Veterinary Technician PET Sitter
Pet care experience
Hey, So a little about me: I’m a veterinary technician that is currently accepting new clients for Boone & Mchenry Co. (areas include Garden Prairie, Poplar Grove, Belvidere, Capron, Harvard, Marengo and Woodstock, other areas would be considered). I am comfortable with security systems and house sit for many upscale houses in the area (Dr.s & Lawyers and artists included). I have been around horses my whole life as well as other farm & exotic animals. References provided upon request. Clean Background check, non smoker, clean person. Ok with training and medication & special need animals. I’m ok with working with special needs such as diabetes (familiar with insulin and how to properly administer it in cats and dogs), urinary and kidney care that require extra love and time. Please message me with any questions... Prices will depend on number of animals and time spent doing chores/house Work etc... I personally own a Doberman named Flame who is the sweetest thing, I’m able to drop her off at my parents when house sitting over night.
Reviews
We have been working with Amanda for over 10 years. She is a wonderful person and cares so much for all our Farm Animals. If its just 2 days or the whole week. We would not want anyone else to be here at our home, she has never disappointed me. Keeps the house clean too.!! Our dogs are always happy to see her.
I have known Amanda for 20 and she is one of the best pet sitters that I have ever had look after my boys! Over that time frame I have had four cats (two who currently live with me and two that have passed over the rainbow bridge) and she has been there to look after them all. She has always had a great way with animals and has the experience not only for petsitting but also the experience as a Vet Tech. While I was in the military and one of my cats was living with my grandparents she look in on him and see if anything was needed. Once I returned to the area and I was traveling quite a bit for both work and pleasure she would make sure my kitties were well taken care of. She would send me photos of my boys to show me they were doing well. Additionally, when I had to go in for surgeries for my organ transplant she was there to make sure that I wouldn't have to worry. I knew that as long as she was looking after them they would be in good hands and I could focus on getting better. Amanda's experience with pet sitting animals both large and small and also her years of experience as an amazing Vet Technician make her the perfect companion and guardian for your fur baby family. If you want a wonderful person who will love and take care of your fur babies as if they were her own I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Amanda!
Amanda is one of the most knowledgeable and trusted people you’d want working for you when it comes to your pets! She has a large background in the vet and farm industry! She’ll take the best care of your fur baby. You can trust your pet will be in good hands with her! She will take care of your pet as if it were own. Hands down you won’t be disappointed.
Amanda is a fantastic pet sitter. She's taken care of our pug and cat several times and couldn't be more pleased. She sends up several updates every day about pets and goes above and beyond with our furry boys. Her background as a vet tech has also been very helpful and useful. Please feel free to use me as a reference.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my main priority when watching your pet in your home. I look forward to giving your pet the best experience possible when you are away, which may include walking on a leash, letting them out in a fenced in yard or dropping off for play time at day care.
Home
Information Amanda V. would like to know about your pet
Be honest if you have any issues or concerns with your pet! I love a cuddle bug, but I can also appreciate that cat that’s a total CAT and has an attitude like no touching, I said no touching. I love that cats will let you know exactly what they want
A typical day
Honestly this varies greatly depending on the need and care of the pet. I have a few people that have pets in a day care or training program which if my schedule allows I have no issues dropping off or being the class sub. Some dogs love to play frisbee in the yard, others love being outside sunbathing in the yard then I just read a book outside with them.
