Human and dogs seek adventure pals!

Pet care experience

I'm looking to take dogs on adventures on the weekends. Want to go to Sandy River Delta? Want to go to the coast? What about hiking in Mount Hood? Adventure and physical activity are vital to a dog's health. My dogs would love to bring a friend along for our weekend trips. I petsit in my spare time because I love it and I believe that dogs need mental and physical stimulation in their lives. I save the money in a special account for future vet bills, so this isn't my full time job. I work in research, but spend most of my free time out exploring the world with my dogs. We go on adventures every weekend, long walks every evening, and hiking or adventures on long summer days. I am able to watch fully house trained well behaved or crate trained dogs in my home most nights. Because I live in an apartment I am unable to host pups who are very sensitive to noise and bark more than average. I prefer to watch one dog at a time, but will accept two from the same family. I have a senior cat so canine visitors need to be cat friendly. I am a former vet tech and have a great deal of experience and passion for dogs. I am able to give medications, including injections. I can also brush teeth and take care of other special needs. I have two dogs and a cat at home. I take my dogs hiking, to the beach, or some other kind of adventure most days and my dogs would love it if we could bring a friend a long. I have experience and comfort working with many behavior issues, including anxious dogs. Your pet will be treated like a family member while they stay with me. My pets are very friendly to other dogs and people. They are pampered pets who are allowed on the furniture and are fed a raw food diet so I am able to handle any kind of doggy diet. Their favorite local park to play is the Thousand Acre Park (Sandy River Delta) and Oaks Bottom. If they could choose to go anywhere, it would definitely be the coast. They love being off leash at the coast or the Thousand Acre Dog Park, but we understand that some friends are safer on a leash. We will only watch one dog at a time so you can be sure that he or she will get all of our love and attention.

This was our first trip using Amy and she was AMAZING! She was very communicative and sent a TON of pictures. Most importantly, she and her two dogs are really active, so our dog Layla jag a lot of fun - she was clearly comfortable with Amy and her new pack (cat included) by the time we got back. Also, did I mention that Amy used to be a vet tech? I highly recommend her, and we will be using her again!

I've known Amy for many years, and have asked her to watch my cats on numerous occasions. She has been a wonderful pet sitter and is highly attentive and knowledgeable about feline needs. I've also seen her with her own animals, and her care giving is truly exemplary. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a responsible and dotting sitter.

Amy truly is the most amazing pet owner, friend and companion. I know a lot of people that adore animals but Amy goes way beyond that. Her patience, knowledge from research and passion for animals is second to none. I have seen many animals drawn to her because I think they feel her love for animals. Amy is caring, smart and extremely kind. She wanted to be a Veterinarian since she was a child. The expense and difficulty getting in due to the small number of Vet Programs changed her plan but she spreads her love of animals to her own and any that she comes in contact with. If we were in the same state I would have Amy watch my animals any time.

There is no one I would trust more with my pets than Amy! You can feel safe leaving your dogs with Amy, as she is the most loving and nurturing dog mama, and will spoil your dogs rotten!
