Pet care experience

Lover of tail wags and dog jogs!

Decades of experience with dogs! I had my first dog for 18 yrs until she passed, then a lab/pit mix rescue until she passed, and have doggie-sat and loved more puppers than I can recall off the top of my head! I have watched all sizes of dogs, from little lap dogs up to Danes and Pyrennes. I am happy to give daily exercise, and provide photos and daily updates, if requested, so that you know your fur-babies are being loved! I am based in Roanoke, VA, Morganton, NC, and Asheville, NC. For longer house-stays and sitting, I am available for surrounding areas: ex: Burnsville, Old Fort, Waynesville, etc, and along the I-40 corridor from Asheville to Morganton/Valdese. Contact me :)

Amelia was wonderful. She took great care of our dog in our home, kept us updated, and shared pictures throughout the stay. Sam looked happy and content, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Amelia and would gladly book with her again!

Amelia was fantastic! She took such great care of our two fur babies and even sent me photos during our trip. It was a real comfort knowing she was there loving them. When we got home she didn't leave a trace and even changed the sheets on the bed for us. Highly recommend her services. Thank you so much!!

This was my second time I had the pleasure of contracting with Amelia. She did a great job with Juney, and the house as well. I can highly reccomend her.

This was first booking with Amelia, and could not have asked for any better care of Juney and our home. Will definitely look forward to future bookings with her.

Yes, please keep me informed on special needs and behaviors. I prefer to not co-sleep with pets, as it tends to disrupt my sleep cycle, definite preference is given to animals that are able to sleep independently without fussing. I am ok administering pills or medication in food or peanut butter, but am not comfortable administering oral syringes or dermal shots to other people's animals. I can no longer accept bookings with indoor cats.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
