Professional, High-Quality Care

Pet care experience

Lifetime dog owner Education level: MBA, BS in Agriculture & Natural Resources, 4 years in animal science at a vocational high school (Ledyard), Certified LATg Boarding kennel experience Animal hospital experience Professional animal husbandry experience Positive-reinforcement training experience A lifetime of experience with all breeds of dogs and cats; I accepted my first animal-related job at the age of 14. Experienced with rodents, rabbits, birds and more as well. Professionally trained in all types of medications (topical, oral, SQ, IV and more) for most species. Can also do nail-trims and ear cleanings for friendly animals who need minimal restraint. Knowledgeable in dog/cat CPR. Reliable transportation. Specialized in senior and special needs care. Price is based on distance and the type of care desired, and is negotiable. Discounts for payments via cash. Don't leave your pet with just anyone! I offer reliable, responsible, educated in-home pet sitting. Worried about trusting someone new in your home? I am an introverted, married stepmother in my 30s with no desire to throw parties :) I can also work on training your loved one while you are on vacation for an extra fee! So far, everyone I've petsat for has been booked outside of Rover, so I do not have many reviews on here but can provide plenty of references upon request.

Safety, trust & environment

I will provide the highest level quality of care for your pets, on par with that of a veterinary technician (disclaimer: I am not a certified vet tech). I have experience with animals of all ages and am very knowledgeable in the field. My #1 priority is the safety of your pet.

Information Amanda P. would like to know about your pet

I like to know everything there is to know about your pet! The more details, the better. What are their likes/dislikes? Do they have any specific quirks or pet peeves? Any possible mischief I should watch out for (drinking toilet water, eating things they shouldn't, etc).

A typical day

A standard day of overnight care will include all feeding, medications, walks/exercise that you request as it varies from animal to animal. I typically do not take dogs to dog parks as they are not very safe, however I can walk them on your usual route or bring them to your usual daycare facility.
