Safety, trust & environment

Based on directive and to minimally disrupt their routines and comforts. I adapt easily and I find I have a good energy for animals to adapt to being around me—not forcing anything and just letting them lead the way in terms of their comfort level.

Information Amber M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of special needs, medical conditions, and anything else relevant so that I can be prepared to care for your pets the best I can!

A typical day

Outside time, whatever that looks like (yard, walks, hikes for hikers), relaxing time in the home with them, play inside/outside depending on their personality and interests

Dog & cat loving home sitter

Pet care experience

I have decades of experience around cats and dogs - in the home and with extended family pets, and then started pet care for others as a teen. Through my teens and 20s I consistently dog sat, did scheduled walks out of others’ homes, or cat play/feed visits. I’ve loved each and every pet: from Great Dane siblings to cats that rule the house and play it cool. I grew up with cats and have long term cared for a Vizsla dog beloved to me, as my own. I have experience with animals that do not get along with other animals, or take a while to get used to humans (I’ve always had an affinity for these guys and allowed them the space and time to grow comfortable with me). I live in Portland, OR but am from the Hudson Valley and back in the area to be closer to my father who is on hospice with a terminal illness. I am reactivating my Rover profile because I am working from my laptop some hours a week here and there (I choose the hours) and spending some time with my father each week. All of my days are flexible and I’d be open to arrangements based on need. An animal to hang with and care for would be really lovely at this time.

Amber was great with our little boy! She gave him lots of cuddles and bundled him up when he was cold (always cold). Her daily pics brought a smile to our faces while on vacation. Looking forward to having our dog stay with her again!

Amber’s home was a GREAT place for Walter to stay for a week. She has a very calm demeanor and he seemed to be at ease right away. He barely barked when I left and that’s rare! Throughout my vacation Amber sent really cute photos of Walter on walks and napping, and when I picked him up he didn’t seem all that eager to leave. That’s a sign of a great stay!

Amber was amazing!!! She was a dream Rover for us to work with. Charlie is a 2 year old miniature dachshund with some separation anxiety, and he took to her like glue from the start. She was prompt in her text messages and sent frequent pictures! We came home to a happy, exhausted pup. BONUS - She works from home & he got to spend most of his time with her. We were thrilled, & will definitely use Amber again! :)

Amber was great! It was amazing to have someone active enough watch my pup for the first time, responsibly. Would definitely recommend. She also takes amazing photos! Thank you
