Safety, trust & environment

I don’t usually crate dogs unless the owner prefers this. I like to make sure the dog feels comfortable in my home. The comfort in your dog staying with me is that they will be loved on as much as they are in their own homes.

Information Amatista C. would like to know about your pet

How many times a day does he/she eat and how much? How many walks a day does he/she normally take? Is he/she allowed on furniture at home?

A typical day

I like to play fetch with the dogs an take them out on walks when the days aren’t too hot for their paws. Our backyard is large fenced in which helps with free space to run even for big dogs.

Pet care experience

I was a full-time teacher who not only has a passion for working with children, but also with animals! I volunteered at the Humane Society where I had the opportunity to work with different dog breeds. My husband and I adopted a dog from the Humane society in 2018. She came to us extremely energetic and without behavior training. I had the privilege of working with her to make life a little less crazy! After having my daughter and son, I took a break from dog sitting to adjust. We have been loving getting back to dog sitting for family and friends and decided to get back on Rover. We love meeting new dogs! We have plenty of room for play. Since I am home all day, I like to take dogs with me on our daily jogs/walks. Your fur baby will be spoiled and tired by the time you pick him/her up from all the fun he or she will have! I look forward to meeting you! Dogs will need to be comfortable around children since I have a toddler and baby. 😊

Amatista did a great job watching our dog for a week! Send a good amount of pictures so I could share with the family.

Amatista and her family took such good care of Willow as usual. We and Willow hope Amatista never says no when we need an overnight babysitter. Whether it's a day or a week, Willow is part of the family. Thanks for all your love of our sweet Willow.
