Family care for your dog.

Pet care experience

We are a family of 5 who misses having a dog around, and we would love to care for your dog! Your dog will treated like one of our family and will be the center of attention. I work part time from home so your dog will have company throughout the day. Until a few years ago, we had a dog for 13 years and since then have cared for friend's and family's dogs....but it's not enough! We live in a large house with a fenced back yard, close to greenways and a nature preserve for walks. Three kids (ages 14-19) would love to play fetch, give bellyrubs, and provide lots of love and attention. About this sitter: My family and I would love to care for your dog in our house, or provide walks from your house. Why I love dog sitting My husband and I both grew up owning dogs, and rescued an abandoned german shepherd soon after we married. "Cookie" was our first kid and family dog for 13 years. Since she passed, we have watched family and friend's dogs whenever we could, but find we don't get to dog sit enough. Meet my pets No other pets at this time. About my yard Fenced in yard...it's not huge, but it's long enough to be good for fetch or running around. My experience administering medication Yes, oral or topical

My dogs seemed to have a wonderful time at Amy’s. They got plenty of love and exercise. I also really enjoyed the daily pictures and updates. I have already another stay booked with her!

We felt as ease knowing our pups were well taken care of. Amy sent lots of pics cuddling with our dog and pictures of them playing. We will definitely take them back.

I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Amy and her family while on a vacation for the first time. She sent updates and pictures and I could quickly tell that my boy was in good hands.

Information Amy B. would like to know about your pet

We prefer watching medium to large dogs, but would also care for small breeds (a few of our regulars are small). Extra-large is good too! Any breed is fine, including pitties. We of course would like to talk with you about your dog's typical routine, energy level, interest in play and walks, fondness for belly rubs, on-leash behavior, and any habits or needs that we could accommodate. We try to replicate your dog's routine as much as possible.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Our neighborhood has a wooded greenway loop about a mile long which is great for morning or daytime walks. For nighttime walks, the double cul de sac provides a well lit but little traffic loop of about 1/2 mile. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog can sleep on a dog bed (you provide or we will) on the floor of my room. Time I'll spend with your dog Some of us are are here most of the day, so other being out for driving kids places or a stop at the grocery store, someone will be with your dog. If we have a commitment that requires us to be out for more than a couple hours during your dog's stay, we'll discuss with you when it's best to take the dogs with us, leave them at our house, or if it's not the best time for us to watch them. In addition to just hanging out with your dog, we'll provide a few walks each day, and playtime in the yard and/or inside. Time I'll spend with your dog We can make 1-4 30 minute visits per day, depending on your dogs needs.
