Availability

My schedule is open right now and I’ll specify on my Rover availability or via message if I have an issue with upcoming scheduling or a request. If booked, the only reason I would ever need to adjust arrangements or cancel is if something major happens/is going to happen with any of my children. One of my son’s has special needs so I always like to specify that if he needs urgent care, I will obviously accommodate to my son first and foremost. That does not completely rule out your pet getting care, it could just mean that I would need to arrange “shifts” for my son with his dad or another family member to make sure he’s not alone for a long period of time in the hospital and I’d be able to step out for a bit.

Safety, trust & environment

I think having an established routine leads to a very happy, well functioning pet. Whether it’s my pet or yours, the routine is the pet’s only concept of time. They like to know what to expect and when to expect it. Regular feeding times, consistent potty breaks, engaging with the mid afternoon “zoomie” spurts, and nap times are all very important for both canines and felines, as it all helps them establish what they want and need at different hours of their day.

Information Amanda T. would like to know about your pet

Any quirks regarding social anxiety, social aggression, or a physical impairment such as loss of hearing, vision, loss of a limb, etc. Any medications to be administered are fine with me as long as I am instructed by the owner how to do so.

A typical day

I love being able to enrich pets with a good play session in the yard, tug of war in the living room, chasing the feathers on the stick (for any cat parents reading, haha) or simply going for a ride to the gas station together. Pets can’t express their gratitude, but they’re thankful for everything you do with them. We, as humans, have brothers and sisters, moms and dads, cousins, friends, etc.— our pets only have us. Each interaction or activity done with a pet is an extra ounce of love in their day.

Veterinary Assisting Certified!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Amanda, or you can call me Mandi! Thanks for checking out my page! I just recently completed my Veterinary Assistant Certification through Midlands Tech where I learned the key skills of Veterinary Assisting. I have always had a passion for animals which can even be reflected in my formal work experience. I worked for Tractor Supply for shy of two years where I was first introduced not only to brief pet care, but also livestock care as well. This fueled an undying passion for me and was the starting point of when I realized I wanted to make a future with the biological and technological aspect of animals. From there, I worked for QC Supply for a while where we specialized in more agricultural equipment, products, and biosecurity chemicals. Our specific store catered mostly to the commercial poultry farms in the area and taught me the true work and knowledge that goes into getting the stock from farm to table. Along the way, I’ve also had the pleasure of taking care of the pets of family and friends, aiding strays, and making steadfast connections with the animals who come into my care. From here, my plan is to complete my prerequisite classes and then apply to the Veterinary Technician program at Piedmont Technical College. Please reach out to me to inquire for booking or for any questions you may have regarding care for your animal! Thanks so much!
