Availability
I'm currently between jobs, so my schedule is very flexible. I share custody of my own dog with an ex, so the more advanced notice you contact me with, the more likely I can arrange for your boarding and pet-sitting needs to be on an off-period! However, him being home doesn't affect my walking/home visit schedule.

About Amber B.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Currently available to help in the client's home, ranging from drop-ins and walks to full-day sitting to overnighters. Training and bathing/nail trims may also be on the table, as well as boarding in my house once I've met them. All people and pets in my home are 100% up to date on vaccines, including for COVID, so I won't be bringing any microscopic surprises with me.
Home
Information Amber B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know everything you can think of regarding their needs, temperament, and areas for improvement. For example, are they fine with being picked up? Do they get aggressive if approached while eating? Are they sensitive to certain noises or movement? Do they have guilty pleasure snacks (shoes, couch cushions, trash can contents, etc)?
A typical day
Whether it's play style, petting location, or walk duration/direction, most pets will visibly let you know what their preferences are. So as long as they keep behaving politely, I'll typically follow their lead on activities! Keeping small training treats around for regular reinforcement (without the worry of adding too many calories) will set your pet up for success (even after my watch has ended). For a small surcharge, I'm also open to driving your dog to a dog park or busy park (like Goodale) if they do well near other strangers on their first few walks.

Pet care experience
I have 20+ years of experience living with and caring for dogs, 10+ for cats, and 1-2 for birds/fish. I have a degree in Molecular Genetics and spent two years in a lab researching animal "environmental enrichment," providing me with advanced understanding of animal behavior, development, and nutrition/metabolism. I stick to positive science-based principles for keeping my own dog (an 8 y/o pom mutt) happy and healthy, and will do the same for your best friend(s)!
Reviews
Amber is great with my 2 dogs! She takes the time to take them on long walks and even stops at the dog park along the way. Will definitely be using her often!
