Perfect, Experienced puppy care!

Pet care experience

I love spending time with dogs, and the dogs love me! I truly find fulfillment in caring for animals of all kinds, and feel so happy seeing their wagging tails and smiling faces. I also think it is a great way to make income as a student, as I am able to work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m a graduate student studying to earn my PhD in clinical psychology (yes, I also enjoy the company of humans!). Caring for others — whether humans in a clinical psychology setting or dogs — is truly what I do best. I will listen to my clients and their needs, ask questions when needed, and do my best to show the type of love and support that works best for you and your dog! I have a 2-year-old super friendly and sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel that lives with me and he loves to have four-legged company! I describe myself as creative, flexible, friendly, fun, and responsible. Plus, since I’m in school, I’m never gone for more than a few hours to go to class, so I have tons of time to spoil your dog with love! I enjoy eating and exploring, which could also explain why I get along so well with dogs! I also enjoy hot yoga, movies, and reading. I’ve been caring for dogs for the past 8 years, including my own dogs and those of friends. I have been with Rover since 2016 and am comfortable working with all types of dogs, big and small.

Amanda was so sweet and attentive! She sent very regular photo updates of my bulldog pup while I was out of town for a few days & he returned happy & healthy. Definitely recommend Amanda & would gladly use her again!

Amanda took awesome care of our dog, Ginny. Communication was easy, and she sent us photos frequently during our trip. We knew our dog was in good hands! Would definitely have Amanda dogsit for us again in the future.

Amanda's great personality and love for dogs made me very comfortable to leave Bruce (my dog) with her. Bruce loves Amanda and gets very excited to see her. She is friendly, reliable, and trustworthy. I highly recommend her and so does Bruce ?

Amanda and Aaron loved our dog Phoebo so well. I was happy to hear that he loved them and was just as excited when they returned to their apartment as he does for us. They have Riverside park super close which is a great bonus for any dog. He was returned to us happy so therefore we are happy.

Information Amanda P. would like to know about your pet

I want to know any medication or special care needs. I love dogs of all ages, though I’m not set up to accept puppies at the moment. Because I have a dog of my own, please be sure your dog plays well with others!

A typical day

Your pup will be spoiled with cuddling and attention! Even when reading a book or on the computer, I will be sure to monitor your dog at all times — hopefully from right next to them! I am rarely out of the house for more than 3-4 hours at a time … the joys of graduate life! My neighborhood is Bushwick in Brooklyn, NYC! It's urban, but definitely has walkable streets and I live steps away from a dog park in Maria Hernandez Park! Your dog can enjoy play with other pups or solo walks. There are so many cool areas to roam and check out, and I especially like finding little quiet spots for rest too. I love taking dogs on long walks around the neighborhood, play with squeaky toys and balls, and give plenty of belly rubs!
