Availability
I'm currently free most days (except Tuesdays through the end of May) for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the work week and on weekends. PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately, due to an increasing number of people who request bookings and then turn into ghosts (👻), I have to start permanently blocking people who do not respond to my messages after they reach out to me. It’s an absolute epidemic, sadly. 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!

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.
Information Amy C. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs, allergies, or food/toy preferences that I can account for. I'm happy to help with accommodations with advanced notice.
A typical day
After settling in, we'll go on a sniff safari around the neighborhood, through our local walking trails and out to the dock or play tug in the backyard. I love to play "find it" games and I also have puzzle treat games if it's a rainy day.

Pet care experience
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.

Reviews
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!
Amy is one of the best sitters we’ve ever had! She house sat for us and was very responsive and made sure our little guy was spoiled while we were gone. Thanks Amy!
Amy was a great, extremely friendly pet sitter for my senior dog. She left our house very clean and tidy. Would highly recommend her for any dog care needs!
Amy was so kind and we felt so comfortable having her with our fur babies!
