Pet care experience
Hello! Through having a black lab throughout childhood extending into adulthood, caring for pets of colleagues (pomeranians to newfoundlands!), and pursuing an undergraduate degree in Animal Science with a focus on Companion Animal/Animal Biology, I've had ample opportunities to care for small to giant dogs, as well as cats (I currently have two cats!). I've cared for very well trained dogs to some very rambunctious puppies. My parents have actually jokingly called me the dog whisperer because I'm historically very good at calming down crazy pups! My partner currently has a puppy, and we joke that I'm better at working with her than he is (It's only halfway a joke!). Additionally, my focus of study in undergrad at Michigan State University was Companion Animals and Pre-Veterinary Medicine. While I've since transitioned to working in fisheries, I have 4 years of specialized experience in the classroom, humane societies, and vet clinics.
Reviews
Amber was the first person I have ever used through Rover and I was impressed. She was very compliant to my requests and extremely helpful. She took good care of my cat in my absence, which wasn’t exactly easy considering how shy Cleo can be with strangers. But from Amber’s updates it was evident that she really tried to bond with her and gained her trust towards the end of the week. Highly recommend.
Amber took the best care of my cat and is wonderful with every dog I’ve ever seen her with! She’s an animal lover at her heart and will absolutely treat your pet like her own!

I unfortunately will not be caring for clients' dogs or cats in my house, so this question is not relevant to me at this time.
Information Amber J. would like to know about your pet
What level of energy does your dog have? How is your dog in passing interactions with other people/dogs (e.g. should I avoid people/pets on walks)?
A typical day
Since I’m new to the area, I never get tired of walking around and scoping out new places! I don’t quite know the lay of the land yet, but love exploring new areas and what better way to do that than with a four legged buddy! I also am an avid runner, and can run with your pup for a couple miles if that’s their thing!

Availability
I’m currently a full time employee with the USDA and am hoping to fill my spare time with something meaningful like helping individuals with pet care! I’m available after 4 PM daily, and all day on weekends. My work schedule is also a little flexible, so morning visits are a possibility, too, depending on what is needed!
