! If you don't have a fenced area around your home, and you are comfortable with it, I do have 20ft long lines I can use so the dogs get a chance to be outside to play and do their business while also ensuring their safety. I've always been an animal lover, and now that I have free time in my life, I want to provide knowledge and time for other animals and their humans that need a helping hand.
Ratings and reviews
Amanda is unparalleled in her attention to detail and natural ability to care for and train animals. She doesn’t make assumptions and instead asks me what is best when caring for or working with my pets. She has years of experience, and actively seeks out knowledge. She is a good communicator and sends plenty of photos when caring for my animals. She is thoughtful and kind to them without letting them break boundaries I’ve set. If you hire Amanda to care for or train your pets, you will not be dissatisfied. Guaranteed.
Amanda is a very responsible pet caregiver with a big heart and compassion for our furry family members. She understands the importance of routines, is diligent about healthy practices and enthusiastic about play time. She gives her "all" when caring and loving your pets in your absence. I highly recommend and trust Amanda with my babies.
I've known Amanda for over six years now and worked with her in the equine care industry. During our time working together she was incredibly thoughtful and caring towards not just the horses but all the resident farm dogs and cats and is clearly an animal person. She is very attentive and genuinely cares for her animals deeply. I cannot recommend Amanda enough and trust her completely with my fur babies!
Amanda is the best! She has watched my fur babies for me multiple times. I have a German Shepard mix named Rascal and a long haired cat named Princess. Amanda loved and cared for them as her own. Rascal is aggressive towards other animals and protective of his home. Amanda does an amazing job managing his behavioral problems on the walks and at home. She is very detailed, responsible, and attentive. I don’t trust just anyone with my dog, as he can be a lot to handle (he is 95 lbs), but Amanda is very keen in knowing how to respond in different situations. Amanda never fails to make sure my dog was properly exercised and had his bathroom breaks. My cat Princess seems to like her more than me! My furbabies always feel loved and at home under Amanda’s care. If you want someone who will follow your care instructions for your furbabies and also get all the lovins while you’re away, Amanda’s your gal!
There’s no one I’d trust over Amanda for watching over my pets. She has watched over my cat and neighbors dogs through out the years, ensuring they’re both taken care of and lovingly praised for their handsomeness. Your fur babies will be in good hands while also getting an ego boost from the many compliments they so deserve. True animal lover at heart, with a long background of watching over both her own and others pets while also training horses and doggos.
Amanda is a kind and caring pet sitter! She pays attention to detail and will make sure your pets are taken care of and comfortable every time. She is timely and always willing to go the extra mile. She is very knowledgeable and will treat your fur babies like she treats her own. Lots of love and pets

Schedule
I'm a thoroughbred jockey currently off riding due to injury. I have a lot of free time now, and I've started to fill it by gaining as much knowledge and practice in professional pet and sport training for dogs and cats. Rover is a way I may be able to help out my community by applying everything I'm learning for pets and people that need someone that cares about their animals the way I've cared about animals my whole life.
