Safety, trust & environment

I have one senior dog who does well with children and other dogs. I do not have a crate in my home. I keep all food stored in cupboards and out of reach, and have plenty of cozy nap spots on the couch or on dog beds. I am available for walks in the neighborhood, house visits, and can transport dogs to sniff spots.

Information Amanda V. would like to know about your pet

I have a 13 year old dog 45lbs dog of my own who does well with other dogs. He has lived comfortably with cats in the past as well.

A typical day

I like to match the activity to the interests of the pet. I enjoy sniffing games (hiding treats in wrapped towels or in a toy), sniffari's (long walks with plenty of nature to sniff), tug-o-war, peaceful walks in the neighborhood, visits to the dog park, or fetch.

Medical student who loves dogs!

Pet care experience

I’m a current medical student with a lifelong love for dogs and plenty of experience caring for pets with a wide range of needs and personalities. I grew up with rescue dogs, which taught me patience, compassion, and how to work with reactive dogs who need a little extra TLC. I also currently have a senior dog of my own who absolutely loves having dog friends around. Over the years, I’ve been a trusted sitter for friends and family, and I’m excited to offer that same dependable care to new clients and their pets. The services I provide include dog walking in all weather, drop-in visits for both dogs and cats, and occasional boarding in my apartment, which features a small enclosed yard perfect for quick outdoor time. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or a cozy place to stay, I strive to make every animal feel relaxed, engaged, and well-cared for. Because I’m in medical school, my availability varies month-to-month. Some months I’m available throughout most of the day, while others I may have more limited windows—but I always communicate my schedule clearly and ensure I can dedicate quality, attentive time to every pet I welcome. I’m committed to providing reliable, compassionate care and can’t wait to meet your furry family member!

Amanda was wonderful! She was friendly, prompt and communicated that our cat was happy and well while we were away on vacation. I would highly recommend!

Amazing dog sitter. Would recommend her and so happy she was available to sit for my pup. Great attention to detail, on time, above and beyond love to the furbabies, extremely responsible!

Amanda took care of our two cats during our vacation and we couldn't have asked for a better cat-sitter. She followed all our instructions, communication was easy and our cats loved her. We will absolutely reach out to Amanda next time we need a cat-sitter.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
