Description:

I know what it's like to have to leave your dog for the day or overnight. I want to provide all the love and attention your dog deserves while away from you. My goal is to provide a safe and loving home for your dog, and make your time apart as stress-free as possible.

Your dog is more than welcome in my home, and will be treated like part of the family. I have a small yard in a very quiet and safe neighborhood. I live across the street from Spring Park for great on-leash walks, and a dog park for off-leash play! Your dog will receive plenty of exercise and tons of playtime!

I provide both day care and overnight services, as well as long-term boarding.
$10 half day
$15 full day
$20 overnight
Discount packages available

If your dog is more comfortable in your home, I also provide in-home services.

About Amy S.:

I am a dog lover, through and through! I am 36 years old and I am currently earning my degree in non-profit organizational management. I will love your dog as my own while they are in my home, and they will receive lots of attention and playtime. My studies are 100% online, therefore my schedule is flexible and I can cater my time to fit your dog's needs.

If you have any questions about anything, please feel free to ask.

What would you like to know about a dog before sitting him or her? Do you have any breed preferences?

All sizes and breeds welcome!

I want your dog's visit to be fun and stress-free, so I like to know their regular daily routine so I can provide a familiar setting. Bringing along some comforts of home like their food, bowl, toys, ect. help with your dog's comfort level.

I also like to know your dog's activity level and/or any physical restrictions so I can create an appropriate exercise/walking schedule that is catered to their specific needs.

Every dog is different, so tell me about your dog's unique personality and demeanor! Tell me anything you want me to know about your best friend so I can take care of them as best I can, and provide for them a positive, fun experience.

Do you have reliable transportation in the event of an emergency?

yes

Are you comfortable administering medication?

yes

How much time do you plan on spending with my dog each day?

I make my own schedule, so I am open, flexible, and available. I will devote all my time to your dog while they are in my care at my home. I generally take my own dog to the park 2-3 times a day for 30 minutes to an hour each time. My dog is moderately active so this schedule works well for us, however I can easily adjust to your dog's activity level.

If I am visiting your dog at your home, we can discuss how much time your dog needs with me. I am willing to make several visits a day or spend extended amounts of time with your dog.

If you have a backyard, please describe it.

Small, very secure, very private fenced-in yard

Where will my dog sleep?

Inside, and where they are most comfortable. My dog sleeps with me, and your dog is more than welcome to sleep on the bed with us. They can also use the couches or dog beds. I also have crates if that is something they prefer and are used to.

Where will you take my dog on walks? Tell me about it.

I live on the Spring Creek Trail in Fort Collins so I can take your dog walking on the trail, or at Spring Park--a large park, great for dogs! I also live a few blocks from the dog park on Lake Street if your dog wants off-leash time! My location is very safe and quiet for walks outside. An ideal location for walking dogs of all activity levels.

Amy was so accommodating with the stay and does an amazing job of keeping you informed. I would recommend her to everyone I know.
Maverick had fun as always! He loves relaxing on the outside patio.
Amy took great care of our elderly dog Toby, he seems very comfortable there. We are happy to have found a good place to leave him when he cant come along!
Amy was great as always!
Amy made it so convenient and comfortable for my dog. Will be using her service again in the future.
Looks like he had lots of fun & good company, they seemed to enjoy the weekend!
Cody spent the weekend with Amy and I think he had a very good first time experience. He is a little shy, however he seemed to fit right in. It was nice that Amy was there most of the time and he felt comfortable following her around. I will use Amy again in the very near future. Great Experience. Jane

Another great one.
Our dog, Stella, still has puppy energy and can be a handful, but she went right to playing as soon as we dropped her off and came home pooped! Amy sent us updates during the stay which was great!! She is definately now our go to pet sitter! :)

All of the pictures Amy uploaded for me made me feel so comfortable and able to see she was having a great time. As a dog owner (or a kid owner for that matter!) you know it went well when they come home too tired to do much. Thanks Amy...we'll see you next time!
I'm at school for 12 hours each Tuesday and it's tough to find a sitter for that long... Amy's flexible schedule has gotten me out of a lot of jams, and my dog is always happy when I pick him up. She's been a great help and I'll continue to use her on a regular basis.
Had to leave for a long weekend, was glad to get photo updates of the dogs playing at the park and having fun around the house!
Amy took my high-energy pup for the day & they had lots of fun!
We boarded Gemma with AMY again and Nube for the first time there. Once again, I loved hearing from Amy about how our critters were doing while in her care, with an e-mail update. Sounds like a very good time was had by all! We felt our pets were in good care with AMY.
Burt always loves staying with Amy! He loves it so much he cries of excitement on the way there! He always comes home tired and in good health! Amy is a wonderful dog sitter!

