Hi, my name is Amy and I live in Lampasas, TX. I am getting back on Rover after a long absense. I had some personal challenges in where my husband was very ill- and a job change kept me unavailable. You will find that my service prices are flexible, and adjustable- not every Rover Sitter will let you know this or they are not aware. There are options on Rover to adjust cost- I want to be fair and believe each job is different. I price on distance, amount of pets, how long I am on the job. Our pets are important but they should not be a one size fits all cost to each client either. If you are please with my serve tips are appreciated! Though, not expected! Okay, moving on..if you want to know a little more about me, read on. When I care for someone's precious furbaby (ies) I make sure I follow all instructions given by pet owners. I ensure their babie(s) have plenty of water, hugs, pets, walking if needed, and play time. Its can be very stressful for some animals to be away from their family and I am sensitive to that. I also bring in mail, take out trash or put trash to curb on pick up days and water plants- at no extra charge. I have lots of experience taking care of families in many capacities. I have always had careers where I was in a caretaker role. I have been told numerous times that I give people a sense of peace when I am around them. People like that also have that effect on animals. I have had the opportunity to care for a variety of pets in my life thus far. Growing up my parents had a caymen, a ferrit, a pig, cats, and dogs of all shapes and sizes. I once begged my parents for a monkey and they almost bought me one! Whatever it is that fits your precious ones needs, I will follow your instructions with care. Your pet will feel loved and care for in your absense. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover for years! I was reading my baby book the other day and my mother wrote in there, as one of my first phrases was 'Bow wow". I am serious! I am one who believes that if you are going to be a pet owner, take the responsibilty. Some people think that dogs are just a dog. To me, they are like family. They are also heros. We see on a regular basis, heart warming stories where a dog has woke up its owners to warn them of a fire in their home. When I was a little girl I took off one day and went to a neighbors house. My mother was frantic looking all over for me and calling my name. Our dog , who looked like Benji- ran off to where I was and my mom followed. Our dog went to the house where I went to and waited on the steps at front door. I told my mom I was just coming over there to have a coke! Ha!ha! My experience administering medication yes, I have administered medicine to my own pets when they were under a vets care in the past, for injuries or illness. I also have experience administering meds to some dogs I have cared for.
