Safety, trust & environment

In caring for pets, whether in my own home or at a client's place, I prioritize their well-being and comfort. I ensure there's a familiar and safe environment by setting up their favorite toys, cozy bedding, and a designated feeding area. Regular exercise and playtime are vital, so I create a schedule that aligns well with their routine and take into consideration any physical limitations. If I'm at a client's house, I follow their instructions closely, including any specific dietary requirements or medication. I will ensure consistent feeding times are met. I also provide regular updates to owners, keeping them informed about their pet's activities and overall mood. Whether at my place or theirs, it's all about creating a nurturing atmosphere where your dog feels loved and cared for.

Information Amy A. would like to know about your pet

For ANY service I offer, PLEASE READ below and message me with any important information regarding your furry companion! By knowing these details, you can provide your dog or cat with a comfortable and safe environment that closely aligns with their regular routine and needs! 1. **Feeding Routine**: What and when does your dog/cat eat? Are there any dietary restrictions or allergies? 2. **Medications**: Are there any medications your dog or cat needs to take, and if so, what's the dosage and schedule? 3. **Health Issues**: Does your dog or cat have any known health issues or specific medical needs? What's the contact information for your vet? 4. **Exercise Requirements**: What's your dog's typical exercise routine? How often and for how long does your dog need to be walked? 5. **Behavior and Training**: Are there any specific commands or behaviours your dog responds to? Any training techniques to be aware of? 6. **Comfort and Habits**: Does your dog or cat have a favorite toy, bed, or blanket? Any specific habits or routines your dog or cat follows? 7. **Socialization**: How does your dog interact with other dogs, animals, and people? Any situations to avoid? 8. **Emergency Contacts**: Who should be contacted in case of an emergency or if you cannot be reached? 9. **Daily Schedule**: What's your dog's usual daily routine? When does your dog usually go to sleep and wake up? 10. **Anxiety or Fears**: Are there any specific triggers that might cause anxiety or fear in your dog? 11. **Emergency Plan**: What's the plan if your dog or cat were to escape or get lost?

A typical day

Here are some examples of what you can expect when I take your dog for a walk or babysit! 1. **Fetch**: A classic game of fetch with a ball, frisbee, or toy can provide hours of entertainment for your dog. 2. **Hide and Seek**: Hiding treats or toys around the house and encourage your dog to find them. It engages their sense of smell and provides mental stimulation. 3. **Training Sessions**: Spending time teaching your dog new tricks or reinforcing basic commands. Positive reinforcement training can be both fun and educational. 4. **Nature Walks**: Exploring hidden pathways with your dog on a walk in a park or nature trails. While walking, your dog will be able to explore new scents and sights while getting exercise. 5’. **Water Play**: If your dog enjoys water, I can set up a kiddie pool or a sprinkler for them to splash around in. 6. **Chew Toys and Puzzle Feeders**: If allowed, I will be entertaining your dog with chew toys and puzzle feeders that keep them mentally engaged and entertained. 7. **Cuddle and Relaxation Time**: Sometimes, just spending quality cuddle time with your dog while watching a movie or reading a book can be a wonderful bonding experience. Remember that the activities you choose should align with your dog's energy level, preferences, and any physical limitations they may have. Always prioritize their safety and enjoyment.

Pet care experience

In a sea of dog walkers, my approach stands out like a loyal pup in a crowd. Reliability is my cornerstone – rain or shine, your furry companion(s) can count on me to be there, leash in hand and a smile on my face! My passion for dogs infuses into every walk, turning routine strolls into exhilarating adventures. From punctuality to attentive care, I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they return home with wagging tails. Now that I am established within my community, neighbours have relied on me to walk, feed and occasionally board their companion(s). If requested, I can provide photos of your fury friend throughout our journey. In addition, I can provide status updates as we embark on our journey that day!

Amy is wonderful. You can tell she’s a true animal lover and I think that adds a level of trust with you that she will be caring with your fur baby/s. She is super friendly and responsive and a bonus is a fun personality. I would definitely recommend her and use her in the future when needed. Thanks Amy! Never had a worry.

Amy took care of our dog Jasper when we were away for a weekend. Amy was very attentive and took him on many walks with her dog, and made sure to follow his food needs and ask about any allergies. She had great communication and sent many pictures and updates throughout the weekend. It is obvious how much she cares about her own pets, and she extended that same care to our dog. I would trust Amy again with Jasper!

For over 20 years, Amy has had a wealth of experience with pet hamsters, guinea pigs, and now, a cat and a dog. All of these animals have had the utmost love, care and respect; I've witnessed it first hand. Amy has the trustworthiness, passion and dependability required for client confidence.
