Pet care experience
🌴🐾Small Paws Retreat 🐾🌴
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.

Ratings and reviews
this is my second time working with Amy and she did an amazing job with Rosie! She followed all my care instructions and always remained in good communication throughout our entire stay! Rosie came back to me calm and happy:) definitely recommend
Really great experience! She was able to take care of my poodle last minute. She sent dozens of pictures and took him on a lot of walks. He came back pooped and happy!
Amy was amazing! She took care of Cappuccino for 4 days while I was out of town, and I couldn’t have been happier with her. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Cappuccino was happy and being well taken care of. She also went above and beyond by helping me with an emergency drop-in visit for my cats while I was away. I really appreciated her being willing to help on short notice—it took a huge weight off my shoulders. Amy was reliable, attentive, caring, and great with all of my pets. I would absolutely trust her with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter! 🐾❤️
Took tons of pictures and videos. Was really nice about late pick up. Provide great updates and really took care of my precious little puppy dog!! Thanks again for the wonderful experience, will book again!!
Excellent care, great with updates, timely communication and consistency, always reliable, we love her and so does Taylor!!!
I’m honestly so incredibly grateful I found Amy to care for my baby. ❤️ Leaving your dog with someone is never easy, but Amy gave me so much peace of mind from the very beginning. She was incredibly loving, patient, attentive, and thoughtful with my Chihuahua, and I could genuinely tell that she cared about her and wanted her to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. The pictures and updates meant more to me than I can explain. Being away from my baby was hard, but getting to see her happy little face throughout her stay made such a difference. I never felt out of the loop, and I always knew how she was doing. It was obvious she was getting plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. Amy truly goes above and beyond, and I never felt like my dog was just another booking to her. She treated my girl like she was her own, and that level of care is priceless to me. She is absolutely worth the money, and even the round-trip pickup fee was completely worth it because of the convenience, reliability, and peace of mind she provided. I appreciate Amy more than she probably realizes. I came home knowing my baby had been happy, safe, spoiled, and genuinely loved. I would trust her with my dog again without hesitation and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their fur baby with the same love and care they would themselves. Thank you, Amy, for taking such amazing care of my girl! 🥹💕🐾

Schedule
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.

Home characteristics
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. 🐶💛
Pets
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. ❤️🐾
