Amelia can care for
Availability
I work Monday–Thursday from 10 am–3 pm, which gives me a very flexible schedule for walks, drop‑ins, and check‑ins throughout the day. I also get a lunch break in the middle of my shift, so I’m often able to stop by for midday visits. On weekends, I’m fully available and love helping out whenever families need extra support. I also have plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings, so I’m typically available for boarding or overnight stays any day of the week after 3 pm. My schedule makes it easy for me to give your pets consistent attention, care, and companionship.

About Amelia D.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and make sure they always have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I’m very mindful of doors, gates, and leashes to ensure no one slips out or gets into anything unsafe. In your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions exactly as you leave them — feeding schedules, medication routines, crate training, potty breaks, and any special rules you have. I send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. In my home, pets have a calm, loving environment with lots of supervision and structure. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, including those who need extra patience, medical attention, or a slower pace. Whether I’m staying overnight, dropping in, or taking your pup for a walk, I make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and completely at ease.
Information Amelia D. would like to know about your pet
I always want to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and understood, so any details you can share ahead of time are really helpful. Let me know about your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite activities, and any quirks or behaviors I should be aware of. I also like to know how they do on walks, how they react to other dogs or people, and whether they’re crate‑trained. If your pet has medical needs, allergies, or takes any medications, please share those instructions clearly so I can follow them exactly. I’m experienced with giving oral meds, topical treatments, and caring for pets who need a little extra attention. The more I know upfront, the better I can tailor my care to make your dog or cat feel completely at home.
A typical day
I love to keep your dog both mentally and physically stimulated throughout the day. We’ll start with a nice walk to explore all the new smells in my neighborhood, followed by playtime, enrichment games, or training exercises based on your dog’s needs. I live near a big park, so we’ll often head there for longer walks, sniff breaks, and plenty of outdoor fun. Throughout the day, I make sure your pup gets attention, affection, and a routine that feels familiar and comforting. Whether it’s fetch, tug‑of‑war, puzzle toys, or just relaxing together, I tailor every activity to your dog’s personality so they feel happy, engaged, and right at home.

Pet care experience
I’ve cared for dogs of every age, size, and personality since I was 10. I’m a lifelong dog owner and currently have three dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and families with walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, and overnight stays, and I’ve also fostered dogs through local shelters. I’m attentive to medical needs and experienced with giving oral medications, topical treatments, and following detailed care instructions from vets and owners. Whether it’s a high‑energy puppy, a senior who needs a gentler pace, or a dog who just needs extra patience and reassurance, I love making every pup feel safe, understood, and cared for like they’re my own.

Reviews
Amelia is a wonderful caregiver. She has lots of experience with dogs and animals and she has a very caring heart. She has three dogs of her own that she treats like her children and she would do the same for any other animal.
Amelia is an amazing dog walker! She is reliable, caring, and always goes above and beyond to make sure my dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s clear how much she genuinely loves animals, and my dog is always excited to see her. She is communicative, punctual, and gives me peace of mind knowing my pup is in such great hands. I highly recommend Amelia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!
Amelia was absolutely excellent at taking good and loving care of not just one, but two of our irish setters over the past few years !
Amelia is loyal, dependable and a wonderful person. She loves animals and is one of the best. I would use her all the time. I just can't say more than enough good things about her.
