Highlights
Pet care experience
Attentive Quality Time
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!

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.
Ratings and reviews
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!
Amanda was fantastic—super attentive and clearly cared about our pup’s safety and happiness. She made sure to play with him and kept a close eye so he didn’t eat anything he shouldn’t in the yard. We’d absolutely book again!
Amanda was wonderful. She took great care of our two kitties. Our senior cat needed a meds visit added on and Amanda was very accommodating. She sent us two updates a day. When we came home, our cats were happy and our home looked great. She even washed the extra cat dishes she had used. We would definitely recommend Amanda and we will call on her when the need arises. Thanks, Amanda!
Amanda is always the best! She truly cares for our cats and is such a kind person.
Amanda took great care of our Wallie.
Perfect service, punctual and always gave great updates for our dog! 10/10!

Schedule
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.
