Animal Lover.All Things Big & Small.Fur or Scales!

Pet care experience

I have loved animals since I was 2 years old. I have had many species of pets and currently have 3 cats, 6 snakes, a ferret and a tortoise of my own. I have qualifications in horse care and have worked on stable yards and at riding schools. In the past I volunteered regularly at my local cats protection league and regularly look after my families cats and large breed dogs when they go away abroad. I am happy to take care of all animals, great and small and work hard to put your mind at ease whether you are away on holiday or simply at work and need your baby tending to, I will treat them like my own. I am happy to follow your routine to keep things as stress free and as normal as possible for your furry friends and can send you regular updates or wait until you are back to share what we have been up to. I have a keen eye for spotting behaviour changes and any issues that may arise quickly, and will do as required to ensure your pets are cared for as you yourself would care for them. I have rescued many animals, both wild and domesticated and have a gentle, caring and understanding approach towards all living things (one of those people who saves every spider and bug, to ensure it makes it back outside safely 😂) I once swam into the middle of a lake just to rescue a duckling stuck on fishing line, because it would have been too late to wait for help! So for all your fur babies who may be nervous, quirky or shy - I will strive to ensure they are comfortable, happy and enjoy our time together so that you can enjoy your time or focus on what you need to get done, without worrying about your 2,4 or even 0 legged friends 😊

Amy was great looking after our dogs, I think they have fallen in love with her, she was very caring, really good communication, we wouldn’t hesitate to have Amy look after our dogs in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone who wants their dogs to be safe and well looked after, thank you Amy

From the moment we received the first message from Amy I knew my girls would be in safe hands. Amy is a true animal lover and an absolute natural with dogs. As a first time Rover user I was apprehensive having never left our 2 girls with anyone except family, Amy put me at ease straight away and was genuinely interested in learning our girls routines so she should care for them exactly how they are cared for at home. Amy’s communication was exceptional, she asked us all the right questions and kept in touch right up to our booking date. I wouldn’t hesitate in using Amy’s services again, our 2 floofs clearly loved her and the icing on the cake were the pictures she had taken throughout the day, seeing them so happy and relaxed was a joy. We are planning on another trip to Amy’s home area next year and will definitely be calling on her doggy sitting services again. Very happy customers and very happy doggies x

Amy B is one of the most trustworthy and caring people you will ever meet, nobody will care for your animals as much as this women. When she took care of my cats for me they were groomed and fed, the litter trays were always clean and tidy and my house was exactly as I left it. Cannot stress how caring this lady is and would definitely use her again.

Information Amy B. would like to know about your pet

I am happy to cater for all dog breeds. I have cared for dogs requiring specialist feeding and oral/topical medication. Please let me know if you have any concerns/special requests regarding your dog, to allow me to care for them in the way you like and your dog is familiar with, to ensure they are happy and relaxed.

A typical day

I love to walk and have access to lots of lovely countryside, parks and dog friendly cafes from my home. I am happy to travel with your dogs further afield to enjoy the woodland and new exciting places for your dog. I am happy to take it slow and steady, with a short walk around the block to get the golden oldies out for a bit of fresh air. I am happy to continue basic training of puppies should you like, i.e sit, wait, come and lead training.
