Professional petter; dog enthusiast

Pet care experience

I grew up with two labrador retrievers who made for some hilarious and crazy memories. Pets are such a special part of the household and, because of this, my friends know me as one of the biggest dog lovers. I have helped dog-sit several family and friends' dogs in recent years when they have obligations or go on vacation. In our house, we've had visitors ranging everywhere from frenchies to dachshunds to lab mixes. They know they are allowed on the furniture and are in for lots of rubs and play time when they come to our home. As of 2022, I regularly walk dogs and have a few regular clients who consider me their preferred walker in the area. My schedule is hybrid (half in office/half at home) and I am always looking to get in extra steps and walk dogs around the town. My flexibility allows for some last minute requests and daycare during the work week. I have experiencing walking small and large dogs and always make sure they are properly harnessed before heading out. Out of precaution, I tend to avoid other dogs while taking walks around the neighborhood, or before heading into a dog park. I always check in with the owner before, during, and after a visit to make sure their needs are met and let them know that their pet is safe and comfortably back at home. If I am boarding a dog, I will not have any other pets boarded unless requested.

Amanda did a fantastic job with Duke. She was attentive, punctual, and communicative. We met beforehand, making sure it was a good fit for both of us. She and Duke hit it off right away during her initial meet up and each time she stopped by. My carbon monoxide detector started beeping during one of her visits and she called me immediately to let me know what was going on and get my input on what to do. I would absolutely rebook her again.

Our plans changed last minute and Amanda was there to support our last minute request. She asked all the right questions prior and we felt very comfortable dropping off. As I checked in she provided me updates, photos and videos making us feel like he was in the right place. Would definitely book again! Book her while you can!

Amanda has consistently done a wonderful job watching my two cats. In addition to feeding them and ensuring they have clean water, she also takes time out to give them some love. They are normally a bit skittish around most people, but they love her. She is a wonderful pet sitter and I trust her completely with my babies when I go out of town. It's nice to have peace of mind in a pet sitter.

Amanda is an extremely responsible and loving pet caregiver. I would trust her to care for my dog with absolute certainty. Amanda will care for your pet as if they were her own - you cannot go wrong with her!

Information Amanda W. would like to know about your pet

I always want to know what the owner's priorities are when dog walking or stopping by to check on their pets. What is the dog's personality like (friendly or stand-offish)? Does the pet need to be fed? Are treats allowed? Would they rather go for a walk or have some indoor playtime? Do they bite or have triggers? Do they wear a harness? What is the dog temperament when entering the home and greeting a dog walker? Are there any allergies? With all these questions, I always reach out to the owner ahead of time to try and gauge the situation beforehand and provide a flawless experience.

A typical day

When walking a dog, I listen to their intuition on where they want to walk and what they want to see. In my experience, the dog almost always leads me back to their house without a problem. On a typical day of dog sitting, my guest-pup and I will take some walks around the neighborhood which offer plenty to see and sniff! If the weather is nice, we can head to the local park or stop by the stream if trails allow for it.
