Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m a full-time special education teacher and pet mom who’s home for the summer—and I’d love to help you care for your furry family members! As someone who works with children every day (including my own two boys), I bring patience, reliability, and a calm presence to every walk and visit. I have years of experience caring for my own dogs and cats (including rescues and seniors), and I understand how much your pet means to you. I walk my own dog daily and would love to add a few new four-legged friends to our summer routine! What I Offer: 🐕 Dog Walking 🏡 Drop-in Visits (feeding, meds, potty breaks, playtime) 📆 Flexible Summer Schedule ❤️ Extra TLC for senior dogs or pets with special needs 🐾 Updates and photos every visit! Why Choose Me? ✔️ Experienced with dogs of all sizes ✔️ Background-checked teacher ✔️ Flexible hours and reliable communication ✔️ Will treat your pet like my own!

Amy is awesome! She’s always willing to come and help me out by letting May have a potty break while I’m working late hours. She’s is so good with May and has been super helpful each time she comes and always makes sure she has food, water, and plays with her! I will continue to trust her with May in the future.
