Small dog lover!
Pet care experience
Please do not be alarmed, but I may have a bit of an obsession with Boston Terriers. Other than that, I don’t have any other vices. If you do have a Boston Terrier, I can’t guarantee his or her safety from my nonstop kisses and hugs. I guess I connect with them because I’m also spunky and friendly. Actually, I’m obsessed with every dog and I’ve had ample experience working with my parents’ dog and other dogs from an early age. I’m currently pursuing a PhD in Food Science at Ohio State University and have a ridiculously flexible schedule, and I would love nothing more than to help you care for your beloved pet while you are away. I’m around most days and evenings and have my summers free. Because of my availability and the fact that I live with my beautiful chiweenie dog Franklin (6), I can easily dogsit in my home. I have a fenced-in dog park close by, and there are great trails and paths nearby that we can explore. My whole life I have been an animal lover. I grew up meeting and taking care of dogs of every breed and size. My parent's dog is a Schnauzer/Yorkie, but I’ve also cared for German Shepherds, Beagles, Bulldogs, Chihuahuas, you name it. I love how much character, joy, and affection a pet brings to a family. I truly think the companionship a pet brings can help manage anxiety/depression while teaching one how to be compassionate, patient, and empathetic. Similarly, I also love to babysit, so if you have a baby-dog combo, I might be in heaven. My other passion is singing and trying out new restaurants and recipes––I guess you can say I’m a bit of a foodie. When I’m in charge of your dog’s care, s/he becomes my highest priority. I have many years of experience caring for young puppies to elderly/senior dogs. I’m comfortable administering oral medication and following a strict schedule, if that’s what your pup needs. I am home a lot due to my studies, but I also love to get outdoors as much as possible. I’ll make sure your pup gets more than just a couple of walks a day for bathroom breaks. I know dogs are at their best when they are completely exhausted from lots of running and playing. If your pup has physical limitations, of course I’ll adapt my service to care for them properly. I will treat your pup as my very own!!
Reviews
Amy was great! Was flexible to come pick up my dog as well as had amazing communication during Kingston's entire stay. Always sent updates in morning and pictures throughout the day. Made being out of town more enjoyable knowing Kingston was taken care of!
Amy did a fantastic job. She was able to also watch my dog with short notice. I was always updated on how my dog was doing with pictures. Will definitely use her again.
Amy was a fantastic dog sitter! I left Pam with her for Memorial Day weekend and she had the time of her life. Amy did a great job sending me pupdates about how Pam was doing throughout the weekend and making sure she was having fun. Overall Amy was an awesome dog sitter and Pam would love to stay with her again!
Amy was so great with my one year old border collie mix, Theo. She sent regular updates, and he had such a great time playing with Franklin. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times which was convenient for me. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a sitter or any sort of care.

The pets rule the roost. I allow them on furniture, my bed, and I make sure they’re always comfortable. Triggers are avoided and their regular schedule is followed.

Information Amy A. would like to know about your pet
I am constantly told that I am the most flexible and understanding caregiver. Last minute changes don't bother me, and if any emergency happens, I will gladly extend stays or deliver the pup back to your home. I know life happens. I am also really good at giving updates to owners if that is what they like through pictures, a short text, videos, or whatever they want. I'm looking to get my own dog, and I would relish the experience, exercise, and the unconditional love of your dog. I think a meet and greet is a great way to get acquainted and answer any questions about how to best care for your pup.
A typical day
I live in Columbus near Grandview High school. I have boarded many dogs before, so I have tons of toys to make your pup feel comfortable and happy. Also, I am very active and love going for runs and walks. Your dog won't just be sitting inside. Your dog will be loved. Downtown Grandview is a fun place to walk around and people/dog watch, so we’d definitely get down there.

I work a consistent day time schedule and make sure my dog gets lots of walks a day. It’ll be the same for your pup!
