Your Pets Pal!!

Pet care experience

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.

Amy was super nice and so very helpful with our pets! She went above and beyond to keep our critters safe and happy while we were away. She and her husband even went out and repaired a garden hose that busted so we wouldn't have water running the whole time we were gone. Will definitely look for her for our future pet sitting needs! Thanks, Amy!

I am not accepting pets in my home at this time. I do not have the space and my senior dog does better without other dogs around, she likes her space and not other new friends around! I want to respect the needs of my own fur babies :)

Information Amy A. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the age of the dog, its likes and dislikes, does your dog take a while to warm up to people,and is there a certain diet that they are on.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog It takes about a total of 20-45 minutes - once I fill water bowl with fresh water, and refresh food, and let them out to go to the bathroom-the amount of time I spend beyond that is on a case by case basis. For instance, if I am with an energetic dog, she is going to want to play fetch and chase, and may want lots of affection from me. If it is an older dog, he/she may want to go on a short walk and then be petted and talked to. I can sense what the need is and I give them what they want or need. Animal are a lot like people- you just got to tune in to what they are "speaking" to you. Whatever the family wants, just let me know! Extra house-sitting services I am certainly more than happy to help with these kind of tasks. I can water houseplants and feed fish too.
