About: When it comes to pet sitting, my extensive experience and deep love for dogs truly set me apart. I've been around dogs since I was a baby and have been taking care of them for over 15 years. This lifelong familiarity with dogs has given me a strong understanding of their needs and behaviors. In addition to my experience, I have special skills in both training puppies and providing care for senior dogs. I am well-versed in the unique requirements of each life stage, ensuring that your pet receives the appropriate attention and care. Currently, I have a 1.5-year-old sweet Bernedoodle who is well-socialized and loves both cats and dogs. This personal experience further enhances my ability to provide a loving and comfortable environment for your pets. Whether it's playtime, training, or senior care, I am dedicated to offering the best possible care for your furry family members. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day starts with dedicated time for feeding, walking, and playing with my dog, ensuring they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need. Throughout the day, I incorporate short training sessions and regular bathroom breaks to maintain a structured schedule. In addition to daily care, my weekly routine includes more extensive activities such as grooming, longer outdoor adventures, and socialization opportunities with other pets. I make sure to set aside time for veterinary visits and any necessary health check-ups. Having a consistent routine not only keeps my own dog happy and healthy but also ensures that I am always prepared to provide top-notch care for other pets as well. My experience with my Bernedoodle has taught me the importance of maintaining a balanced and enriching routine, which I apply to all the pets I care for. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment where they feel comfortable and loved. My home is pet-friendly, with plenty of space for them to play and relax. I ensure that each pet has their own designated area with their bed, toys, and food/water bowls. Regular walks, playtime, and training sessions are part of the daily routine, along with lots of affection and attention. I also keep a close eye on their health and well-being, making sure they are happy and stress-free. When providing care in a client’s home, I strive to maintain the pet’s usual routine to minimize any disruption. I follow the feeding schedule, walk times, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I spend quality time with the pets, ensuring they get enough exercise, play, and companionship. I am also attentive to the home's security and cleanliness, treating it with the utmost respect. Whether it's administering medication, handling special dietary needs, or providing extra cuddles, I make sure every pet receives personalized and loving care.

“Amy did an awesome job with Finn! He loved playing in her amazing yard with Iggy, the little guy was exhausted from running all day. Amy kept us updated with lots of adorable pictures of Finn having the zoomies and playing tug of war. Thanks so much for helping us out at the last minute, Finn would love to hang out again sometime!”


“Ella was great and easy to get a hold of! Buckminster seems to have had a nice time.”

She will certainly be my first contact if I need a dogsitter in Pittsburgh again :)”
