Pets speak - to those that listen.

Pet care experience

Our pets bring us unconditional love and in return it’s our responsibility to provide a calm, safe environment with lots of enrichment. I would be honored to care for your dog or cat. I have worked for 2.5 years for a Pet Sitting/Walking Service in Upstate NY and had great experiences with dogs, cats, goats, turtles and horses. Worked specifically for a vision impaired client with a guide dog that loved to be walked just to enjoy all for herself. Assisted and traveled with said client as well. A very valuable experience that I am grateful for. Had the honor of raising a yellow lab for Guiding Eyes for the Blind and she became an official guide dog in November of 2012. Koda (my <3 dog) has passed away - was a bit of a challenge and I took on the responsibility of being a good dog owner seriously. I was lucky enough to work with an animal behaviorist to understand the canine language. It was one of the most valuable things I've done. I spent 4 years in the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Colorado and now am in another beautiful place in Arizona with lots of adventures available.

Mandy is a very warm and genuine person. She loves dogs! She took very good care of her dog throughout his life and was particularly sympathetic as he began to slip as he aged. She loves all animals particularly dogs. I would highly recommend her as a dog sitter.

As Mandys veterinarian for the last 10 yrs I have found her to be a very compassionate and loving dog owner who also has a unique ability to understand the dogs perspective on the human/dog relationship. I would highly recommend her for any position working with and caring for dogs. Sincerely, Dr. Clifford P. Stiffler-DVM and owner Adirondack Veterinary Clinic ,Ballston Spa NY.

I have had the pleasure and honor of knowing Mandy for over 10 years, most of which we've shared our love of dogs, nature and the outdoors! She has such a genuine intuition with dogs and can easily read their mood, needs, and always remain one step ahead! I so enjoyed watching her raise a Guiding Eyes puppy-in-training for about a year. The time, emotion and energy she invested in that little guy to give him every opportunity to learn new things, be exposed to a variety of environments and teach him how to respond/behave in a different situations was remarkable... all while also loving and caring for her own mature male. She helped her own dog forge a beautiful relationship with that pup and managed to meet both of their needs (which were often quite different). Every time she entered my home, either with or without her own dog, she greeted my girl immediately, making her feel as though she was every bit as important as I was. I would trust Mandy with my dog under any circumstances. She is very bright and intuitive, with an exceptional ability to relate and engage our beloved pets!

Mandy and I would meet in the morning to walk our dogs together for the past eight years. Mandy is a reliable and responsible person. We both have dogs that at times can be hard to manage and Mandy has done a great job with Koda. A few years ago Mandy trained a dog that would become a seeing eye dog. Mandy was a wonderful trainer for this dog as she was very dedicated to teach the dog what she needed to know to pass her test.

Any injuries or medical issues. Behavioral insight is very important. Are they sensitive to certain touch, toys, food and external stimuli that may affect their behavior. What are any triggers?

A typical day

I'm happy to hike, go for an easy walk, or just be nearby if they need only that type of reassurance. A discussion on approved activity will be an important part of an initial visit.
