Highlights
Pet care experience
Passion for dogs & vet experience
I'm a University of Waterloo grad student who has owned and cared for dogs, cats, and horses all my life. I have handled Chihuahuas to Cane Corsos, and am also comfortable with multiple dogs at once (I once took care of a household of 6 for a month!). I have participated in classes from puppy obedience to clicker-training and more advanced commands, and also have experience with various behavioural issues, such as separation anxiety, food aggression and dominance issues. I have also worked for both small and large animal veterinary clinics in the past, and so am comfortable with basic animal first aid and giving medications. I am comfortable with whatever level of exercise your dog requires, whether that be long walks and trips to the park, or a simple walk around the block. As I have been a caretaker of dogs and other animals for many years, I am observant and quick to notice any changes in regular behaviour that may be cause for concern. Overall, I am someone who enjoys the company of all dogs, and am looking forward to meeting some new canine friends!

Safety, trust & environment
I ask for any necessary details in terms of your pets routine, food, medication, and general habits. I will always follow your regular routine as closely as possible to minimize stress on your pets. I am quite attentive to animal behaviour and am quick to notice changes in demeanour. I ask that you leave emergency contact info, as well as your vets contact info in case of an emergency.
Ratings and reviews
Amelia helped us out rather last minute and really seemed to connect with our two dogs. She was able to accommodate our unusual work schedule and she ensured that our dogs were well cared for. We will definitely be working with Amelia again in the future!
Amelia communicates really well, is punctual, and follows my special requests perfectly. Thanks Amelia!
Amelia has cared for our animals (dogs, cats and horses) on many occasions. Now that she has moved to Ottawa, I know the animals miss her. She is trustworthy, kind and always gives individual attention to our pets. As she worked in a vet clinic, she knows when to contact owners if she sees a concern. Any dog would be lucky to have her as a walker.

Schedule
I’m a grad student with in-person class 3 days a week. I am quite flexible with walk times and durations. When I am at school, it is for 4-5 hours, and I have family members who are always available to drop by for bathroom breaks while I’m away, if necessary
Prices include all fees.
