Amber's Pet Getaway
**About me** I am a UC Davis grad and have grown up with multiple animals my entire life. I have owned dogs, cats, parrots, hamsters, rats, iguanas, frogs, turtles, and basically anything else you can think of! I am definitely an animal person. I live in a townhouse, with one other roommate who is ecstatic about animals and will love them unconditionally. **About my home/services** I provide overnight boarding throughout the week and on selective days on the weekends, house sitting, dog walking, daycare, check in services (I will also check in on other pets such as: chickens, rodents, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, cats, fish, frogs, turtles, etc.), bathing, and pick-up/ drop-off services. Please look at my services for rates and information or contact me directly. I do have two cats, who are dog, people, and cat friendly. They have grown up around other animals, making them very social and loving. They are both neutered and have all of their shots with no health complications. Please contact me for any inquiries regarding them and possible concerns. **About my neighborhood** I currently live in a townhouse right outside of downtown Walnut Creek. The townhouse is very spacious, with three stories, two bedrooms, three balconies, and a common area. There is a trail behind my place, and just down the road an even longer trail that is several miles long. Not to mention there is a park and surrounding grass areas/trails where dogs may do their duties/play. There is plenty of space to roam here! There are two steep entrances that lead to the street from the complex I am currently residing in, however extra precaution will be used when dogs are to be taken outside. Other than that, the grass areas, trails, and my townhouse are surrounded by other townhomes and dogs will not reach the street. It is a very quiet neighborhood, with friendly individuals. **What to expect** I love running, long walks, many, many cuddles with pups/cats/any animals, spoiling them with love and toys. The dogs/animals will be able to play in the common area, every room, and the outside areas. I can take them on daily walks around the townhouse complex, and to other grass areas. **Special rules or requests** It would be greatly appreciated for individuals to drop their dogs/animals off to me, but I am very flexible when it comes to caring for your pets. With that being said, I will pick up your pet if need be. I don't think dog breeds such as Great Danes would benefit in my townhouse, but I am more than willing to go over to your place to watch them. Other than that, I bring all sorts of animals here and they thrive in this environment!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Amber was the best cat sitter we have had so far, and we have tried many! She followed all our instructions carefully and really tried to bond with our cats and made them comfortable around herself.
Amber was absolutely amazing with my two bulldogs, Chunky and Jelly! She came by before the stay to meet them, learn their routine, and ask thoughtful questions so she knew exactly what was expected. The weekend I was away was scorching hot, and she made sure the dogs (and herself!) stayed safe and comfortable. She sent updates and photos a couple times a day, my pups looked so happy and relaxed! Amber even went above and beyond by helping clean up dog messes. It’s clear she truly loves animals and takes pride in her work. I came home to happy pups and a stress-free experience. I will definitely be hiring her again!
So great to have a dog sitter who knows our dog well, and conscientiously makes sure she gets the attention she needs, even slowing down as an older dog!
Reliable and great communication, will definitely book again!
Great walker!
Amber has watched our older lab several times and always takes wonderful care of her. She is great about sending pictures and updates. Thanks Amber!

Schedule
Please keep in mind I have a full time job outside of Rover, but I always adjust my schedule when I am caring for animals. Regarding the weekends, I am available all day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my number one priority. I want owners and animals to feel comfortable with me while their animals are in my care. I treat any animal I look after as if it were my own. With that being said, the environment in which I am watching animals is constantly changing, so I will adjust accordingly to make sure your animals are safe and happy.
A typical day
I love taking dogs to the nearby park and letting them play in the grass. Sometimes I will take them on hikes or to a playdate with other dogs (if that is what the owner wants). If they like the car, I like to take them for rides with me and have even taken some with me to my office.
