Highlights
Pet care experience
Trusted pet & home care
I specialize in in-home care that keeps things calm, consistent, and familiar while you're away. Whether it's a walk, dropin, or overnight stay, my goal is to keep your pet's routine as close to normal as possible. I follow your care instructions closely, provide regular photo updates, and treat your home with the same respect I treat your pets. I'll bring in mail and packages, take care of trash day, water plants if needed, and keep everything secure so you can return home to everything just as you left it. I've cared for dogs, cats, and other animals with a wide range of personalities and needs, including administering medications and basic grooming. Every pet is different, and I tailor my care to help them feel safe and comfortable. I'm proactive and detail-oriented, and I take pride in catching the little things before they become bigger problems. **Before booking:** Please let me know if your pet has any special care needs, including separation anxiety, complex medication schedules, reactivity, incontinence, or other behavioral concerns. If your pet has unique care requirements, sharing them up front helps me determine whether we're a great fit and quote the appropriate rate. **Housesitting expectations**: My standard housesitting rate assumes I can leave for normal work, errands, and personal obligations. If your pet has strict limits on how long they can be left alone, restrictions on caregiver departures, or requires someone home for most of the day, please let me know before booking. These requests may require my Constant Care rate ($165–250/night). Most of my schedule fills with repeat clients and referrals 1–3 months in advance, so feel free to reach out early if you have upcoming travel plans. I'm happy to reserve tentative dates. **A few quick notes**: • Day sits longer than a standard dropin are billed at my housesitting rate. • A small travel fee may apply for clients outside my immediate area (always discussed in advance).

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. You will receive regular updates and photos (usually at least once per day, or fewer if you prefer a text-free trip), and your animals can expect as much (or as little) playtime and interaction as desired. If your pet requires specific care, a written description of routines, medications, or preferences is greatly appreciated so I can provide the best care possible.
Ratings and reviews
June loves her visits from Amber!
Amber made an effort to meet-and-greet June ahead of her drop-in visit, which was very thoughtful. Appreciated her thoughtfulness in taking care of June the last couple of days.
This is the second time max and I have used Amber! We will 1,000% keep using her and rebooking
Amber was absolutely amazing!
Amber is the best! She was an absolute lifesaver during post-surgery recovery in need of multiple visits a day for walks and bathroom breaks. She couldn’t have been kinder, was always right on time, and so accommodating with my schedule. I am so grateful for the wonderful care she provided Fionn!
Amber was a great sitter! Super great communicator and gave my dog lots of love. Would highly recommend and will be using her for any future inquiries!

Schedule
I work a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to plan my day around pet care. My standard housesitting service includes overnight care and maintaining your pet's routine, while still allowing me to leave for personal obligations, errands, and other scheduled pet visits.

- Please let me know up front if your pet has any special needs, preferences, or quirks so I can provide the best care possible. Helpful details may include: • difficulty being left alone for extended periods of time (e.g., 1-3 hours or less) • requiring companionship for 16+ hours/day, or limits on caregiver time away (e.g., no more than 5 hours of total alone time or only 2 departures per day) • strict schedules or involved medication regimens • anxiety, reactivity, or behavior around people/other animals • house training issues or incontinence Depending on your pet’s care needs, an additional surcharge or my Constant Care rate may apply. I’m always happy to talk through details. Sharing as much as possible upfront helps ensure we’re a great fit and aligned on expectations.
