SOOTHING WFH SITTER (5+ YEARS EXP)

Pet care experience

If you desire a soothing, indulgent experience for your (nervous) fur-baby, keep reading… - PLEASE INCLUDE A PHOTO OF YOURSELF & YOUR PET IN YOUR REQUEST - You should know: - I have about a decade in childcare experience (nanny, babysitter, au pair in France) - I have been pet/house sitting for about 5 years now, with private clients I still regularly work with, and only added on Rover in mid-2022 - I live in northern NJ with my family, which includes 2 cats and 3 exotic reptiles - I am a WFH entrepreneur/author, which allows me to stay with your pet full-time - I have an Instagram account @petslovecareofficial I work best when I: - offer my services to respectful, responsible, and communicative pet/home owners - require Meet and Greets to vet for safety + relationship dynamics (I’m VERY sensitive to energy and will unequivocally reject unsympathetic, insensitive clients, aggressive, incompatible animals, and/or homes with “bad vibes”) - shamelessly baby talk + pet the animals as soon as they’re comfortable ;) My goals during a sit: - To keep your pet as CALM + HAPPY as possible while you’re away, by maintaining their routines and a peaceful environment - To make sure your home is as, if not BETTER, than you left it so you can instantly relax when you return - To do my part in cultivating safety for myself, your pet, and your home (I am extremely vigilant, private, and careful when care-taking your home and pet) How you can help me succeed: - Leaving me a document (recommendation: type, save, and then change a word doc when needed) that outlines your normal routines, emergency contact info including a vet number, medications & supplements (if discussed), and anything else I should be aware of and/or keep an eye out for - Reminding friends, family, and close neighbors you won’t be home and not to worry when they see me around or my car in your driveway (for my safety, “pop ins” / check ins ❌ are not welcome) - Being as HONEST as possible about what your pet needs to feel comfortable and secure and what you need as the owner from our first conversation My ideal clients: - Are thoughtful, hospitable, transparent in their communication, and enjoy a good laugh - Raise loving animals who enjoy or at least warm up to company - Have complete trust in my abilities to care for their furry loved one(s); helicopter owners and micromanagers are not a good fit - Respond well to questions and concerns - Own a clean, ghost-free home (I’m allergic to creepy!) - Enjoy themselves while they’re away Finally, I’m always open to questions throughout the booking process. Happy to talk soon.

Amara was the most thoughtful and caring dog sitter for our girl while we were away for the weekend. She went above and beyond caring for her (and our home!) by sending us photos and videos throughout the day, lots of long walks and indoor/outdoor playtime! She left our home absolutely spotless, allowing us to arrive home from a trip away and just relax and enjoy being back with our pup! Amara has a lovely personality, she is trustworthy and our dog absolutely fell in love with her - we will definitely be having Amara back again!

Amara was amazing! She was so great with our senior dog Ginger - she really cares and wanted to make sure it was the best possible experience for Ginger. And it was! Ginger loved her. ❤️❤️❤️ And so did we! And, to boot, I’m pretty sure she left our house more clean than she found it! Haha. Amazing. Highly recommend her. We will for sure be using her again!

Safety, trust & environment

Pss. I have a preventative approach regarding safety. When in doubt, your emergency contact info and care guides, along with my resourcefulness and common sense, are the best tools I have to help your pet through any situation. If we both do our part, we’ll all be just fine.

Information Amara L. would like to know about your pet

Not a people person? Sensitive health issues? Let me know! I am comfortable with administering medication as long as it’s safe. If I suspect my safety is compromised by your pet at any point, cancellation is likely. Let’s make sure we’re always on the same page for everyone’s safety and comfort.

A typical day

A “typical day” varies depending on the sit and the pet I’m with, which is how I feel it should be. Some of my charges love cuddling and being in close proximity wherever I am, but they’re not necessarily super active. Some like to play indoors or outside, for short bursts or a long while. Wherever your fur-baby fits, I have an open mind and heart and am fairly active. I endeavor to meet them where they’re at as much as I can.
