“Amber is very attentive and reliable! Such a lovely person. I felt at ease being away from my 3 kitties as I knew they were in good hands. My shy, feral kitty Poppy warmed up to Amber right away - I have never seen Poppy do that before. Amazing!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses. In 2023, I completed the Animal Behavior College Basic Dog Obedience Program along with additional certificate courses in Training Shelter Dogs, Doggie Daycare, and Teaching Private Lessons. I’m also Pet CPR certified. Beyond my education, I’ve worked professionally with dogs in a daycare environment where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand canine body language, recognize signs of stress or overstimulation, and always prioritize safety and positive experiences. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or a senior, I take the time to get to know their individual needs. I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I’d want for my own pet. Caring for animals is already a big part of my life. I currently work professionally with dogs and genuinely enjoy spending my time with them. I’m available for dog walking on Fridays and weekends, and I make it a priority to give each dog my full attention during our time together. I understand that consistency is important, so I strive to be dependable, communicate with owners, and provide updates after each walk so you know your pup is happy and well cared for. Safety is always my top priority, whether I’m caring for my own pets or yours. I treat every dog as if they were a member of my own family, taking the time to get to know their personality, comfort level, and individual needs. Before every walk, I’ll make sure collars, harnesses, and leashes are properly fitted and secure. I stay aware of our surroundings, avoid potentially unsafe situations whenever possible, and always keep dogs safely leashed. I also pay close attention to each dog’s body language and behavior so I can recognize signs of stress, fear, fatigue, or overstimulation and adjust our walk accordingly. I’ll always follow your care instructions, including preferred walking routes, treats, medications (if applicable), and any training cues you’d like reinforced. After each visit, I’ll provide an update with photos so you can feel confident knowing your dog was safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is to provide every dog with a fun, enriching, and safe experience while giving you peace of mind that they’re being cared for with patience, kindness, and professionalism.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life! I’ve had cats for as long as I can remember, as well as several dogs, so I’m no stranger to the responsibility of keeping animals. I currently work for a theatre company, but I'm usually available most weekdays. In the evening, I'm available before 5pm and after 9pm, but that changes from time to time. Everyone's pet care is different and I know a lot of animals benefit from having a familiar routine. So if you have a certain way of doing things, I'll do my best to keep that consistent for your pet!

“Excellent communication! Would definitely book again!”

About: Hi! I’m Cassidy, and caring for animals is something I truly love. With 5+ years of pet-sitting experience and professional experience at Bear Brook Kennels, I’ve had the opportunity to care for a wide variety of animals and gain hands-on experience with pets of many different breeds, personalities, temperaments, and needs. At Bear Brook Kennels, I cared for dogs, cats, and exotic animals, learning how important it is to understand each pet’s individual routine and personality. I’ve also had experience caring for police K9s while they were boarded, which gave me the opportunity to work around highly trained working dogs and taught me the importance of following specific care instructions, routines, and handling requirements. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets who needed everything from daily walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship to extra patience, attention, medication administration and individualized care. I’m comfortable working with energetic pups, senior pets, shy or nervous animals, and pets who need a little extra time to feel comfortable with someone new. My goal is simple: to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family members with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and affection I’d want for my own. I also have a friendly personal pup who can tag along for visits or stays if you’d like your pet to have a furry friend! If your pet prefers one-on-one attention, I’m just as happy to leave my pup at home. Your pets aren’t just pets — they’re family. And I’d be honored to care for them! 🐶🐱 I’m currently working at a kennel, where I’m gaining even more hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals. My schedule is already fairly flexible, and starting in mid-October, my availability will open up significantly. I’ll have plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, drop-ins, and boarding, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s individual routine and needs! 🐾❤️ I provide a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. With 5+ years of pet-sitting experience and professional experience at Bear Brook Kennels, I’m comfortable caring for dogs with a wide range of breeds, personalities, temperaments, and needs. I always take the time to learn each pet’s individual routine and follow their care instructions closely. I’ve also been researching dog behavior and training techniques and plan to shadow local trainers in the area so I can continue learning and better understand the dogs in my care. My priority is always making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, supervised, and loved while they’re with me.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life from dogs, cats, birds, horses. Aside from my own I have also spent countless time taking care of others animals while they are gone or just need a little extra help! I currently work a part time job in healthcare so my schedule can be super flexible with notice but if you need care last minute I am more than happy to make it work the best I can for you and your pet(s). I am willing to work with you and your animals needs whatever that may be. Whether they need to be taken on long walks, like to play fetch or just sit inside and be pet!
