About: I am a responsible hard working 31 year old teacher! I am a genuinely caring individual and experienced in all sorts of care taking, as well as professionally trained and certified in the world of animal training. I have several years of experience in dog training and companionship. I have a heart for taking care of the needs of both people and animals, and have built my life on this passion. I am outgoing and loving and respectful and caring. I look forward to getting to know you and your pets! I work six hours a day for a local public school, and have afternoons, evenings, weekends, early mornings, and plenty of holidays available. I am also sometimes available mid-week. A dog’s safety is utmost important! Environmental awareness is everything! Keeping a dog leashed when necessary and off leash when appropriate is a good way to protect the fur babies!
About: I previously used Rover before when I lived in New York. I've boarded many different breeds as well as a Tortoise and the occasional cat! My experience varies as I've had pets all through my life. After my pug passed away I had to take a break from Rover but I'm back and I'm ready to develop new relationships with your pet as well as with you as the owner! I do require meet and greets before hand so it's a smoother transition for your pet! Like I said before I've boarded so many different breeds from a tiny puppy Maltese that I would babysit weekly to a big teddy bear of a pit we would board when his owners went on vacation. My son is very good with all animals and loves cuddles. We look forward to hearing from you and we can't wait to meet you and your precious furbabies 🥹 Quick disclaimer!!! For 50lb + dogs they have to be somewhat leash trained in still a girl with minimal arm strength and I'd like the walk to be enjoyable for both of us! I work from home so frequent walks and love is a MUST! If there was a time I would need to leave, just know it will only be a store run nothing longer than an hour. We are homebodies I'm very receptive to how an owner trains their pets or any routine you may have for your pet. Just let me know your pets needs. I can offer some like grooming services if needed. I can also administer medication as I have experience dealing with senior dogs as well.
“Amelie truly came in clutch when another dog sitter canceled 5 days before my trip. I couldn't have asked for a better person! She was amazing with my HUGE grumpy older dog and my HYPER younger 2 year old...and did I mention they are Rotties?!! She was amazing from start to finish. This is truly the first time I came home from a trip and the dogs seemed well loved and taken care of, no anxiety from them at all. Thanks, Amelie! Rover friends, look no further and book her now...just not when I need her ; )”
“I have a rescue dog that can be unpredictable and she is also somewhat fearful of strangers, but she liked Emily right away and I was able to travel without any worry about my dog being happy and cared for at home! It was a real blessing to find Emily and I will definitely call her the next time I have to travel! I can highly recommend her as a responsible and caring dog sitter!”
About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve developed an understanding of their needs, behaviors, and routines. I also have experience babysitting dogs, providing daily walks, playtime, feeding, and providing a comforting presence. From high energy dogs or independent cats, I approach each pet with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for in your absence ❤️ My schedule is currently flexible, so I’m happy to work with your preferred times. Just let me know what you’re looking for, and I’ll do my best to make it work! I live in a pet friendly apartment very close to the susquehanna, so I make sure pets get plenty of walks around city island, bathroom breaks, and playtime both indoors and outdoors to keep them happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I will follow your routines closely to help them feel safe.
