Dog-parents, unite!

Pet care experience

There’s nothing like having a dog in your life! They’re always there for us and do everything they can to make us happy. Dogs always have a giving spirit about them, which has always inspired me to do everything I can do help dogs thrive. That’s why being a dog sitter is a dream come true for me! I love spending time with pups, and it’s great to help owners out as well. As a dog owner myself, I know how difficult it can be to be away from your best friend. I’m here to make that time as easy as possible! One of the best things about me is that I work from home. I am a Mental Health Coach, but doing this from home gives me tons of flexibility when working with pups. I am a great fit for dogs that are used to having a human presence around them during the day. I also have a 6-year-old male Border Collie who will be happy to bring new friends into the mix! No matter what, there will always be tons of fun around these parts. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. I believe that communication is one of the most important aspects of any booking. It can be very difficult to be away from your best friend, so part of my job is to make you feel like you never left in the first place. To that end, I’m happy to take copious notes on anything you need to be kept in the loop on. From meal prep to exercise times, I’m happy to keep a watchful eye on your pup when they’re under my wing. Of course, every detailed update will come replete with a few great pictures of us having fun together!

Left my Beagle puppy with her. She was great, took him to the dog park, kept me updated with pics of him. Will definitely use her services again!

Amaka came through in very short notice to care for my husky, Hunter. I was happy to know that Amaka had taken Hunter to the dog park several times during his stay.

I'm really happy to meet Amaka and Bronx. I feel Luna has a really good time with them. I appreciate so much her understanding and upbeat vibes. Was able to tell her where my pup was with her training. She understood and helped Luna move forward with her learning. It's what I hoped for when finding a sitter to watch my pup when I'm out of town. Bronx even showed luna some of the ropes. Amaka sent me updates each day with photos, videos and text messages. Our communication was really great and it really put me at ease knowing my pup was having fun. Luna and I are both happy to meet new friends : ) Highly recommend!

Amaka is great with my Shih Tzu! There have been times when I had to leave out for a flight and she was always willing and able to accomdate my busy schedule to watch Kayton. Very reliable and dogs love her.

Information Amaka A. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: - Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? - What’s your preferred method of communication? - Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? - Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? - Is your dog spayed/neutered? - Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? - What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? - What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

I know just how important physical exercise is to health, so your pup will be right at home with me if they like to get out and about! One of my favorite things to do is to walk along the Hudson River, as my apartment is very close to the river. My Collie and I go out walking on this path all the time, and I feel that it’s a great place to bring pups. I’ve got no problem accommodating dogs with a lot of energy, as my Collie can definitely be a bit demanding himself! With that being said, I’m happy to work with pups of any energy level and make sure we do exactly what makes them happy.
