Genuine & in it for the long haul

Pet care experience

I’m not just a pet sitter. I’m a cool pet sitter! For as long as I can remember, animals have been the center of my world, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I started my veterinary career as a receptionist, but after expressing interest in assisting the veterinarian I became a vet tech and I have never looked back. For 6 years I sat on the board of directors of a nationwide dog rescue. I volunteered my spare time to rescuing a specific breed and during that time I fostered over 100 dogs of all ages & temperaments. I gained training knowledge & experience that I was able to incorporate into my daily job as a vet tech, while my work as a tech earned me the title of Medical Director for the rescue. I oversaw the intake vetting for all dogs as well as taking on a multitude of other responsibilities on a daily basis. My position with the rescue took me all over the country, and last year I decided to take a break from rescue in order to be home with my own dogs on a more regular basis. I believe that my job as a tech and my experience with a multitude of different dog personalities makes my pet sitting services unique, as well as what I can offer you & your fur-kid/s. My goal is to give pet parents the one thing I needed while I worked out of town - reassurance. Reassurance that their pet/s were safe, happy, and well taken care of. I am not looking to get rich, nor to be so busy I have to turn people away, I am simply looking for the occasional “gig” to give me my fur-baby fix and make a few extra bucks to spoil my own fur-kids with. * I am happy to provide an end of stay spa package including a bath, nail trim/file, ear cleaning, anal gland expression & bandana for an additional charge.

Ami is fantastic! She took such good care of my fur baby, and went above and beyond by considering the ordeals that my pet has been through lately, and the feelings that my dog might be experiencing. Ami will always be my first choice as a pet sittler! Thank you Ami!

I adopted a puppy from Ami’s rescue & we have stayed in contact ever since. Ami truly loves & cares for every single dog that enters her home, when my dog visits he gets so excited!! She treats him likes he’s family & we couldn’t be happier that we have someone we trust who will watch him at a moments notice!! Her dogs are so friendly & love having him over to play.

Safety, trust & environment

-Boarding in my home would be welcomed, but it’s important that we are clear on a few things. Although I do own my own dogs, due to the amount of foster dogs that have come in & out of the house in the past I find it less stressful for my own pack to stay separate from any guests. We do have 2 guest rooms set up as indoor kennels, a very large fenced in yard and more than enough toys/treats/food/games/snuggles that would make any pets stay lovely, but I would like to discuss our set up & give full transparency on the day to day routine of our beautiful chaos 🫶🏽 -House sitting- my husband is very much present in our home, so my temporary absence wouldn’t be a problem, and honestly anything else needed I’m happy to discuss. You feed your dog a home cooked meal? Great, I love to cook. You need me to make sure there’s coffee creamer in your fridge to make that late night flight a bit easier the next morning? Sure thing - just let me know what flavor you like. I’m happy to stop by as many times needed, for playtime in the yard, or walks in the neighborhood, or even just a fly-by for a quick snuggle. You tell me! Each stay will end with a “daily report card” - my notes on your pet’s eating, drinking & bathroom activities, as well as any other pertinent info.

Information Ami O. would like to know about your pet

Medical info - are vaccines current? Food allergies? Behavior - dog reactive? Not a fan of the Amazon guy? It doesn’t take long to get to know an animal, but anything you can tell me to make your pet more comfortable would be wonderful. *Any dog under my care must have a current Rabies vaccine & be able to show proof when asked.

A typical day

Fun activities will differ with each stay & be tailored for your own pet’s specific needs. Mental stimulation is wonderful for pets of all ages, snuffle mats, lick-mats, scent games, you name it; I’ve done it. Walks around the neighborhood aren’t just for potty breaks either - we like to stop & smell the roses as sniffing is super important!
