Availability

I work from home full time, so I'm rarely away from the house for more than a quick errand. That means consistent attention all day — on-schedule feedings and meds, midday walks, and a calm, present companion rather than a pet left alone for hours. My schedule is flexible enough to accommodate early meds, late-night potty breaks, or whatever your pet's normal routine requires.

Safety, trust & environment

House sitting: I treat your home and pets like my own. Because I work remotely, I'm present throughout the day — no waiting around for a sitter to stop by. I keep feeding, medication, exercise, and sleep routines exactly as you left them, with regular photo updates throughout your trip. Drop-in visits: I make every visit count — fresh food and water, medications if needed, potty breaks, and real playtime, not just a quick check. You'll get a photo update after every single visit.

Information Amber M. would like to know about your pet

Before any booking, I like to learn as much as possible about your pet’s normal routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide the best care possible. Important information includes feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, favorite activities, behavioral quirks, anxieties/triggers, and how they typically do when their owners are away. With my background as a former emergency veterinary technician, I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and pets with medical needs, so I appreciate knowing about any health concerns, mobility issues, allergies, or special instructions ahead of time. The more I know about your pet beforehand, the easier it is to help them feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day is always tailored to your pet’s normal routine and comfort level. I know how important consistency is for animals, especially seniors or pets who may be anxious while their owners are away. For active pets, that may include walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of attention throughout the day. For more relaxed or senior pets, I’m just as happy to provide a calm environment with cuddles, companionship, and gentle interaction at their pace. Because I work remotely, I’m able to spend a lot of quality time with the pets I care for and provide regular potty breaks, feedings, medications if needed, and plenty of supervision. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and as stress-free as possible while you’re away.

Former Vet Tech, Home All Day

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover — I grew up with dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, rats, lizards, and fish, and that love of animals led me to earn my Associate of Applied Science in Veterinary Technology and spend 10 years as an emergency vet tech. That background means I bring a level of care most sitters can't offer: • Comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, including subQ fluids • Experienced with anxious, elderly, and special-needs pets • Trained to recognize early signs of distress or illness • Calm and capable in unexpected situations I also work from home full time, so your pet gets a constant companion instead of long stretches alone — feedings, walks, and meds happen on schedule, not whenever someone swings by. I've built a consistent system I use with every client: a detailed meet-and-greet to learn your pet's routine, daily photo/video updates (I send 2-3 per day), and a final update when you're back so you know exactly how everything went. Whether your pet needs medical attention, extra patience, or just a lot of love, I'll treat them like my own. I can't wait to meet your furry family member!

Amber did an amazing job watching our Ollie. She kept us updated and provided plenty of photos and videos. She also did a wonderful job at leaving our home in great shape upon our return. Overall, our pup seemed like he had a good time and was very well taken care of. Couldn’t recommend Amber enough for anyone who needs a pet sitter :)
