Pet care experience
We treat your pets like our own!
Hi! I’m Amber, and my husband, Alex, and I have been caring for dogs through Rover since 2016. Dogs have always been a huge part of our family and we love giving them a safe, comfortable, and loving home while their people are away. 🐾 After taking some time away from boarding to focus on our senior pups and Finn’s IVDD recovery, we’re excited to welcome new furry friends into our home again! Finn is doing wonderfully, and our rescue dog Quark keeps things fun with his playful personality. I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. We keep our boarding group small to just two guest dogs at a time so everyone gets lots of one on one care. Dogs are welcome to relax wherever they’re most comfortable, whether that means curling up on the couch, snuggling in bed, or finding a sunny spot to nap. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs, dogs with special needs, and dogs who need medications or extra patience and routine. We feed dogs separately to keep mealtimes stress-free, and crates are only used when a dog is already comfortable with one or for short periods when we need to step out. **A little about our pups:** **Finn** - Our senior Jack Russell/Dachshund mix. He’s sweet, friendly, and enjoys a calm, easygoing pace. **Quark** - Our rescue dog who is playful and affectionate. He's a bit nervous when first meeting new dogs, but he warms up quickly and has made great friends with a lot of our guests. To keep everyone safe and comfortable, we ask that boarding dogs be house-trained and comfortable around other dogs and people. Occasional accidents happen and we understand! But frequent accidents or marking may not be the best fit for our carpeted home. We also know leaving your dog with someone else can be hard and we want them to feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. You’ll get plenty of updates and photos, and hopefully a very happy, tired, slightly spoiled dog when you come back!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Always great
Amber and Alex were great with Archie! It was his first time staying at a new place and they did a great job getting him comfortable and helping him socialize with the other dogs. We really appreciated the photo updates and they were very helpful when we had a late change in plans the week before Archie's stay. Highly recommend!
Amber was fantastic! She sent lots of pictures and updates. I felt very comfortable leaving Sansa in her care. I would definitely recommend her to others!
Our Dogs were well taken care of. Boarder was very communicative with photos and updates on their stay❤️
I’ve used this sitter multiple times now, and I can honestly say they’re one of the most reliable and trustworthy people I’ve worked with. From the start, communication has always been clear, timely, and professional, which makes planning so much easier. They take great care of my dog and consistently go above and beyond to make sure everything is handled. I always come home to a happy, well-cared-for pet, and it’s obvious they genuinely enjoy what they do. The updates and photos during stays are also a huge plus and give great peace of mind while I’m away. It’s not easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, but this is someone I continue to book with confidence. Highly recommend to anyone looking for dependable, high-quality care.
Sage seemed like she had the best time staying with Amber and Alex. She got lots of love and play time and I received multiple polices a day with updates on how she was doing!

Schedule
Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, caring for pets naturally fits into my day. This means dogs will get plenty of attention, affection, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. Mealtime is always consistent, and I’m very comfortable administering medications when needed.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our home is a laid back and dog friendly environment where guests are treated like part of the family. Dogs are welcome to curl up on the couch with us or even snuggle in bed at night if that’s what they’re used to at home. They’ll have plenty of space to play and explore in our fully fenced and locked yard, and because I only board up to two dogs at a time, every dog gets individual attention, love, and care without feeling overwhelmed. Owners are always welcome check in, and I’ll send regular updates.
Pets
A typical day
We love keeping playtime fun and safe. Our big backyard gives dogs plenty of space to run, chase tennis balls, and squeak their favorite toys. We have a 6 ft tall fence and keep the gates locked at all times. For dogs that enjoy a slower pace, they're welcome to lounge on the couch or in one of the dog beds - Quark and Finn are respectful of other dogs space. For safety reasons, we don’t take dogs on walks around the neighborhood, as there have unfortunately been incidents with off-leash dogs. Instead, we make sure your dog gets all the exercise and stimulation they need in our home and backyard.
