Love 'em like my own!

Pet care experience

I grew up taking care of my Irish Setter Cody and met the love of my life on a sidewalk in south Dallas when I rescued my sweet lil Pit Lucy in high school! Although I couldn't bring them to college with me, I volunteered in college as a Rufftail Runner at the Austin Pets Alive shelter. Thus, I've had extensive experience handling and loving on dogs of all sizes and backgrounds. My home is in Mt. Pleasant, a dog-friendly neighborhood with Rock Creek Park as my backyard. I make regular trips to outdoor spaces with friendly, exuberant dogs, and I have fostered dogs for several weeks at a time. I honestly just love staying active, playing, and tending to any and every dog and their individual needs--they're an extension of my own heart!

Amila was an amazing sitter for my dog, Poppy. Poppy can be a bit wild and stubborn, but Amila was so accommodating and caring. Poppy had a blast and came home exhausted! Would highly recommend!

Amila took great care of Isabelle, is very thoughtful and is a good communicator. Will definitely book with her again!

Amila was great with my year old German Shepherd! She made sure to keep me updated throughout and even stayed for a bit longer after the walk to play with her and burn off some of her limitless energy! Will definitely use her in the future for any and all dog walking needs.

Amila was so sweet with our dog, Otto! He's typically pretty indifferent but he seemed to get very attached to Amila in the 4 days he stayed with her :) She sent updates with pics and took him on outings- it was so great to know he was in good hands while my husband and I were away!

Information Amila L. would like to know about your pet

Whenever possible, I like to have an initial meet and greet with owners and the pet I’ll be watching over, so we can make sure the fit is right beforehand. This is also a great opportunity to show and explain to me your approaches and preferences for taking care of your pet!

A typical day

You'll find us cuddling on the couch of my home, checking out a couple of secret dog-friendly spots I know around the city, and brunching around any place that will take us! We'll also be playing fetch, jogging and generally adventure-ing around Rock Creek Park, or really any other green space that catches our eye! For any pups who might be less inclined to get outside, I fully respect their right to veg out and have no trouble following suit ;-)
