Experienced Animal Whisperer

Pet care experience

As a child and young adult, I raised and cared for dogs. I currently have two Russian Blue kittens that are my support animals and I adore them. I am often asked to care for animals because “you treat our pets like they’re your own”. Animals have always flocked to me and I’ve never been able to explain why but I do enjoy caring for them as I’d they were my own.

I've booked Amanda probably 5 or 6 times now to cat sit for me. She's great, very reliable and has almost always been available when I need her. Her visits are consistent and she makes a great effort to play with, pet and get to know my cats. Which is saying a lot considering how antisocial one of them is. Every time I return they are happy, healthy and well cared for!

Safety, trust & environment

My cats currently free roam in their home environment however I would be able to accommodate most requests. I live in a townhouse that does have stairs, 31 stairs to be exact and I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a smaller patch of grass in the front of my yard. I live in a small, safe subdivision that’s more than suitable for dog walking. I am also close to forest preserve trails for trail walking as well. My kittens are socialized and up to date on their vaccines but prefer to play with each other and not other animals. To keep my babies safe and healthy, I do not board any animals nor do I offer any day care services in my home. The only exception I might consider would be a very small puppy, and a meet & greet in my home is necessary.

Information Amanda P. would like to know about your pet

Firstly, any medical issues or medications that need to be administered. Secondly, how your animal does with other humans and other animals. No one likes surprises. Thirdly, in the event of an emergency, although I hope that never to be the case, vet information and how your animal responds to stress and other mannerisms. For instance, I know mom wants baby to go on more walks and slim down a bit but how does baby feel about that? Is baby going to fake an leg injury? Animals are incredibly smart creatures. I don’t put anything past them. No need for a vet visit for a limp when maybe baby is just being “sassy”?

A typical day

I live near a forest preserve so I typically trail walk with a four legged companion in those areas. I have also taken dogs hiking for the day as well as swimming. I also enjoy the dog parks to run off energy and get great exercise if your baby is animal friendly.
