Dogs are people too!

Pet care experience

I have been caring for several clients in the Montgomery County area, and have experience with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. My patience knows no end when it comes to understanding and working with our four-legged friends. My first client ever was a rowdy pit bull/german shepherd/rottweiler mix, and after many a walk and some training, he is now a very, very good boy. A few of my current clients are senior dogs, and I have experience administering medication orally as well as assisting with their upkeep (i.e. cleaning face folds, treating ear infections, wiping eyes, brushing teeth, etc.). My energy knows no end either; one of my favorite activities in the whole world is walking with my animal companions in some fresh air. Being able to bond with AND exercise a pup is a wonderful experience! I also completed an Animal Training & Pet Sitting Certification Course through International Open Academy in 2015.

Amanda is absolutely fantastic! My 3 dogs love her. I've got one medium size pup who's very shy with new people and she has made a definite connection with Amanda. My two big pups, who are much more outgoing, are just as happy with her. Amanda has been able to help out long term and on short notice. She lets me know what goes on when she's here with a quick text. Me and the pups are very fortunate to have Amanda helping us out!

I've known Amanda for several years. She is the one person I'd be 100% comfortable referring my friends and family to for dog walking and house sitting! She is responsible, reliable, and most importantly she's a compassionate animal lover! She's stayed at my house during two vacations so far. I'm usually pretty stressed out when I leave my home and pets in someone else's care...but I feel truly at ease when Amanda is taking care of my pets (dogs, ferrets, and chinchillas!), because I know she'll treat them as her own :)

Information Amanda P. would like to know about your pet

If there are any issues with temperament to watch out for (i.e. territorial behaviors, fears, aggression, etc.), any known "dislikes", what soothes a the pup when they are upset, and any special routines or "likes" that would make the pup more comfortable and receptive.

A typical day

For those who love nature, I am fond of walking pups on the Magruder Branch Trails. Though I understand some pups are more comfortable on their home turf, and I am not opposed to walking the neighborhood or a game of fetch.
