Availability

Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I work from home during the week, so I'm home most of the day and have the flexibility to provide consistent care, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also care for my own two dogs every day, making sure they get the exercise, enrichment, and love they need.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and plenty of space to play. We also use baby gates to help separate spaces when needed, making it easier to keep pets comfortable and safely introduce them to new environments. Since we're currently raising a young dog ourselves, our home is already puppy-proofed, we don't leave out items that could be a hazard, and we're mindful about keeping the environment clean and safe for curious pets. I treat every pet like one of my own and make sure they receive lots of attention, exercise, affection, and regular updates for their owners.

Information Amelia S. would like to know about your pet

It is important to know if your fur baby has any special needs, health issues or allergies. Also it is good to know if they do not like certain things or if there is anything that makes them aggressive (ex. food aggression).

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I like to tailor activities to what each pet enjoys and what their owners are comfortable with. Whether it's neighborhood walks, playtime in the yard, interactive games, or simply spending quality time together, I'll make sure they're happy and engaged. If your pet is social and it's something you'd like, they can even enjoy supervised playtime with my friendly dogs. I also love making homemade dog treats and enrichment lick mats (with owner approval and any dietary restrictions in mind) to provide fun mental stimulation. My goal is to keep your pet active, entertained, and feeling right at home while you're away.

Safe, Loving Care While You're Away

Pet care experience

I've been caring for dogs for several years through both personal and professional experience. I worked at a dog kennel for two years, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. During that time, I handled daily feeding, exercise, cleaning, and administered oral medications, including pill medications, while making sure each dog received the individualized care they needed. In addition to my professional experience, I've raised my own puppy and currently have two dogs, so I understand the patience, consistency, and attention that pets need to feel comfortable and safe. I've also provided pet sitting for friends and family, treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter routine, I'm committed to providing reliable, compassionate care and keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

Amelia is absolutely fantastic with dogs. She has grown up with them in her household since a young age, worked at dog boarding facilities and has dog-sat countless times for a variety of dogs. She can handle dogs of all shapes, size, and ages and treats them as if they are her own. She would be a fantastic person to have on the Rover team!
