Pet care experience
Dogs are the greatest animals on earth. Spending time with dogs, my own and others, is the highlight of my day. I love walking them, playing with them, and getting to know each one's unique personality. They can always cheer me up when I'm feeling down--and I'm sure your dog does the same for you. I became a pet sitter because I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and can't wait to meet yours. Why should you choose me? You and your dog will love my experience. I worked as a humane educator at an animal shelter for many years and have the knowledge and experience to keep your four-legged bestie safe and happy. I specialize in dog behavior and am great at reading and responding to dog body language. I've also lived with and cared for dogs my entire life. I love all dogs, and am qualified to care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and needs. I have experience caring for big and small dogs alike, from Yorkshire Terriers to English Mastiffs. My own canine companions Shikibu and Luna have given me extensive experience dealing with all manner of difficult dog behavior, such as reactivity, leash pulling, hyperactivity, and separation anxiety. I have several years of professional experience working with dogs as both a dog walker and animal shelter employee. I'm certified in CPR and First Aid, and experienced in administering pet medications. I have a flexible schedule, including full weekend availability, and would love to spend my free time taking excellent care of your doggy companion! I'll take great care of your dog when you're away, but you're also my client and I'll also take care of you. Customer service is incredibly important to me, and I know how hard it is to leave your pet behind. You can expect lots of updates during the stay, so you can see exactly what Fido and I are up to during the day. Please reach out to me to set up a meet and greet. I can't wait to meet you and your dog.
Reviews
Absolutely wonderful! My fur babies love when Amina comes to visit!
My two little boys love their Amina! Wonderful job watching them while we were away for the weekend and during the work day. Thank you for keeping them happy and walked!
Amina was wonderful. Our puppies were well taken care of and got lots of love and attention. She kept in touch with us regularly. I highly recommend her!
Amina is so reliable and the dogs love her!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is always my number one priority when I’m with your dog. My experience working at the shelter has taught me to be prepared for every possibility, and the expertise to handle any unexpected situation that may arise. Making sure your pup is comfortable and happy is also very important to me. With every walk, I make sure your pup gets fresh air and the exercise and enrichment that they need. I also make sure they have plenty of fresh water before I leave.
Information Amina C. would like to know about your pet
I want to know as much as possible about your pet so I can provide them with the best care. Please let me know about their health issues, behavioral quirks, favorite things to do and anything I can do to make them comfortable. I'd also like to know what your specific expectations are for the walk/visit.
A typical day
I love walking around all the local parks and exploring the outdoors with my dog! We regularly go to all the parks in our neighborhood, and venture to others nearby too. I'd love to share these parks with my doggy clients. I also know a wide array of fun, enriching games and activities that dogs love that will help them expend both physical and mental energy.
