Highlights
Pet care experience
Calm, supportive, loving influence
Growing up, our family dog was given to me for my 7th birthday and she was my sole responsibility. She was Scottish Terrier/Poodle mix we adopted from the Dumb Friends League in Denver Colorado. She was only 4 months old so I was completely responsible for potty training her, daily walks and daily food and fresh water throughout her long, healthy, nearly 15 years of life. More recently, I have lived closer to my family, both of whom have had shelter dogs (silky terrier, schnauzer/terrier mix) and cats. I have often taken care of them during weekends and vacations. I have taken care of my sister's senior cats which both required insulin shots and other oral medication daily. My sister is also a highly-rated Rover caretaker and I often visit the animals in her care to play, walk and love on. For her regular clients, I have stepped in for overnight stays when she was not available; dogs included golden retreiver, fox hound and lab mixes. When I adopted my rescue, Duchess, we attended Beginner Band Camp dog training at Bark-n-Roll in Reading, to bond and learn/reinforce all her basic commands. I am strong advocate of their style of training which emphasizes positive reinforcement and support.

Safety, trust & environment
For daycare and overnight stays in my home, I would prefer small to medium dogs (less than 30 pounds) as my house is not very big. I have a calm and gentle cockapoo rescue named Duchess, to keep your fur baby company. If we are staying overnight at your house, I'd need to be able to take Duchess with me. She is calm, potty-trained, well-behaved and rarely barks. I live on 1/2 an acre that backs up to conservation land which I'm happy to let your pups roam on. There is a small grassy area (12 x 15') off the patio that is fenced and when the weather is nice they can sunbathe on the porch and come and go through the patio door as they please. Loafing is allowed on all surfaces, as well as snuggling in designated beds or my bed at night if preferred. ;-) On the rare occasion of an errand, I can either take your pup along or leave at home, but never more than an hour.
Ratings and reviews
Amberlee is one of the most hardworking and conscientious people I know. When she commits to something, she determinedly follows through, no matter what it takes or how long it takes! Moreover, she is an authentic person who not only follows her own moral compass but her heart. You can trust Amberlee, not only with your pets but also to do the right thing to the best of her ability. She has always been a bright ray of sunshine in my life, radiating calmness and joy to me and all those around her. Family pets, her own pets, and others’ pets adore her. I am confident Amberlee will be a valuable asset both personally and professionally to her clients at Rover!

Schedule
I work from home and after 20+ years in software development, I am currently starting my own business. To balance all this work on the computer, Duchess (my rescue dog) and I make sure to go outside for potty breaks, sniff adventures and roaming around the conservation land at the back of our house every couple of hours. We faithfully hop in the car to our nearest park or trail for walks every other day in all types of weather.
