Safety, trust & environment

In my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for every pet. For dog walking, I ensure each walk is tailored to the dog's energy level and preferences, incorporating playtime and exercise to keep them happy and healthy. When in-house sitting, I maintain the pet's usual routine, providing companionship, feeding, and any necessary care to make them feel at ease while their owners are away. During drop-in visits for feeding and potty breaks, I make sure to follow the pet's schedule, providing fresh food, clean water, and a quick, refreshing outdoor break. Additionally, I check on their well-being and give them some affection to keep them content. As a proud cat mom to my two cats, I understand the unique needs of our feline friends. I ensure they have a clean litter box, fresh food and water, and plenty of play and cuddle time. Whether caring for cats or dogs, my goal is to provide a loving and attentive experience, so every pet feels right at home.

Information Mandy M. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care for your pets, it's helpful to know a few important details ahead of time. Please share any information about your pet's medical conditions, allergies, dietary restrictions, or special needs. Understanding their daily routine, favorite activities, and any behavioral quirks will also help me ensure they feel comfortable and happy. If your pet has specific triggers or fears, such as loud noises or other animals, please let me know so I can create a stress-free environment for them. Additionally, providing emergency contact information and your veterinarian's details will help me be prepared for any unexpected situations. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and having this information will help me tailor my care to meet their unique needs.

A typical day

When I watch pets, I love engaging them in fun and stimulating activities tailored to their interests and energy levels. For dogs, this includes exciting walks to explore new scents and sights, playtime with their favorite toys, and interactive games like fetch or tug-of-war. I also enjoy teaching them new tricks and reinforcing positive behaviors. For cats, I provide plenty of opportunities for play with laser pointers, feather wands, and interactive toys to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. I also create cozy spaces for them to relax and offer lots of cuddles and gentle brushing for those who enjoy it. Every activity is designed to ensure the pets I watch are happy, healthy, and entertained during their time with me.

Pet care experience

I have extensive experience in pet care, having worked as a kennel technician at a veterinary hospital and volunteered at a no-kill cat shelter. I’ve also worked at a doggy-daycare, where I cared for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. My current services on Rover include dog walking and drop-ins for feeding and potty breaks, and I’m experienced in administering medication and providing care for senior pets. As a full-time student at LSU studying animal science, I’m dedicated to animal well-being and passionate about giving pets the best care possible.
