I worked at a veterinary hospital for 6 years while obtaining my masters degree. The office specialized in medical care for all breeds, boarding, grooming and daycare. Prior to that I was working as an assistant manager at a pet hotel in NYC. Just this past year I had my son and transitioned to a stay at home mom, with tons of time to dedicate to my favorite passion, animal care !

I have a very large fenced yard that borders on the forest. It is extremely scenic and there is a ton of room for running around and getting those zoomies out, or relaxing under a beautiful tree in the shade. Indoors you have the option of having your pet be free roaming, or to request they stay in their own private space in either one of my two guest bedrooms. Tons of toys, bedding and love provided, all I request is you bring their own food so they stay on their regular feeding routine.

Pet care experience

I was always the child who brought a stray animal home or found an injured animal that needed attention. As I grew older I had almost every pet in the book and oh how I loved caring for them all. As soon as I was old enough I volunteered at my local animal shelter and then obtained a job as an assistant manager at a pet hotel in NYC. I got to learn the ins and outs of providing a safe , FUN and trustworthy experience for both clients and their beloved fur children. After that I decided to see the other side of animal care, the medical side ! I worked at a veterinary hospital for 6 years that specialized in daycare, boarding, grooming but most of all health and rehabilitation. I gained experience working with all species, young , old, friendly, shy, spicy! I worked with those who needed medication, special diets and who had special routines. I have 5 rescue cats of my own as well as two rescue chihuahuas. I know how important it is to make animals feel comfortable while their owners are away, after all they are family ! I have been pet sitting privately for clients that used to come to the vet I worked at as well as those who contacted me through word of mouth. But as I have become a stay at home mom, I wanted to expand my services into my community! I can promise whether your pet is at my house, or I drop in or stay over your house, they will be treated like my own. I am an excellent communicator and will send tons of updates!

We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we dropped our dogs off, she made both us and our pets feel completely welcome and comfortable. She sent daily photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our dogs were receiving excellent care and having an amazing time. They got to meet and play with other dogs, and every photo and video showed how happy and relaxed they were. Our dogs struggles with separation anxiety, so seeing how at home and comfortable they seemed meant the world to us. Being able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pets was priceless. We knew they were safe, loved, and having just as much fun as we were. We are so grateful for the care and attention she gave them and would absolutely trust her with our dogs again. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Amber. She was terrific with our cockapoo Sadie. She sent pics, videos and texts. I would definitely have her watch Sadie again.
