Pet care experience
About this sitter: Hi! I'm Amber. I am 24 years old. I work at the ARC of St. Johns as an Behavior Assistant for the extended day program. I have four cats and a dog of my own. I have grown up around animals. I grew up being called the "Zoo Girl", you name it, I had birds, rabbits, fish, dogs, cats and lizards. Currently I have four cats and a dog of my own, Why I love dog/cat/pet sitting: I grew up around dogs and cannot imagine life without dogs. I have had an Pomeranian, an Lab mix, Pug, Lab, Saint Bernard, chihuahua and currently I live with the most adorable seven year old Pit Bull who does not think he is a dog. I walk my dogs daily. If not, Rex gets restless! I have given medication by mouth, ear drops and creams, and also in the ear. I have given baths to dogs who enjoy baths and dogs who HATE baths with a passion. I have also pet sit up to six dogs at once at my house. My current baby has separation anxiety and does not receive medication for it, but if your dog happens to have separation anxiety and requires medication, it will not be a problem for me. Meet my household pets! : I have two dogs and seven cats all together. I know I said I had four earlier, but in this house I live at, we have seven beautiful cats and two cute pups living here. They all get along as expected. The dogs are best buddies! Five of the cats are indoors only cats, meow! ;) The other two cats are much much older and have been indoor-outdoor cats their whole lives, they come in at night. It's a must! :) Purr-zzz. :) Our dogs sleep on our beds at night with us, on their beds during they day. Never our couches. *Whines*, I know! They are very spoiled and loved though! My experience administering medication: If I have questions about how to do it, I will be direct and ask you. I may only need to be shown once. You can show me as many times how to, until you feel confident with me. :)
Reviews
Amber is outstanding with our group. They love her and she live them, she updates us several times a day with PHOTo's and video's. She goes above and beyond. We love her .
Amber did an outstanding job with our crew. She email us every few hours and sent pictures and updates to us during her stay with them. I must say both my husband and I are impressed with her photography skills. She is amazing and I would highly recommend her..
I didn't think it was possible for our dogs to be this happy & relaxed upon our return from vacation but they were. Amber sent us texts and pictures while we were gone so we could see what was going on while we were away. I highly recommend her!
Amber lives for animals! She owns 4 cats and 1 dog. She is always making sure they are fed and loved daily. Amber loves walking Rex several times a day. They all are her love and each have the attention and care needed. She has a good vet that she uses if needed. What can I say? She is an absolute animal person!

Information Amber M. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how your dog behaves while walking, if s/he gets along with cats and other dogs. I want to know what your dog enjoys doing, what his/her comforts are and if your dog enjoys car rides / going out. I would need to know what scares your dog and what does s/he enjoy more than anything in the world so s/he will feel at ease being away from you.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks I often walk my own dog around my neighborhood, but I also love taking dogs for a walk on the beach or on the bridges by the beach. Great place to exercise dogs. Sometimes I may even take my own dog for an hike, if your dog enjoys walking as much as I do, I may take your dog along with me for the day. If that's okay with you. *I personally use gentle leader headcollar for my dog to prevent pulling on walks, I do not believe in the use of a muzzle. If you are in the middle of training your dog, or your dog has little to none training on a leash... Let me know ahead of time so I know what I will have on my walk. If you use any pulling preventive leash, collar, etc, let me know so I can use and do the same thing as you would with your dog at home. Your dog's sleeping arrangement I would prefer your dog to sleep in the same ideal position s/he sleeps in your home. If you use crates, bring that with your dog. If s/he has an security blanket, toy or bed s/he loves to sleep with at night, bring it. If your dog sleeps with you every night, please let me know how you feel about that, I wouldn't mind. Just communicate on what you prefer for your dogs' stay at this household. :) Time I'll spend with your dog As much as your pet needs. :)
