Attentive reliable pet professional

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs since I was five years old. I started in-home pet-sitting for dogs of every type, shapes and sizes in high school for fellow church members and neighbors. The last few years I also began in-home pet-sitting cats. I have also been reliable with feeding, watering, bathing, teeth brushing, fur brushing, hygiene, clean-up, playing and walking. I walk my own dog at least 1 hour a day. We train her continually. I have raised three puppies of my own until their they were senior dogs. I specialize in gentle care especially for rescues. I am willing to learn and care for birds, reptiles, fish and hamsters etc. Message me for special discount rates about for non-dogs and cats. I am a stay-at-home mom. Pet sitting is a part of my daily routine. I typically do I morning and evening check-in for each animal (feeding, walking, toilet needs). Additional quick mid-day check-ins can be arranged for bathrooms. I can take only two to three other dogs beside own at a time in my home. In home, there is a morning and evening walk, feeding and brushing. There is a bathroom break with petting and play at least every 2 hours during the day. Otherwise, the dog is crated in home. Each feeding is done inside the crate. Each visit is started with a bath for every animal present to prevent flea cross contamination. At your home, I would follow your specified requests. Depending on the needs of the animal, typically I go 1 to 2 times a day for cats. I clean out the litter box each day, feed the cats, spend 10 minutes engaging the cat in play. Dog depending on the age/health require a minimum of two visits a day, typically three.In home, I would follow the specific feeding, toilet and exercise instructions. I clean up after each visit. With hamsters, birds, reptiles or fish, I follow the very specific feeding and cleaning instructions. Each day I send a video, picture and summary of each visit.

I had Amanda watch my 2 boys one several occasions. I was very happy to find such a great person to watch my boys. Her and her family welcomed them and treated them like family. You simply can’t ask for more than that when you have to leave your fur babies. I recommend you to book with Amanda.

Amanda is an amazing person! She is friendly, professional, caring, compassionate and loves dogs! She has been taking care of dogs since she was in high school. She has cared for our dogs over the years, including our elderly dog, Stacey, who needed gentle care and our energetic rescue "puppy", Zuzzy, who craves playtime and being petted. Zuzzy is always excited to see Amanda and ready for a walk. I highly recommend Amanda to help you with your dog!

Amanda was an amazing caregiver for my dog, Schutz. I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care - she was reliable in her communications and consistently took him out on walks and for breaks. Schutz clearly developed a strong bong with her during his time with Amanda. I’d highly recommend Amanda as a dog sitter!

I love to walk the Rainbird Trail and along 3rd ave. We walk up and down the hill and around the cul-de-sac. I throw the ball in the fenced area. We tug. We train a little each day.
