Full-time Fur Mama

Pet care experience

I offer in-home pet care (drop ins, overnight stays, dog walking). I am not offering boarding at this time. I started pet sitting in 2017 and now I am pet sitting full time! Dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, other small and furry friends, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and even pet piggos or chickens..... anything that is legal within city limits is welcome. Meet and greets are necessary for a smooth transition from owner to sitter. I don't mind meeting more than once before the first booking with a new client. Each pet's temperament and personality is different. Some pets are very social and love everyone upon first meeting them and a follow up meeting may not be necessary whereas other pets need more time to gain trust. I am an animal lover at heart. One client once called me "queen of the dogs". I'll take it !! 😁 Animals make the best buddies!! I do my best to make sure your pet is healthy, happy, and well kept as possible while in my care. Despite best efforts, pets can exhibit anxiety behaviors in the absence of their owners, when their normal routine is changed such as destruction of items in the home or using the restroom in the house when they normally would not. Although emergencies are rare, they do happen. I would like to ask you to provide: Your contact information An emergency contact or two in case I need help locally or cannot reach you An emergency plan Your vet's information Please make sure a current form of payment is on file Let them know that I have permission to bring them to be seen if necessary ( I'll contact you asap if I think your pet 's health is a concern) Even if you have a code lock, I kindly ask that you provide a key. I once got locked out of a client's home while pet sitting because the batteries died and I had no key. It was a mess. Any alarm codes if you want me to use your home's alarm system. Building lasting relationships with clients and their pets is of utmost importance. References are available upon request.

I was gone for a week and Amber did a wonderful job with my dogs. One of them is difficult. Kept me posted on my 2 dogs and 1 cat and somehow kept the house clean!

Amber went above and beyond my expectations! She even brought a radio for my cat to listen to so he wouldn’t feel so lonely. She’s was very thoughtful and I came home to a happy cat. Thank you so much Amber for being so caring. I appreciate it!

Amber took care of Maxwell and was very understanding of our requests. She quickly adjusted our accommodation when we had a schedule change and I would recommend her to anyone!

Amber housesat for me the week of Christmas and was absolutely amazing. She stopped by my house at least 3x every day, made sure my animals were loved, cared for, and attended to. I would say she went above and beyond in multiple aspects--at one point, my dog had run out of peanut butter (her favorite), so Amber went out and got more out of her own pocket? She was in contact with me every day and sent me pics of all of my babies. Highly recommend her. <3

I accommodate accordingly to each pet family's needs. Each pet and home is different, so during our meet and greet I will learn about your pets and what kind of care is best for them.

Information Amber H. would like to know about your pet

Anxiety or behavior issues Behavior toward other people and animals Food or resource aggression Medications or supplements Any specials needs such as vision, hearing, or incontinence challenges Feeding routine If you need drop ins, a minimum of TWO per day is recommended and really three per day is best for dogs. They not only need to potty but they get lonely when left alone too long. At least ONE visit per 24 hr window for cats and other animals. * Is your pet an escape artist or an inconveniently excellent problem-solving genius?*

A typical day

This really depends on your pet, type, age, health, etc. For dogs who are in good health, walk well on the leash and have good manners, walks and adventures are totally an option! Otherwise we can play in the yard
