"We have found Amanda to be extremely reliable and our pets love her. We have 1 cat and 4 dogs (2 of which are pit bulls) and we have never had any problems with her checking on them while we’ve been away.We did have her meet all of our girls before our first trip to make sure they clicked. Then after a few visits even gave her a spare key to our place. We’ve never had an emergency while they were away and we have always found Amanda to be very observant about any behavioral/food issues while we’be been gone.Overall, Amanda seems like a person who genuinely loves animals which is what matters most to me. Our dogs adore her and honestly I prefer to have them at home with her stopping by then leaving them at the boarders in a strange/noisy environment while we’re gone."
"Amanda cared for my dog and cat this past winter break for ten days while I was home visiting family in Connecticut.
During the time, she stayed at my house overnight (since my dog is a bit on the neurotic side). She did an excellent job. Everything was found the way I left it. Both of my pets were happy and healthy. When Amanda came over to pick up a check from me the day after I got home, my dog was so happy to see her (and she's usually not that excited about people). Overall, Amanda did an excellent job. I plan on using her again if I need pet care. She seems very responsible, and her rates are extremely reasonable for Bloomington." "We have hired Amanda several times over the last 1 1/2 years to petsit for our cats, chinchilla, and snake. She has been fantastic with our pets and very reliable. She was comfortable giving medicine when need be. For a while we had a complicated arrangement where several of our animals needed fed separately and kept strictly away from each others food - their health would have given it away if she hadn't strictly adhered to instructions. We have never had a problem with Amanda and I recommend her highly. She was observant when one of our cat's behavior changed recently and alerted us to keep an eye on her. We've never had an emergency come up, but the observations that she has given indicate that she is aware of each animal and could handle an emergency if need be." |
