Highlights
Pet care experience
Feline Specialist (+dog training!)
Growing up I watched the Aristocats every single day for years on end (if you know, it’s the best movie about cats ever made). I also grew up up with little Shih Tzus, so I am OBSESSED with little dogs! They truly are tiny but mighty. I raised a hedgehog and bearded dragon in high school, but I always loop back around to cats. My soul cat, Emma, passed away in winter 2025 at 20 YEARS OLD! I call myself the Wenatchee’s #1 Feline Specialist because I have bottled fed various kittens and the most recent, my baby Apple. We found him in an apple bin in an orchard, hence named Apple. I have trained him to do various tricks, is crate trained (he taught himself that lol), and is on a special prescription diet with daily medication. Lately I just raised a puppy, Peanut, from Okandogs! Peanut and I have grown extremely close because we started off training around 1-2 hours every day starting at 12 weeks old when we enrolled in the Petsmart classes. He’s taken 5 classes now and I like to say that I am a non-certified cat/dog trainer after training Peanut and Apple.

Safety, trust & environment
I like to say that I will stick as closely as I can to your pet’s established schedule. I want all dogs, animals and small creatures to feel that I am a safe space for them while their human is away. I have cared for all types of animals including special needs including administering fluids, giving oral medication, and injections. I am very well versed in pet care and I always hope and know it shows by my work. I pride myself in holding myself to a higher standard and leaving pet areas extremely clean, do some limited dog training, and being available by phone to pet parents 24/7. If you have a question or concern, I will be there. Pet care is more than just the pets, it’s about reassuring families that their loved ones will be in a safe environment with a trusted person. I know trusting someone with your pet is hard, but I strive and take pride in knowing that I can help pet parents feel at ease with my commitment and communication as a big strength of mine. Please note: I am currently not taking clients that are required to use potty pads and do not take house sits that have indoor cameras for my own privacy and safety. Cameras for drop-ins are accepted (and even encouraged!), as I do the same thing to make sure Mr. Apple hasn’t burnt the house down. Outdoor cameras are for your neighborhood safety, and I like that they let a pet parent know that I am there on time (or early) to my drop-ins.
Ratings and reviews
Amaris was excellent! She was professional and diligent from initial messaging to meet & greet to visits. She was really wonderful with my cat and shared nice updates each visit. Thank you so much!
Amaris was very punctual and my dog Tico enjoyed their walks together!
Our cat Sammie told us she thought Amaris was just great, and did a good job!
Amaris is fantastic with our Luna (a blind cat). Great communicator, loving person & prompt. Thank you so much for staying with her & helping us out.
Amaris is fantastic! She is prompt, thorough, communicative and professional in every sense. We are really grateful for the top notch care she gave to our cat, Alice! She gave us a peace of mind to a level that exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend her!
Great job! I enjoyed the peace of mind knowing Audrey was being well taken care of.

Schedule
My business is pet sitting, so I am very blessed to be able to do this full time. I can come in any weekday, weekend and holiday between 4AM-12AM for drop-ins, and house sitting. I never go out of town for holidays since I know pet parents confide in me to make their holiday easier. Since I do have my own puppy and baby Apple, I charge on the higher end to housesit since I have to run home 3x a day for their breakfast, mid-day potty, and dinner (+medicine). Gas has unfortunately soared, and driving to and from houses across town can add up.

- Similar to my animals, I like to know your exact daily routine to keep to it as much as I can. If that means breakfast and potty at 6AM, then I am committed to that. I would like to come beforehand to learn your pet’s routine, medication administration if required, and start to earn your pet’s trust. Please note: I require daily drop-ins for cats. I currently do not do every other day drop-ins, since there was an incident where the kibble dispenser failed and a cat went a day without eating. I also believe cats deserve a daily litter clean. For dogs, I require 3 drop-ins so can potty frequently and don’t have to go 12 hours holding it.