My dog seemed incredibly happy when I arrived, and Amy has been great at communicating and keeping an open schedule. She even posted a handful of pics from his visit... Highly recommended!

Amy was great. Hammie was well taken care of. We will definitely use Amy's services the next time we need someone to watch over Hammie

Scooter loved hanging out with Amy & friends so much that when it was time to go home he kept pulling and looking longingly back towards her house. He came home and slept like a rock. If I need to leave him again, I would definitely check to see if Amy is available first - knowing he's with her having a blast makes me feel way less guilty! She's great!

We are back and settling in from a week away ~ and Gemma still misses Choe and Amy! While we were away for a whole week, Amy e-mailed us and kept me informed on Gemma's settling in process. My favorite's from Amy's letter, "She wants to sleep next to me under the covers, so that's where she sleeps." and "I have simply fallen in love with Gemma! " gave me great assurance that all was well in Amy's care!! Amy, We should all meet at the dog park one of these days, when the weather warms ~ just for fun! Gemma would love to see you and Chloe again! And we would enjoy that too. (Collapse)

Burt has been staying with Amy on Sunday's while I go skiing! He gets super excited to go there! Chloe (Amy's dog) and Burt get along so well! He always comes home super tired which is awesome! I will definitely keep using Amy.
January 2
My dog didn't end up actually staying with Amy because I got very sick the night before my trip. This being said, Amy was super nice and very flexible to my dogs needs! She replied very quickly to my inquiry! I will be definitely using her the next time I need a dog sitter!

Amy is a wonderful pet sitter. She stayed with my black lab while we were out of town on vacation for a week. My dog is very needy and has special dietary needs and Amy was able to work with both. We felt really good about how well she interacted with our dog and it really put us at ease so we could enjoy ourselves knowing that our dog was safe and happy at home rather than at a kennel. She was good about emailing us updates and that really helped while we were gone. I will definitely use Amy again when we go out of town and I am more than happy to recommend her to others in need of a really good pet sitter. (Collapse)

Burt, my dog, stayed at Amy's house for the day while we went skiing. Amy let us drop him off as early as we want was very flexible about when we could pick him up. Burt was exhausted and very happy when I brought him back home. It was great to have a tired puppy! Definitely going to use Amy again!

I have known Amy for several years and can say that her knowledge of pet care is vast and that she is always the first choice for watching my dog when I'm away. My dog is always happy after a stay with Amy :)

I recently moved to Colorado with my Dog Toby. I was very nervous to leave Toby with anyone as he is my only child. He has only had one other dog sitter before. Amy made sure we met before any appointment was set which I loved. She was dogsitting a new dog and wanted to make sure that dog would be comfortable and used to his surroundings before we came to visit which I was very impressed with. Not every Dog loves other Dogs. When we met Amy she was so friendly and welcoming and her Dog and Toby just loved each other. I knew it was a great fit right away. Toby stayed there from Friday to Tuesday and Amy sent me pictures and texts on how he was doing. I loved it! When I came to get him he was pooped and clearly had a great time and was sad to leave his new friends. I have already scheduled the next visit and am so happy I found a place so great so soon! I highly recommend her. (Collapse)

Amy is a great sitter... My dog Maxine was there for 3 days and had a fun time.. No problems what so ever... Nuff Said!
Chris B. February 18
Amy was kind enough to accomodate us on short notice. She sent us photos and updates. We know Hammie is well taken care of. Hammie loved it there. He went home tired. Next time we would need a sitter, we would definitely ask Amy first.

Found Amy on this site and arranged a visit, and have trusted her to watch my dog at least once a week for the past few months. She's very easy to get in touch with, has flexible scheduling, and most importantly my pup is always happy when I pick him up! Plenty of photo and text updates about their walks, hikes, and play time make me feel better when I'm out of town... I feel more comfortable leaving him with Amy for long weekends than I do leaving him at the local kennels because of the personal attention I know he'll get! (Collapse)
Amy is a wonderful pet sitter! This was Stella's first time away from home overnight since she was a little pup. When we picked her up she was worn out and happy! We are already planning her next stay! :)

I met Amy because we frequent the same dog park. She is often there with a group of dogs and she is always so great with them. She is engaging them the entire time and they have so much fun with her. I was always really impressed on how well she managed all the dogs, a real responsible dog owner. She has since become my sitter and my dog and I couldn't be happier with her! My dog clearly has a great time while he's with Amy and I feel at ease knowing he is in such great care! She's our gal!! (Collapse)
