Amber can care for
Availability
Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I have a regular commitment every Thursday morning from 9:45am–12:00pm where I walk and care for a neighbour’s dog, so I’m unavailable during this time each week. Outside of that, I’m flexible with bookings depending on the day and notice given. I also live with my mum and we share care of our dog, who has three walks a day. I usually take on one of these walks per day and this is already built into my routine so it doesn’t affect my availability for other pet care bookings. Although I live at home I will be doing this myself and have years of experience walking dogs alone. I also volunteer at a doggy daycare on a weekly basis, which is flexible and arranged around my availability, so I can adjust this when needed. Overall, I’m organised and reliable, and I make sure each pet gets the time and care they need.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I always prioritise safety, routine, and making the pet feel as comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walking, and any specific care needs, and I make sure doors, gates, and leads are always secure. I’m confident handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments, including reactive or anxious dogs, due to my experience with my own rescue dog and working with dogs in daycare settings. I aim to keep pets calm and happy by sticking to their normal routine as much as possible, giving them attention when they want it and space when they need it. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure the environment is safe, clean, and stress-free while their owner is away.
Information Amber K. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for a pet, I like to know about their routine, personality, and any specific needs they may have. This includes feeding schedules, walking routines, medical conditions, dietary requirements, medications, and whether they have any fears, anxieties, or reactivity around other animals or people. I also like to know what they enjoy, what comforts them, and anything they dislike or should avoid. The more I know in advance, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
A typical day
A typical day with pets depends on their age, personality, and energy levels, but I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. For dogs, this can include walks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddles, and plenty of attention and supervision. I enjoy playing games like fetch, using toys for mental stimulation, and making sure dogs get a good balance of exercise and rest. For more relaxed or older pets, I’m also happy just spending calm quality time with them and keeping them company. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and adapting activities to what they enjoy most.

Pet care experience
I have experience dog walking and pet sitting for a neighbour, including weekly 45-minute walks and in-home care for a puppy Westie. I also volunteer at a doggy daycare where I assist with around eight dogs at a time, supporting play, supervision, and enrichment activities in both indoor and outdoor secure environments. I have hands-on experience with reactive, anxious, and medically sensitive dogs through caring for my own 23kg rescue dog, including managing leash reactivity, arthritis, and dietary needs. This has given me confidence handling strong, excitable dogs and adapting care to each animal’s individual needs. I am calm, reliable, and very attentive to safety and wellbeing, and I have a strong long-term passion for animal care and rehabilitation.

Reviews
Amber was an absolute god send for us on our recent lengthy holiday, she took excellent care of our young cat and was reliable, flexible, professional and very resourceful in dealing with issues such as the heatwave and a dead rat!! She is clearly experienced and natural with animals and became good friends with our shy little miso, it was such a load off our minds, Amber is trustworthy and approachable and we felt very safe having her in our home, we look forward to having her again and also introducing her to our rescue dog, she was very knowledgeable and understanding about nervous dogs which is a rare find. So glad we picked Amber and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.
Was very happy with amber watching tiger cat whilst on holiday.she was reliable fed tiger n anything else i asked her to do.she spent time petting tiger.would use rover again no problem
Amber is a kind, reliable, and attentive pet caregiver. Elsa is always excited to see her and clearly enjoys spending time with her. It is lovely to know that Elsa is being cared for by someone so responsible and loving. I would definitely recommend Amber to other pet owners.
Amber is a responsible, caring, and trustworthy pet caregiver. She has a natural way with animals and treats pets like they are part of the family. I feel completely confident leaving Reggie in Amber’s care, knowing he is safe, loved, and well looked after.❤️
