Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving care for your precious pets!
I've lovingly taken care of puppies and dogs continuously for more than two decades. Let me help put your mind and heart at ease like a trusted family friend. I have years of experience walking dogs, pet sitting, and training both new puppies and adult dogs with exclusively positive training techniques. I also have experience taking care of cats (kittens, adults, and senior cats) as well as senior and sick dogs. Family members, friends and co-workers have all entrusted me with care for their sweet pets, both at their homes, out on walks and adventures, and at my Johns Island home that has a 1/3 acre fenced yard. My current companions are a shy and sweet two-year-old pitty mix and an incredibly mischievous and outgoing eight-month-old pitty/staffy mix. I'm skilled in new puppy care, house/potty training, teaching basic commands, crate training, and thorough puppy socialization using (among other techniques) methods recommended by Kerry Nichols in her fabulous book, "Puppy Brain". I'm experienced in administering medications for cats and dogs that need them, as well as gentle exercise for senior dogs. I'm available for daily walks, exercise adventures to parks and beaches, and puppy/dog/ cat sitting at your home — for clients on Johns Island, Kiawah, Seabrook, and the Riverland Terrace neighborhood of James Island. In my previous professional life, I have been a nonprofit executive for twenty years, and decided to take an extended sabbatical. I'm using this time to spend more time in nature and with friends and family.

Safety, trust & environment
I love taking your pups for walks around the neighborhood or your local park. I also take great care (as much as possible) to stick to your pets established routine if that’s what they need. Do they usually walk early in the morning? That’s what we’ll do! Do they usually play catch or fetch in the afternoon? Let’s go! Does your cat get a treat before bed? They will get their treat. I know how stressful it can be on you and them when you can’t be there yourself.
Ratings and reviews
Amy was great! She sent update photos and Bulleit was very happy to spend the weekend with her! She left the house spotless. Already have her lined up for my next trip and looking forward to it!
Amy was wonderful! She took care of our dog, cat, and home while we were away for nearly three weeks, and we felt completely comfortable knowing everything was in her hands. She was incredibly dependable, thorough, and took great care of both of our pets. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. We came home to happy pets and a well-cared-for house. We would absolutely recommend Amy and will definitely book with her again!
Amy did a fantastic job taking care of my pup. She was responsive and thoughtful. My dog is very comfortable with Amy. She also helped with a last minute request.
Amy does an amazing job with Penny. She is very reliable and always sends pictures to let me know my sweet fur baby is doing great. Highly recommend her!
We love working with Amy! She takes such good care of our Murphy when we go on vacation. She’s a super professional dog sitter and house sitter - anyone would be lucky to work with her. Thank you again Amy!!
Amy was wonderful! She took time to get to know us with a walking meet and greet. She was timely in her communication sending photos of our fur babies. She was very prompt with text messages and updates. She stayed in our home and left everything clean and tidy. I will definitely use her again!

Schedule
I'm currently free most days for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the work week and on weekends. You can always let me know in your booking note that your plans aren’t fully solidified or that you are exploring your options. That’s understandable and fine—just don’t ghost!
