Quality care and playtime!
Pet care experience
I’ve been told that I have a special connection with animals all throughout my life. While I’m waiting for the right opportunity to welcome a dog into my own life, I am very grateful for the trust others offer me to take care of their own pets. Whether you have a dog, cat, or other animal - I would love to meet you and your pet to see if we’re a good fit to work together!
 I'm a good choice for animals who love to walk/hike, cuddle, and get lots of belly rubs. I've worked with dogs of all ages and sizes, shy/anxious dogs, as well as high drive dogs. I’m familiar with training techniques and would be happy to support you and your pet with any training that you’re currently working on. I am a patient and compassionate individual and do my best to ensure that each animal feels calm, safe, loved, and happy while in my care. I am also certified in canine first aid training.
Reviews
Amy was so wonderful and took amazing pictures :) I would definitely recommend and use her services again :) Thank you Amy!
Amy was wonderful to work with. She did a great job with our two dogs and our home. I would definitely recommend her!
Amy watched our two kitties and our home for 2 weeks over the Christmas holiday while we were out of town. Our cats both loved her, she send videos and photos everyday keeping us updated which made us feel so happy. The cats were always curled up cuddling with her- they don’t just warm up to everyone! Our home was very clean when we got home. Amy is responsive, and responsible and we will definitely be hiring her again in the future. Thank you, Amy!
Amy took such wonderful care of my boys! I felt so safe and secure knowing that she was checking on them and tending to their needs. I loved the photos and videos she sent me of my boys each morning. Thank you Amy!

While I'm with your pet(s) they are my top priority. I prefer to work with animals one household at a time, meaning that I won't be taking your dog out with a group of other, unfamiliar, animals.
Information Amy B. would like to know about your pet
In order to ensure I can provide the best care and support the more information you can provide, the better! Important things for me to know will depend on the types of visits and care required but will include some of the following: - Current obedience level - Temperament (reactive, high drive, low energy, etc) - Any behaviour issues or training actively being worked on - On or off leash - General quirks to be aware of - Medications or special care instructions
A typical day
DOG WALKS: I offer both on and off leash walks! I'm an avid walker and hiker. I would love to take your dog out to burn some energy and enjoy the outdoors whether around the neighbourhood or on the local trails. I own a vehicle and am able to drive to local trails if needed. ANIMAL SITTING: Your pet(s) will get tons of play and cuddle time - guaranteed. During dog-sits I typically walk a minimum of 1hr/day. During my visits, your pet will receive the full menu - cuddles, playtime and walks all in one service. PET VISITS: After taking care of the essentials (water, food, potty-breaks, etc.), I’ll spend some additional time playing with your pet and giving them attention. I'm a great tug-of-war playmate and ball/frisbee thrower! I love taking photos and will be sure to send updates at each visit that will include a recap and photos/videos of my time with your pet(s)!

Availability
I'm available for walks or drop-in visits for scheduled playtimes almost anytime, any day! While I primarily work with animals, I also work remotely for a fitness tech company which allows me a very flexible work schedule.
