Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I recently graduated and am currently finishing my last 3 online prerequisites before applying to the RN program. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be home throughout the day with the pets in my care. I typically wake up around 5:30–6:00 AM to study, then start the day by getting the dogs on schedule for breakfast, potty breaks, walks, and outdoor time. I enjoy keeping dogs active, comfortable, and on a consistent routine throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, Trust & Environment I take pet safety very seriously, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours. At home, I make sure the environment is secure, clean, and comfortable, with plenty of space for play and rest. I supervise all interactions and make sure pets are never left unattended in unsafe areas. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines closely—from feeding and walks to playtime and bathroom breaks. I treat your home with the same respect I would my own, ensuring everything stays safe, clean, and organized. Because I work from home, I can provide attentive care throughout the day, and my healthcare experience helps me notice small changes in behavior or health. You can trust that your pet will be happy, safe, and loved under my care. 🐶💛

Information Amy C. would like to know about your pet

⭐️ Booking Changes & Cancellations For the safety and protection of everyone involved, all pets in my care must have an active Rover booking at all times. Active bookings help ensure that the stay is properly documented through Rover and provide access to the platform’s protections and support during your pet’s stay. If your travel plans change after your pet has been dropped off, I require your pet to be picked up before any cancellation or reservation changes are processed. Once your pet has been picked up, you may proceed with canceling or modifying your reservation through Rover. If you have any questions regarding my cancellation policy, I’m always happy to discuss them after the reservation has been processed. My goal is to keep the process professional, transparent, and centered on the safety and well-being of every pet in my care.🙂👍 ⭐️ Please bring your dog’s own crate at drop-off. I do not provide crates, and each boarding dog must have their own crate. Crates help prevent accidents while dogs are adjusting to a new environment, and they also provide a safe, quiet space where many dogs can decompress and feel secure if they’re feeling nervous or overwhelmed. My goal is to make each dog’s stay as safe, comfortable, and stress-free as possible while keeping a clean environment for all pets in my care. ⭐️Please also share any special needs, medications, or behavioral considerations your pet may have. I’m happy to accommodate when possible additional fees may apply depending on the level of care required. Thank you for considering me I look forward to hearing from you and your fur baby! 😊💕✨ Providing these details in advance ensures your pet’s safety, comfort, and a positive experience for everyone. ❤️🐾

A typical day

A typical day with me is full of fun, love, and plenty of tail wags! We’ll start with a nice morning walk, then stop for a Starbucks run (your pup gets a pup cup, of course!). Some days we’ll visit Petco to look at the fish or stroll through Lowe’s to check out the flowers. Your dog will tag along on errands, enjoy car rides with the windows down, and even join family visits. At the end of the day, we’ll curl up on the couch, watch movies, and listen to their favorite music. They’ll be treated like my very own. ❤️🐾

Pet care experience

At this time, I am currently only accepting SMALL BREEDS for boarding. Hi, I’m Amy! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. I share my home with my sweet (and spoiled!) 6-year old trained Rottweiler, Zara, who has taught me so much about understanding dog body language, and making pets feel safe, happy, and loved. What sets me apart is not only my genuine love for animals, but also my background in healthcare. Working in this field has made me reliable, detail oriented, patient, and attentive qualities that naturally carry over into pet care. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, noticing small behavior changes, or giving extra comfort and reassurance, I care for every pet like they’re my own. One thing I prioritize most is making sure dogs get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. We typically go on 3–5 walks a day, and I always make sure your dog gets their dose of sunshine, fresh air, sniffing time, and grass time. I love keeping dogs mentally and physically stimulated, not just cooped up indoors.🙂 Depending on the dog and owner preferences, we sometimes go on fun little outings too ⭐️ Starbucks 💚 pup cup runs, PetSmart trips, or even walks through Lowe’s when the weather is nice and the environment is pet-friendly. I truly enjoy making dogs feel included, engaged, and cared for. 🙂💖 When the weather doesn’t permit extended outdoor time, we switch to indoor enrichment and cozy downtime. We’ll spend time indoors playing fetch, relaxing, and watching movies together until the weather clears up, while still going outside for shorter potty walks and fresh air breaks as needed. I also prioritize structure and safety in my home environment. Zara has her own separate section of the house, and all dogs are kept on a consistent schedule for walks, potty breaks, meals, rest, and individual outside time. I do not introduce untrained dogs to Zara. If your dog is well-trained, calm, and socialized, playtime with Zara may be considered upon request and approval to ensure a safe and positive environment for everyone. 😊 Experience: • At this time, I am currently only accepting SMALL BREEDS for boarding. • Patient and gentle with senior pets, including slow walks, medications, and extra TLC. • Comfortable caring for special needs pets with unique diets, routines, or extra support needs. • Experienced in reading dog body language and adjusting care to each pet’s comfort level and personality. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, exercised, and at home while you’re away.
