Safety, trust & environment

I have 2 cats and I take care of them by feeding them wet food 2 times a day and dry food throughout the day and I also scoop their litter boxes and play with them. I’m very respectful of clients homes and respect the rules they have in place for their home because everyone’s care for their pets and homes are different.

Information Amelia M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has behavior issues or needs medication so I can properly care for them and prepare myself for the first few meets. I don’t have a breed preference because it’s about how you raise the dog or how the person before you raised it which has nothing to do with the breed of the dog.

A typical day

A typical day with me and your pet would be: If it’s a dog then a medium-long walk depending on his/hers needs. Playing with them if there is a yard where I can or a local dog park. If it’s a cat I’d stimulate them by playing with them and I’d make sure to give them some pets.

Pet care experience

I’ve done dog walking and drop in visits in the past working with dogs, small critters, and cats. I have about 2 years of experience with dog walking and drop in visits and haven’t had any complaints that I know of from the pet owners that I was working with. I understand the body language of both dogs and cats and I’m able to respect the pets boundaries and know how to access a situation. I also used to work at the animal shelter for a bit!

Amelia has always had a special way with animals. She's a responsible and compassionate college student who’s spent years caring for a variety of pets — from dogs and cats to smaller companions like rats and guinea pigs. She has a passion for animal behavior and is pursuing a degree in wildlife biology. She’s dependable, patient, and truly enjoys making sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and experienced to care for your pets, I can’t recommend her enough.
