Happy Pet Lover & Retired Banker!
Pet care experience
I've had dogs and cats all my life and love animals. More pets make me happy! I'm a retired banker on the east side of Sequim and live on property near the John Wayne Marina. I’ve done pet sitting and house sitting for many friends over the years as the animal lover in my office. I enjoy meeting new people and their pets. Rover keeps me busy with a good deal of flexibility. I was a customer of Rover when I lived in Seattle and loved it. I'm friendly and outgoing and grew up in Springfield, Illinois. My senior chihuahua mix named Ray has decided he no longer likes dogs in his house so I’ve stopped daycare & boarding. Ray does get along with other chihuahuas and some senior small dogs who don’t try to play with him. Sometimes I do make exceptions and activate daycare or boarding services if the guest is the right fit I usually send Ellie to my partner in Seattle for the stay. My cat Olivia has dual citizenship with my partner in Seattle so she goes back and forth between Sequim and Seattle. She stays clear of dog guests and sometimes needs Rover care in Sequim when I travel with the dogs. Please do take the time to complete your list of pets and their care details in your pet’s profile. This info can be critical in the future. When identifying your cats, please list them all individually, not all names on one line. Each cat has their own litter box that I’m scooping. I’d like to think this service is worth the additional cat fee that I charge. When I'm helping with drop -in visit clients for traveling clients, I'll bring in your mail, put out/take in trash cans, fill bird feeders and water plants. I'm happy to help with whatever can be done in the time frame that I'm there. I’m reluctant to water interior plants or utilize a “hose on the bathroom sink to water outside deck plants” that may increase the general risk of damage to your home. I’ll try my best to fulfill your requests. A bad experience has forced me to explain my personal thoughts regarding animal cruelty. Please don’t ask me to help if you trap your cats in a bathroom when you leave. I will not participate in what I consider animal cruelty as the cats never want to go back into the tiny space.
Reviews
Amy is terrific! Highly recommended.
Amazing as always!
Amy is reliable and attentive to my kitties.
Amy took our dog on walks around our neighborhood and kept us informed. She also was able to accommodate adding days, when our trip was extended.

Safety, trust & environment
I treat a client’s home with great care. I take off my shoes at the door and engage with your pets as if they were my own.
Information Amy C. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog have any food allergies? Does your dog like other dogs? How often does your dog like to go outside? How long of a walk can your dog enjoy? How often does your dog eat & any details on their meal routine. I allow dogs on my furniture, if you don't want me to allow that, please let me know. Small dogs are allowed to sleep on the bed but typically, it's best for the dog to sleep on their bed beside me with Ray on the floor. Please bring a bed for your dog, they always do better with their own bed. I'm familiar with cats with diabetes as I had a diabetic cat named Pausha who had to receive injections several times a day. I am not afraid of using syringe for pet care. Most of my dog guests receive daily medications and I set phone alarms if timing is critical.
A typical day
I have 2.5 acre property and I walk my dogs daily on their leashes on the property and up the private road. Dogs enjoy running around in my private fenced lawn area with Ray. I always stay outside with them and every dog gets leashed for safety when we leave the gates of the fenced area.
