Availability
I am currently working as a house cleaner. I typically work 6 hours a day (3 hours a house), having time to stop and check on doggies in between houses and in between classes as well. I have a beautiful family at home so on the weekends I typically like to spend time with them! My partner, our 7 year old son, our Corgi Coffee and I have made the decision to open our home up for boarding allowing us to all care and love on the pups while also being able to have more quality family time together.

About Amber L.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
While at the home of other pets I try and make the pet feel as comfortable as possible while their owners are away, making sure to keep their routines about the same. I will have owners leave instructions of care for me, along with feeding times, if they have any silly personality traits or triggers, leave any medications they may need, etc. I always make sure to know where the food, toys, leash and treats are. In my own home, owners can bring crates if needed, animals can sleep in our bed or owners can bring their doggie beds. We have a large backyard, but it is not fenced in, we currently have one lead we use for doggies, and owners can also bring their own. Feeding time will stay to what the dogs are use to and owners should leave instructions for care/routines for me so even though they’re in a new space, they have some consistency with their schedules!

Information Amber L. would like to know about your pet
For boarding at our house, the dog must be okay with children over the age of 7, we have a 7 year old who loves dogs and we are looking for doggies that will love him as well! Let me know ahead of time if your dog needs certain medications, has certain behaviors, pulls hard when he’s walking (mostly only concerned if it’s a very large dog). If the dog does/does not like certain things (such as belly rubs). Are they or are they not allowed on furniture and of course, where there treats are kept. ?
A typical day
I love to walk/run on trails with dogs. I love playing fetch, or just running around a field and being goofy. After that, a treat for the both of us, and some belly rubs and snuggles for the dogs!

Pet care experience
I know that every pet has their own needs and own personalities. I have been working with high energy dogs, older dogs, small dogs for years now. Remaining flexible with each individual animals needs. Friends have called me when they will be away for long weekends, I’m very flexible and am here to make sure your dogs, cats and any other pets are taken care of so you can enjoy your vacations, long weekends, nights out, whatever it may be. Hosting: We have a family of 4 as of right now and one more on the way. My wonderful husband Jase helps welcome our furry guests with an abundance of belly rubs and play time, I have a 7 year old son who adores all of the pups we welcome in and always asks if they can stay a little longer. He helps get out any of that playful energy as well! We also have a 6 year old Corgi who can be sassy and jealous at the first meet (never any bites or fights, usually just a singular jealous grumble) but after a little butt sniffing and 10 minutes of meeting the pup she is totally fine. She’s very mellow and is now warmed up to us welcoming other pups into our home. She just has to go into the grass and do a few “territory kicks” to make sure the other pup knows that “this is her house” 😂. Since we do have a kiddo and I am currently expecting we do require a short meet and greet before every overnight/extended stay for everyone’s safety. House Sitting/Cat care: Unfortunately as of right now I can’t open up my house sitting services at this time, and can only visit cats if they do not require litter box cleaning (if you have an automatic litter box I can still come check on, feed and play with kitties though)! Drop In Visits with Pups: As of right now I am still currently accepting drop in visits for now, but do also require meet and greets before drop in visits as well. Thank you for considering me to care for your pups, and I can’t wait to meet you all!
Reviews
Amber is a wonderful host! We can tell Nala had a great time - she came back relaxed, loving, and tired, a perfect doodle review. Thanks for taking care of Nala and showing her so much love.
Always a joy having Amber watch our kitties!
Amber is very attentive and reliable! Such a lovely person. I felt at ease being away from my 3 kitties as I knew they were in good hands. My shy, feral kitty Poppy warmed up to Amber right away - I have never seen Poppy do that before. Amazing!
Amber did an amazing job watching our dogs Charlie and Ocho for the week we were gone! We are returning clients of hers and highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs. She is highly dependable, trustworthy, and provides excellent communication. Thanks again Amber!!
