About: I've been assisting in foster care/hospice care for pets since I was a child helping my mother care for multiple pets. I have experience giving medicine if required and can provide bathing and amateur grooming if desired including fur and nail trimming, face cleaning and ear cleaning. I will be doing online schooling so I will be home all day everyday so your pet will never be alone! If you're pet has a schedule I can accommodate that for you! I have a fenced yard, with multiple pets of my own that are fully trained and friendly. I can provide medicine if needed and will offer lots of love to your furry baby!

“Amy is an angle. She was so down to earth and I felt at ease leaning my boy with her. She kept me updated throughout the entire day with pictures and videos. She took my baby on an adventure with lots of trips and care rides which he loves. I told her what he likes and didn’t and she made sure to do all the things he loves. In every picture and video she sent I saw how happy my baby boy was. Definitely booking with her again! Thank you so much he had so much fun and you showed him so much love. 😊😊”

“I have so many good things to say I'm not exactly sure where to start!!!!! I was very anxious about finding a dog sitter because I didn't want my dog locked away in a cage or kennel. From the moment I came into contact with this couple I felt very comfortable & reassured. The meet & greet was great. She allowed my family to come and walk through to show us what the animals day would be like and what would be in place if the dog didn't adjust well. The place is so beautiful we wanted to stay. We received pictures & messages while away where we could tell our dog was being treated well. They have a love for these animals and I have already recommended them to every dog owner I know. My dogs items were clean upon pick up, the experience superceded my expectations. I hope this family will always be our go to. I don't have any complaints at all. Thank you for taking great care of my doggy and giving me peace of mind.”

14. Sabrina B.
“Sabrina watched my dog (female chihuahua, now 9 years old) from 2019-2023 while I was going to college and she was the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! Her kind and bubbly personality for both pets and owners put my mind at ease! My dog always had so much fun and left with a wagging tail and a smiley face!! Sabrina always makes sure to give the dogs plenty of time to run around outside and ensures all of their dietary restrictions are strictly upheld so no upset tummies to any pup! She also has a wide selection of toys for dogs and cats that left my pup amazed! She even ensured my dogs favorite toy stayed with her and stayed clean! I loved having Sabrina watch my pup and wish I didn’t live so far away so she could continue watching her!”
