Pet care experience
Amy, trained for 15 years by Zeus
I am a dog lover and former dog mom who has recently lost my beloved boy Zeus after 15 wonderful years together. I adopted Zeus as a wild, very furry, stubborn, 1 year old super-mutt from the King County Animal Shelter in 2009. He won me over with his smile and positive attitude and I was willing to take the training courses to learn to be a good pet owner to this happy guy. Over the years, Zeus and I fostered dozens of other dogs through the Seattle Animal Shelter and private rescues. For Zeus, I bought a fully fenced 1000 sq ft yard in north Ballard for dogs to run around or lounge in the sun. The house is 100% dog friendly with dogs allowed on the furniture and bed. A house is too quiet without a dog and Zeus would want other dogs to get to enjoy his spacious yard. I am semi-retired so I don't work outside the house...just the occasional conference call for one of the non profits I work with. I am home all day to play with the dogs in the yard or take walks. The dogs never go more than a couple hours without a potty break. Inside I have baby gates available if any dog needs their own quiet space. I am home all day when I pet sit, so the dogs are always supervised. If I do need to go out briefly, I make sure my dog and our visiting dog have their own private space with a bed, food, and water and I am not gone for long.

Ratings and reviews
Penny has the best time with Amy on their walks!
Amy was an amazing sitter for our dog, Sophie! Sophie had a fantastic time staying at Amy’s house — she got tons of love and playtime in the large backyard and especially enjoyed sitting by the huge picture window to watch people and dogs go by. Amy sent us daily updates and photos, which made it clear Sophie was having the best time. It felt like a true vacation for Sophie as well as for us. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter!
Amazing as always! My pups had an amazing time and one of my pups had diarrhea and Amy made him chicken and rice and was very communicative throughout the stay. Would recommend to anyone :)
Amy is phenomenal with our girl. Luna is thrilled the moment we park outside, and spends the whole time alternating between playtime and lounging. I’m never worried about her, and always know that she’s having her very own vacation while we’re gone ✨ Amy has my trust forever!
Amy is Rubi’s favorite!! Amy goes above and beyond to give our pup love, attention and joy. She is the only one we trust with our baby Rubi!
Outstanding, gave my pup really nice long walks and took her to her own yard to play off leash.

Schedule
I am semi-retired, so pet care is at the top of my agenda when dogs are in my home. Daily walks keep all the beings in the house happy.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My house is 100% dog friendly. Dogs are allowed on the couch and the bed. I have baby gates that can be set up if a dog needs a safe quiet place where they can still keep on eye on everything going on.
A typical day
A typical day would be letting the dogs into the yard when we first wake up and then making the dogs breakfast. After my morning coffee, we like to take a walk through the neighborhood and get our steps in. I don't typically take visiting dogs to the dog park for safety reasons. But my yard is like a private park where we can play fetch or the dogs lay in the grass on the sun. We get another walk in later afternoon. In the evening, dogs usually get belly rubs on the couch.
