IMPORTANT INFORMATION *After-Hours Visits: Walks and drop-ins scheduled between 8 PM and 8 AM will incur an additional charge of $5 per visit. *Booking Drop-Ins VS Walks: A walk is specifically exercise-based, and I will focus on getting your pup moving for as long as they would like, also taking into consideration their safety, their breed, and the weather. *Home Cleaning Service: I offer home cleaning services as an add-on as well! This service is not Rover certified or protected, just an extra service I have available. The true cost for a cleaning will depend on the individual needs but runs about $25/hour. Feel free to ask more! Hi there! I’m Amanda, and I’ve turned my love for pet sitting into a fulfilling career. I hold a B.S. in Psychology with a minor in Criminology from UCF, and while I still enjoy those subjects, my true happiness lies in caring for animals. Throughout my life, I’ve had a variety of pets, including dogs, a cat, turtles, fish, and hamsters. Known as the neighborhood animal whisperer, I’ve also cared for ducks, guinea pigs, bunnies, and lizards. My high school years were spent volunteering for pet rescues, which deepened my passion for animal care. After moving to northwest Orlando, I gained valuable experience working in a doggy daycare. This reignited my love for dogs and inspired me to embark on my own pet-sitting journey. Through my work at the daycare, I learned extensively about different breeds, health issues, behaviors, first aid, and more. Since early 2023, I’ve been living my dream as a full-time pet sitter with Rover. I can administer medications and am knowledgeable in canine first aid, ensuring your furry friends are well cared for. I'm happy to be gentle and patient with our more wis Recently, I've been winding down as a local pet sitter and planning big life changes. However, I'm still taking on some bookings during the holiday season, especially for cats. I miss visiting kitties 🐈⬛

Safety, trust & environment
I don’t always require a meet-and-greet, but I’m more than happy to arrange one! It helps me familiarize myself with your home, and I know it’s comforting to meet the person caring for your furry friend. I appreciate receiving a message or note outlining the basics of the visit, including expectations, emergency vet information, and feeding or medication instructions. The more information you provide, the better I can care for your pet. Rest assured, I’ll ask any necessary questions to ensure I have everything I need. I’m completely fine with security cameras—inside or outside the home—alarm systems, and regular check-ins. During walks, I let your pup take the lead; they know their routines best, and I’m there to keep them safe and clean up after them. I carry citronella spray (a natural dog deterrent), pepper spray, poop bags, a flashlight, and treats in my walking bag. Most importantly, I’ll always keep you informed if anything concerning arises with your pet or home while they’re in my care. Transparency and regular updates are key for me, and I’m always here to address any concerns—nothing is too small when it comes to your pet’s well-being. I take pride in leaving homes in better condition than I find them.
