The friendly neighborhood dogwalker

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm Amanda, your friendly neighborhood dog-walker! I have grown up in a dog household with golden retrievers and one terrier/husky mix (we think), so I am very comfortable around dogs and familiar with doggy mannerisms and care. My education is in psychology and while it's not formally animal psychology, I can apply behavioral psychology in conditioning and training, like I have done for my parent's dog, Orla, an energetic 3 year old golden retriever. She's really good at dropping her frisbee/ball, sitting, staying, paw, and somewhat good at laying down. I adore puppies (of all ages, of course) and will happily befriend any pupper that gives me the honor to do so. Your pet will get lots of pets, playtime, and attention. I look forward to working with you! -Amanda

Amanda is very loving and caring with animals. I have seen her work hard to train her own dog and she is a very responsible and reliable person. I definitely trust her with my baby!

Amanda has taken care of my cat, Ziggy, on multiple occasions. She is gentle and hardworking. Ziggy really took to her and we felt very safe leaving him (and our home) in her hands. I have also seen Amanda train an unruly dog of another family, all the while demonstrating patience, consistency and care. Amanda clearly loves animals and is a great person to care for one of your animals.

Amanda is extremely responsive, responsible and we were very fortunate to find her. We feel quite comfortable with Amanda having access to our home and will continue to use her as a caregiver/sitter for our golden retriever.

Amanda is a caring, responsible, and attentive dog watcher/ walker! She has watched and walked our dog, Daisy, multiple times and we always feel at ease with her taking good care of our fur baby!
