Amanda can care for
Availability
I work from home so I get a lot of quality time with my babies. Where I see opportunities to train, I take advantage. Training is a daily on going activity. My animals eat twice a day on snuffle mats with a kibble and veggie/fruit medley. In short, pet care is part of my routine.

About Amanda W.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
When hired to do check-ins I like to spend my first time with the pet observing knowing I’m a stranger and I want to not overwhelm. I will read the vibes and either interact more or keep a distance depending on their body language and how they are reacting to me. I know pets sometimes have a tendency to be more reserved or hesitant to do their normal activities. I try to connect and bond during this time as well with treats (if provided) and positive quiet communication.
Information Amanda W. would like to know about your pet
I will need to know how well your dog is on and off a leash with other animals, food aggressive, or toy aggressive. I would also love to know if there are things I can help with as far as working commands. Does your pet have anything they really love or enjoy that I can do while I spend time with them?
A typical day
If there are toys, I will incorporate and use them majority of the time if your pet is receptive. I know it’s important to use the time I have with them to get out as much energy as possible. If it is nice outside, I try to spend as much time outside by going for a walk or playing in the back yard (if fenced in).

Attentive Quality Time
Pet care experience
Hello there! I absolutely adore animals. I spent 3 years at the SPCA, working directly with the animals and fostering. My friends and I started our own rescue, SFC Virginia Animal Rescue. I know how hard it is to trust your dog is in good hands, and to feel happy, and safe. I love snapping photos and sharing with you all that me and your fur baby do during our visit, (and not afraid to inspect poop to ensure your pet is healthy and report when a concern.) My dogs have been through various trainings and would be happy to share my knowledge while I spend time with your pet. I have over 5 years experience with pets with medical needs varying from administering sub-q fluids to medications to inhalers for the cat-kiddos. My girl has hypo-thyroid and has to take a pill twice a day. With my experience with medically-needy animals I am hyper aware of the smallest changes in behaviors in a short period of time and can offer varying tricks with administering for the ones who aren’t big fans. Side note: I do have travel minute limit, for those east of 95, that is within the time limit if the $5ish toll is taken, otherwise it would take over 30 mins. If you are okay with an additional charge of $6 to cover toll, I will be more than happy to assist!

Reviews
Amanda has been my caring for my cats during my travels for almost three years now, and there is no one I trust more to give them the love and attention they deserve when I’m away. She’s fantastic in every way. Thanks for everything, Amanda! 💜
Amanda was great! Our plans unexpectedly changed and she accommodated us without hesitation. We received a detailed update on our kitty and knew that she was being taken care of. We will definitely use her again!
Amanda is pleasant and is very conscientious. She takes time for pets and purrs with our cat. Kallie is shy but loves her. When we come back from our trips, the house is always in good order. We definitely recommend Amanda. She is amazing!
Amanda is great with our shy tortie, Kallie! She goes above and beyond with extra pets and attention. We always come home to a happy cat and a clean home. I would definitely recommend her!
