Wisconsin Rapids, WI
Dog savvy homemaker at your service
Pet care experience
I'm Amber, 33 years old, and a Wisconsin Rapids transplant. My husband & I own a house on Lincoln Street. We previously had an American Staffy and currently have a Pitty mix so we have bully breed experience. Previously, I had a traumatized Lab mix for 8 years. I helped my mom raise her Fox Terrier mix through puppyhood and later cared for her full time for 18 months. I'm savvy in reading dog body language, positive reinforcement training & handling, and seek to avoid using force as much as possible. I'm a homemaker with no human babies yet, just my anxious pup Sheba. Please let me know if you have any questions. I love dogs and can't wait to meet yours! :-) We are an allergy household, mostly food, but I am also allergic to cats, other small mammals, and chemicals (fragrances, paint, etc). Please don't hesitate to send me a message with more questions. ***I do what I can for shorter notice requests; especially for repeat clients. 3+ days notice and a "meet & greet" preferred for new clients. Day before or night before requests are more difficult for me to be available for and Rover doesn't have a feature for me to prevent them from coming in. ***I will walk a dog up to 60lbs***
Reviews
Amber was amazing and our dog Tidus loved her. She was very responsible and attentive!
A comfort to receive photos of Lucy when you stopped in to care for her. Eased our minds. Nice not to try to rely on friends and family for everything.
Good experience! Would definitely use her again.
Amber was amazing with our dog! We had Princess stay with Amber and her husband for a week and Princess almost didn't want to leave! She sent pictures and videos throughout the week and was quick to respond to an allergic reaction without any direction! I couldn't be any happier with the service and if we go on another vacation there is nowhere else I would feel as comfortable leaving our dog. I had zero worries and that really helps to have a relaxing vacation. Princess misses her home away from home already...

Information Amber M. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences. I have a wide range of experience & am comfortable with most types of dogs. I want to be your dog's friend so knowing any "triggers" /dislikes in advance will be helpful (ie he doesn't like his paws touched). I have experience with anxious dogs and allergies as well so please let me know if either are applicable. What is your dog's daily routine? How do you feed them? What is their typical energy level and how do you satisfy it? We tend to be a low to moderate energy household. Is the dog leash trained? Do you use any devices? I'm familiar with using a head halter and harnesses. Is there anything your dog really likes? Words, being pet in a certain spot, etc What "control" commands does your dog know? Ie "go lay down" versus "settle"
A typical day
When I care for your dog there will be walks around the neighborhood or playing in the backyard. I am always game for curling up on the couch to snuggle. If we play in the mud we will get a bath.
