About: I have been a dog lover for many years! I used to have a farm dog growing up & I now have a dog of my own, Bear, who is a border collie/ golden retriever mix! I always make sure fresh water is readily available, I have extra food/ water bowls as well. I like to take 2-4 mile walks throughout the day. I bring a portable water dish and treats. I do regularly brush my dog, I would be happy to do the same with your puppers! I will interact with your puppers by a tug of war game, fetch, and a mental stimulation puzzle toy! I have administered oral medications before as well! I am home most of the day, occasionally I will leave for a couple hours to run errands or hang out with friends. My weekends are usually always open. I do not have a fenced in back yard, so my dog, Bear, is always on a leash, he has a harness on walks. My experience with my own dog is he is hyper and active, I try my best to keep up with his energy level!

Amy K.
“Amy Koppelman is the one to hire for your dogs and cats. Truly the best! We've had Amy meet both our dogs and our cats; she brings out the best in them, tends to their nail clipping and walking as needed, lets our cats in and out and even returned to let one of our cats back in...takes care in feeding, watering, cleaning the litters and asking about all the specifics needed. She takes the time to update us (complete with pictures) and we couldn't be more pleased or delighted to have Amy in our pocket. Our pets love her. We can go out of town feeling peaceful - the best part! Wonderful value and the utmost of professionals. A gem.”
