Highly Qualified Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Amber! I have over 8 years of experience . I love what I do. I have also worked in veterinary facilities assisting doctors with appointments, it was such a fulfilling position to assist in caring for animals medical needs. My ultimate goal is to start my own pet care company, by focusing on each individual pet making their experience unique, safe and fun! I take care of your pets every need during holidays, personal trips as well as a weekly basis. I always make sure your pets are having fun, getting exercise and staying safe while you are away. I am also CPR and First Aid certified. For puppies or adult dogs I can reinforce your basic commands and potty training if need be. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with love, patience and lots of fun! While you're away I can assure you, your pet will be in great hands! Please contact me further if you would like to set up a meet and greet. Thanks and hope to hear from you soon!

Amber was amazing! Very reliable and responsive. My dog has a few quirks and he loves her! She even stayed with him later than we had planned when he had an upset stomach. So nice to know he was left in loving hands! Will definitely be using Amber again! And would recommend her to anyone.

Amber was great with our 2 fur babies :) She asked a lot of questions, and you can tell she really cares about the well being of the animals she sits for. Would highly recommend!

Amber seemed like a good fit at first. She was great with my dog at our meet & greet and seemed very experienced and well-prepared, despite arriving an hour late for the meet and greet. The first part of her approx 30-hour stay with my dog went fine, she sent a couple photos the first few hours, and I expected this same level of communication to continue. However, I didn’t hear anything from Amber for the 24 hours between these texts and my arrival home. Thankfully I have a dog camera in my home focused on my dog’s crate so I could look and see that my dog was safe. Amber stayed with my dog overnight until the morning, despite not replying to my messages. She left about 5 hours earlier than we discussed, and I had mentioned I would pay her extra beyond the 24-hours included in a 1-night house sitting booking. However, Amber’s complete lack of communication for a majority of her stay with my dog was unacceptable. Additionally, I noticed an odor when I arrived home and looked back at footage from my dog camera, and she was smoking inside of my home with my dog around, something that is entirely unacceptable. Finally, I found shreds of something on the ground when I arrived home, indicating that my dog ripped up a toy of some sort, but Amber entirely failed to message me and notify me that my dog destroyed and may have eaten part of a toy, something that could be very detrimental to her health. I had high expectations for Amber and attempted to communicate these, but was thoroughly disappointed in her care of my dog. Thankfully my dog is safe and healthy (for now) but the care that she received was not what I had anticipated and communicated about with Amber.

Information Amber E. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed restrictions, and i am passionate about giving those who may have a history of "aggressive" behavior, a chance. I do not get intimidated by any pets with a past of anxiety or minor aggression, I respect boundaries and understand animal behavior.

A typical day

I can follow your dogs normal walk routine, I like to make sure you dog gets plenty of exercise if need be so my walks are long, or for the older ones short and sweet with more time for relaxing and getting lots of love. Activities can include fetching and running around, all based on your dog personality.
