About Amanda

Experience: 10 yrs

My name is Amanda and I am self employed as a pet sitter after many years in the non-profit field, most recently in communications roles. Previously I worked in child care for several years, primarily in shelter settings for under-served youth, and then as a nanny for a home-schooled girl, as well as various occasional babysitting here and there. I am a safe driver and have passed a thorough background screen through my volunteer work. I am learning American Sign Language since 2022 and am at a conversational level. I love reading and arts & crafts. I am extremely savvy with vegan and gluten-free diets. I'm also great with pets and I'm available for pet sitting, too, of course! I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19 with my most recent booster in October 2024.

Amanda watched both my dogs all day while I was visiting from out of town. She was absolutely amazing with them and they had the best day. She sent pictures throughout the day, played fetch with them multiple times. I would highly recommend Amanda!
