Stay-at-home, Certified Vet-Asst
Pet care experience
ABOUT ME :) : I'm a certified vet assistant, animal-behavior enthusiast, who works from home. I can accommodate low energy doggos. If your doggo would enjoy a taking their vacation in our one-story (easy on the knees!), mostly-carpeted house, then contact me for a meet and greet! I live close to the Emerald Isle bridge in a beautiful neighborhood with two roommates. I generally take one client at a time, but if your dog is comfortable with other dogs, they may get to stay with other dogs who are repeat clients of mine and I am familiar with. Before any stay, I always ask the permission of the other owners to make sure everyone is comfortable. :) The usual activity schedule is short walk & playtime in the morning, nap while I work beside them, time in the yard at lunch, nap while I work, and a playtime and a long walk in the evening, with chill evening TV time together. If you think this schedule will work well for your dog(s), please reach out! :) I have experience caring for my own animals since I was 7, and have been pet-sitting for various animals since I was 15. (In addition to dog and cat sitting, I also have experience with and offer care for many other species - chickens, guinea pigs, hermit crabs, turtles, you name it!) My dog had separation anxiety, so I understand the desire to make sure your pets will be in a patient and hands-on care situation. I am vet-assistant certified, and although I do not work in a vet office right now, I keep up with my continuing education. I am also interested in becoming a search-and-rescue canine handler, and so read a lot of material on animal behavior and training! I also volunteered, then worked at, an SPCA for several years and got to know a lot of different animals there. That experience has helped me understand much about animals and their diverse and amazing personalities. :) I use positive-reinforcement training with every dog in my care. ABOUT SPECIAL CONCERNS: I'm very comfortable giving medications, taking time to feed by hand if they're hesitant to eat, and socializing timid animals. I love hosting animals who may not enjoy the hectic pace of a daycare or being around large groups of dogs. I enjoy being able to provide the specialized attention that helps them feel safe. I'm familiar with encouraging dogs to take rests when they need - whether it's a hip that just goes wonky sometimes, a heart murmur, or recovering from surgery, let me know their boundaries, I'll be cautious that they get the exercise they need without going too hard on their bodies. :)
Reviews
Amber does so well with my pup 💗. She puts my mind at ease when I drop him off knowing that he is comfortable with her and receiving the best care.
Loves our puppy like we do
Amber did an amazing job with Lady! She provided constant communication and lots of pics. When Lady hurt herself a little, Amber communicated quickly and effectively, and we had a plan in place in case Lady didn't improve. (Turns out she was fine!) We will definitely utilize Amber's services in the future! Lady had a great time!
Amber is the tops. Truest cares for our puppy and takes pride in doing it right. .
