About: I have a deep love and respect for every pet I care for. I adopted a sick puppy, and through patience and nurturing, he has blossomed into a beloved member of my family. This experience has taught me the profound bond that can develop between a pet and their caregiver, highlighting the importance of kindness and understanding in every interaction. I’ve also gained experience by showing care and compassion to animals in need around me, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Each animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for them all. My commitment to treating every pet with compassion ensures they feel loved and secure while in my care. I work remotely as a freelancer, which gives me the flexibility to integrate pet care into my daily routine seamlessly. This allows me plenty of time to spend with furry friends, playing, cuddling, and ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. My schedule enables me to provide a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring that every pet feels comfortable and cared for throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their safety and comfort above all else. I follow their food schedule diligently to ensure they maintain a healthy routine. Engaging with pets through playtime and interactive activities is essential, as it keeps them stimulated and happy. Since I do not have pets of my own, I can provide a safe and distraction-free environment for them. Living in an apartment allows me to easily take them for walks outside in green areas, where they can explore and enjoy some fresh air. If needed, I can safely crate pets to provide them with a secure space to relax. My home is a welcoming environment filled with love and attention, ensuring every pet feels safe and at ease. Building trust is key, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and needs, creating a positive experience for both them and their owners.

About: I always take priority in trying to get tailored to any dog’s personality, 24/7 contact with the owner to make them more comfortable, and I make sure they have an accessible source of water. Even though I’m currently in college right now I am looking after my 2 cats and 2 dogs with not much to do all day. I usually take my two dogs on a walk in the early mornings after they have their breakfast and one in the afternoon I also do checks if they need to use the restroom by taking them out for about 10 minutes. With my cats I feed them in the morning, play with their favorite toys, and most of the time just hangout together either petting them and sometimes talking.

Mission Grove dog parents share their Rover experiences
Punctual. On time every day. Receptive to feedback. Amanda walked the dogs and got them tired, which is great for high-energy dogs. She was respectful of my home, as I allowed her to have free access. I recommend her for high-end clients who are looking for someone trustworthy.
