Highlights
Pet care experience
Big dogs are welcomed
What sets me apart is the extra care, space, and experiences I provide for every dog. Your pup can enjoy safe off-leash playtime and complimentary washes after messy or adventurous days—no extra cost. I am just a 5-minute drive from a large park, perfect for long, enriching walks that help burn energy, reduce anxiety, and keep dogs mentally stimulated. Whether your dog loves exploring or prefers a calm stroll, I tailor each walk to their needs and energy level. I’m especially attentive to routine, comfort, and individual personalities. I’m patient with anxious dogs, mindful with senior pets, and consistent with puppies who are still learning. I reinforce basic manners, follow feeding and walking schedules closely, and provide plenty of affection and reassurance. You can expect frequent updates, photos, and honest communication, so you always feel connected and confident while you’re away. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, and right at home—not just watched, but truly cared for.

Ratings and reviews
Amarilis was easy to connect with, punctual and a great help with my dog. I booked a last minute request and she was able to accommodate me by taking care of my dog while I was out of town. She followed his routine and it allowed for the stay to go smoothly. I recommend using Amarilis and I will be booking with her more often.
She did great
Amarilis has a very sweet personality. My baby Rocky she a very old dog and doesn't get along with many so I was skeptical about leaving him with a stranger for 6 hours. During our meet and greet, she made me feel comfortable about it. At first Rocky didn't want to be bothered, as always!. She responded very professional about it . She told him she was a friend and hugged me. I thought that was funny. After a while Rocky jumped on her and allowed her to play with him. She reassured me everything will be okay and it was. At my request, she sent photos and a time frame of what was going on throughout the day. I knew when Rocky was eating, walking, etc. He loves to run and was allowed to do so in her open Style home.
Omg! This girl right here is a life saver! She was available last minute. I booked her for a 2 day stay and man. Her home is so large and the yard is a nice sides for my Spotty to run around. Her home is located on a very quiet block. Many family next door, which I loved. She keep me posted throughout the day. She even let me FaceTime her to speak with Spotty when I couldn't sleep. She was very flexible and caring.
I hired Amarilis for a week to watch Sandy. She is a 5 year old border collie. She is my heart and I was so upset to find out I couldn't take her on my business trip. I heard of Amarilis via a mutual friend. She said Amarilis was very sweet, warm and love dogs. I booked a meeting with her and I fall in love with her personality. She truly loved my dog as her own. The connection with Sandy and her was almost instant. She keep me informed daily and whenever she walked, feed, or played with Sandy. She SENT PHOTOS and I felt like I was there with them. She has a nice backyard that Sandy loved. Her home is very spacious, which allowed my big dog to move around with ease. I will definitely recommend Ms. Amarilis!!!

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine—it’s truly part of my lifestyle. I’m a teacher, which gives me a consistent and dependable schedule that works perfectly for dog care. I don’t start work until 9:00 AM, so mornings are calm and unhurried, allowing time for a long morning walk, feeding, and quality one-on-one attention. I’m off work by 3:00 PM and home by 3:30 PM, making afternoons ideal for extended walks, playtime, or park visits. I also have a pet of my own, so caring for a dog is already part of my everyday routine. From walks and meals to enrichment, comfort, and structure, adding another pup into my day feels natural and seamless. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and reading a dog’s individual needs, especially for puppies, seniors, or dogs who may be anxious. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s part of my everyday life, and I care for every dog as if they were my own.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets with a strong focus on safety, comfort, and individualized attention. In my home, I have baby gates available to safely separate pets if needed and a spare room that allows for one-on-one time, quiet breaks, or a comfortable space for pets who prefer their own area. This setup works especially well for anxious dogs, seniors, or dogs who need slow, supervised introductions. I am close to a dog park for safe, off-leash play and exercise, which I use based on each dog’s comfort level and energy. Playtime is always supervised, and I follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and house rules closely. I aim to keep their routine as normal as possible. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s schedule, and provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship just as you would. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel secure, cared for, and happy.
Pets
A typical day
I love keeping pets engaged with a mix of exercise, enrichment, and fun experiences tailored to their personality and energy level. Daily activities include long walks, plenty of playtime, and lots of affection. I am nearby a gated dog park for safe off-leash play like fetch and free running, and I’m just a 5-minute drive from a large park, which is perfect for adventure walks, sniff breaks, and exploring new smells. At home, I incorporate interactive play, basic training reinforcement (sit, stay, leash manners), puzzle toys, and calm enrichment for mental stimulation. For dogs who enjoy water or get extra messy, I offer complimentary washes using the dog spa to keep them clean and comfortable. For pups who prefer a quieter pace—like seniors or anxious dogs—activities might include short strolls, one-on-one playtime, gentle enrichment, and cozy downtime in a calm space. Every pet gets a balance of fun and rest, and I always follow the owner’s preferences and the pet’s comfort level. My goal is for pets to feel happy, stimulated, and relaxed—like they’re on a little staycation of their own.
