About: As a college student who genuinely loves animals, I bring both enthusiasm and responsibility to every pet I care for. I have experience watching and caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, and I’m very comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and basic grooming. What sets me apart is my patience and attention to each dog’s individual needs—I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level. I’m especially attentive to safety and making sure dogs feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I can handle energetic dogs who need lots of exercise as well as older dogs who require a gentler approach and extra care. I’m also dependable, communicative, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is in good hands. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m available most weekdays around my classes and have open availability on weekends. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets consistent care, attention, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I will follow all care instructions closely, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and ensure a calm, clean, and secure environment. I’m attentive to details like locked doors, safe walking practices, and keeping harmful items out of reach. I also take time to build trust with each pet so they feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. I will keep you updated regularly so you feel confident your pet is safe and happy.

About: I’ve been dog sitting and pet sitting for over 5½ years and have built experience caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I also have references available upon request. Outside of pet care, I’m a manager at Club Pilates, which has helped me become very reliable, punctual, and responsible with my time. I pride myself on communication, dependability, and treating every pet like family. I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a kid, animals have always held a special place in my heart. I have two pups of my own, and I would treat your pets with the same love, care, and attention as if they were my own family. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust to care for your pets while you’re away. Leaving your animals with someone else can be stressful, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they’re safe, cared for, loved, and getting the attention they deserve.

About: I have been an active volunteer with the Elmore SPCA in Peru Ny for 4 years. I often walk, socialize, enrich, and foster the dogs in the shelters care. I have worked with puppy's as young as 3 months up to the elder dogs to provide comfort. I am currently home for summer between my graduate years of college, my work schedule varies week to week. I have lived in this area for my entire life and am comfortable with traveling for the care. Unfortunately during this time I am unable to have pets in my home. To ensure the safety for me and your pets I have completed all state required ASPCA programs to work professionally with animals. The topics for dogs and cats included; body language, diseases, safety and management, and cleaning regulations. I have regularly walked and fostered dogs from Elmore SPCA in upstate NY. Through them I have gained lots of experience handling different breeds, temperaments, sizes and ages of dogs.

About: What sets me apart is my real-world experience and deep love for dogs. Back in my hometown in New York, I lead off-leash pack hikes in the woods with up to 8 dogs at a time—and I’ve *never* lost one. I understand dog behavior, group dynamics, and how to keep dogs safe while giving them an enriching, active experience. I’m also experienced with both energetic puppies and slower-paced seniors, adjusting my care to meet their unique needs. I bring calm, confidence, and joy to every dog I care for. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and walks or drop-ins on weekdays after 12pm. I can also drop in in the early morning before 7:30am. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because spending time with dogs is genuinely one of my favorite things to do—I look forward to it every day! Your pup will get plenty of playtime, attention, and a safe, homey environment. I’m happy to follow your routines—whether that means crating, special feeding instructions, or extra snuggles. In your home, I keep things tidy, stick to your dog's schedule, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away.

“Amanda was great with Ana, my high-energy rescue, and managed to tire her out during a long school day for me! Very caring and kind! Was accommodating during our meet and greet and extremely attentive to Ana. Loved all the updates and ease of communication. Ana is definitely excited for her next walk with Amanda”
