Cat mom and librarian!

Pet care experience

I've taken care of pets most of my life, starting when I was young with my own cats and dogs and moving onto pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and eventually Rover! I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I have experience with special needs animals and can help with your pets' medical care. My own senior cat is special needs and is on a specific routine with his medication and diet.

Another stellar review for Amelia from us! She does an excellent job taking care of our kitties and we appreciate how much time she spends with them. She is VERY detailed and writes the best Rover cards, and also takes the best photos!! We won't go to anyone else as the kitties love her now too :) thanks again!

This is the second time Amelia has watched my two cats. She always sends sweet and thorough reports of her visits. I think my kitties really like her too!

Amelia was so sweet to my cats. Even after cleaning up after one that threw up a couple times. Her daily reports were thorough and informative - I felt comfortable being away from home. I will certainly request Amelia again.

Safety, trust & environment

I follow the instructions of the pet parent as they know their pet the best! Just because something has worked on one pet before doesn't mean it would work again just because they're the same animal. Each animal has a different personality as well which plays into how to care for them best.

Information Amelia V. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any dietary needs or medication schedules, please let me know ahead of time. I am comfortable administering oral medication for cats and dogs and just ask for detailed instructions about their medications. Also, any major behavioral concerns you have, please let me know those beforehand as well so I don’t unintentionally cause harm.

A typical day

I love exercises that work the mind and body for both cats and dogs! Just like humans, they can get bored and underwhelmed, so a variety of toys, games, and exercises are key to a happy and healthy pet!
