animal lover - flexible schedule!

Pet care experience

I have been pet sitting for neighbors and friends since I was 15, and have had many of my own furry friends to take care of since I was little including dogs, cats, hamsters, ducks, bunnies and horses. I also have experience with similar apps on and off over the years since I was a teenager. I am very reliable, patient and friendly, so it is easy for me to get along with animals (as well as people) and I live a pretty active lifestyle so I can go for a run or walk, or just hang out and play with your critter- whatever they need! I live on a small farm in Clifton with my parents and boyfriend, as well as our 2 horses and 4 dogs (including my 5 year old chocolate Labradoodle, Molly) who we consider members of the family. In our household we are avid nature and animal lovers who do our best to live cohesively with our pets and wildlife, and we believe they deserve nothing but the best care and support. I believe that animals (like humans) need consistency in their care routines and positive reinforcement to maintain a happy, healthy behaviors. I love to play with and engage animals in any sort of enrichment activities possible, and am a big fan of interactive toys/games for my pooch personally. I’m also always happy to suggest and/or maintain basic training instructions and or care improvements (If they are welcomed by clients, of course) and if I see opportunities to do so. I’ve worked with a few dog trainers over the years to help build better relationships with our pups and although i’m no expert, i have picked up a trick or two here or there. If you have any other questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me and i’d love to see if we can figure out a win-win scenario to make sure your animals are happy, healthy and well loved while you are away!

Safety, trust & environment

Since I primarily offer dog walking and drop in visits, i'm happy to accommodate whatever routine will make your pet most comfortable and feel the most at home. Having their owner away is stressful enough, so i'd like to help them maintain their normal lifestyle as much as possible, meaning i'll gladly hang out, pet, and play with your pup as long as they need if they're more active and need more 1:1 attention, or i'm also happy just hanging out with them in your home/dropping in and making sure their food/bathroom etc. needs are met regularly if they're more timid or reserved/don't mind being left alone for a bit here and there. Just let me know how I can best support you!

Information Amber P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pet’s name, care instructions, favorite treat, favorite toys/games/activities, breed and general temperament. If you have any special care needs or if your animal has any triggers, dislikes or negative behaviors that would be helpful to be aware of. Anything I can do to better understand, support, and make them feel safe and well cared for is extremely valuable for me to know!

A typical day

Typically it’s nice to know ahead of time some of your pet’s favorite activities, toys and enrichment activities, however i’m always a big sucker for pet playtime, and belly or behind the ear scratches. I do love hiking, walks, and jogs, and depending on the energy levels and care needs of your animal i can accommodate really any level of exercise needs, I will gladly throw a frisbee or ball for hours while enjoying the outdoors, or I also happen to know of a lot of parks and trails all over that I visit regularly, and I do have quite a roomy minivan with seats that go all the way down in back for traveling with pet passengers if you’re open to that.

I’m currently looking for part-time opportunities to supplement my income as I’m building a remote health coaching business with my boyfriend. My schedule is pretty flexible, however I don’t prefer bookings before 10 am or overnight bookings where I need to sleep outside of my home as it’s hard on my pup for me to be away overnight. If you’re in a pinch on occasion or if you’re close by and need morning help, shoot me a message and I may be able to make an exception depending on the dates and how much advance notice i have.
