My schedule is ~flexible~ and that's the way I like it 😊 I work remotely, so as long as I have internet, I'm good to go! I typically work from home or from coffee shops (if you have any local recommendations, let me know) and my routine can adjust to your pet's needs. I also work part-time at a local winery, typically Thursday-Saturday. These shifts are around 6 hours, so if your pet can stay alone during this time, wonderful! If not, let me know and I can make arrangements to accommodate.

Safety, trust & environment

I aim to maintain the routine that loving owners have determined is best for their pets, whether that's crating when away, going on a walk before dinner, or co-sleeping in the bed. I believe pets are wonderful judges of character; often approaching them with openness and a caring heart is enough to get on their good side. Feel free to specify any special requests or daily routines and I'll do my best to fulfill them just as you would (and as I do with my own pets).

Information Amelia F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I'd need to keep in mind. If you have multiple pets, how do they typically interact? As far as behavior, is there anything unusual I should watch out for (anxiety triggers, health symptoms, social behavior, etc.)? What are some things that make your pet happy? A favorite toy? A yummy snack? A favorite belly rub spot? What can I do to make sure your pet feels safe and loved?

A typical day

I'm an adventurer myself, so it's fun if I can bring the pets I watch along for my new discoveries. Whether it's exploring your neighborhood or a new park nearby, I'm always ready to have fun. Some pets are more chill and like a more lazy—er, relaxed—approach ? My elderly pets are this way. For these pets, sticking to a routine is key, along with lots of cuddle time!

Pet care experience

As a pet owner and world traveler, I know the hardest part about traveling is having to leave them at home. As a pet sitter, I'll give you peace of mind to go on your adventures while knowing your furriest family member is safe and cared for. With over 10 years of experience in pet-sitting and house-sitting, there is little I haven't seen: -Elderly pet? I have a 21-year-old cat named Rubie and a 13-year-old dog named Chloe who get all the gentle cuddles and added care they could ask for. -Puppy love? I fostered puppies with Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter, training them and getting them used to social situations. -Medical needs? I've administered medication orally, topically, and via injection for both dogs and cats. -Special diet? Let's just say I'm very familiar with the smell of prescription wet food 😅 -Ball of energy? I love walks and am a semi-professional fetch thrower (although my frisbee skills could use a little practice) 😉 Since I was a teenager, I've watched pets for friends and family and grew a small business watching pets and homes through personal testimonials and referrals. I've even gotten to travel while house-sitting in Texas, California, New York, and Spain! Animals are one of the best things in life, and I would love to care for your pets as if they were my own. I hope you'll give me the honor of hanging out with your pets! Please contact me with any questions you might have and I would be happy to reply with an answer.

Amelia is a wonderful sitter! Her family was so involved and willing to help that we felt confident that our pets were getting great care. Amelia was patient, kind, and so loving to our kitties and our dog. It's obvious that she and her family are animal lovers. We would be thrilled to have Amelia watch our kiddos again in the future, we could not recommend her more!

Amelia and her wonderful family took amazing care of our dogs while we were out of town for a week. She definitely took care of them like they were her own, and they loved it there. Couldn’t have asked for a better or more caring pet sitter. She’s the best!

Amelia was reliable, showed up as expected, sent pictures as requested. Mainly, she was loving to our dog. We were confident that our dog was very well taken care of for the week. We very highly recommend Amelia!
