Amanda’s Bio
Born and raised in New York City, my parents knew I was an animal lover when I got hit by a taxi cab because I saw a dog across the street that I wanted to pet. I grew up with dogs and cats and my parents fostered dogs when I was growing up. When I became old enough to join the workforce, I began dog walking, dogsitting and even did a stint at a doggie daycare in NY. It was a leashless facility where I basically got paid to play with animals all day.
When I got married and moved to North Carolina I began volunteering with my local animal shelter, helping out in the office, walking dogs, keeping their area clean and assisting with administering medications, taking fecal samples, and loving on the dogs, cats, and occasional rabbit, duck or goat that came into the facility. In addition, I began fostering in my home, often caring for and rehabilitating dogs who had been abused, not properly trained or socialized, malnourished, injured, were sick or pregnant. My goal was to take the dogs that were seen as "unadoptable" and help to give them a chance to prove how adoptable they could actually be, if someone would just take some time with them. My focus was on hounds, specifically beagles, but I would take just about anyone that the shelter thought would benefit from the special love and care that I enjoy providing.
I currently have 6 dogs, 2 cats, 2 chickens, and a rooster of my own. All of my animals are my loves and are as spoiled as can be. I would love the opportunity to love, care for, and spoil your pet too. I'm available for walks and visits, including overnight. I am not a groomer, but will gladly bathe a dog in your home. I am not a certified trainer, but can teach much basic obedience (using positive reinforcement) - including sit, stay, proper leash etiquette, and more.
