Pet care experience

Your Pet Deserves the Best🐶😺

I've taken care of dogs & cats my whole life. 30 + years. I currently have a 8 yr old Scottish terrier who gets lots of walks, love, attention & exercise daily. Family & Friends always rely on me to take care of their fur babies! I also actively volunteer at the Animal Protective Foundation and participate in events to help shelter animals. I am on the LOWER SIDE OF COST, simply because I enjoy caring for dogs & cats. I don't think it should be that EXPENSIVE! I have been in the same boat before with my fur baby with needing care from a stranger. Your dog or cat will be well taken care of and loved in my hands ! I have repeat clients that can attest to my high level of care for their pets on here and another networking pet care source. I have lots of flexibility for times & can always make a special accommodation unless I am physically unable to. If my calendar has me unavailable you can always send a request and I can work to make an adjustment! Last minute requests can be accommodated as well, I understand things come up ! Please reach out for any time or day and I can make an accommodation . Thanksgiving week is full however you can message me and I can try and make a special accommodation if times are flexible. Looking forward to hearing from pet owners & meeting your pets 🙏🐶😺💕

Amy is excellent at what she does. She sends tons of pictures and updates while pet sitting which gave me such peace of mind while away. If she had any questions for me she didn’t hesitate to ask me, and checked in a lot. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind and responsible to care for your pet.

Amy did a wonderful job with our shy boy. She went nice and slow to make him as comfortable as possible. She was extremely thorough making sure he got everything he needed and then some. She walked him, fed him, gave him his medicine and then walked him again. She sent lots of pictures and a very detailed description of her visit which I greatly appreciate. I would feel comfortable watching him any time.

This was my first time leaving my boys for a vacation and Amy was great with communication and calming my nerves. She went above and beyond and did a few extra tasks I didn't even ask of her. I will definitely be recommending her services to friends and family, and I'd be more than happy to leave my boys in her care for future vacations!

Schedule

My schedule is flexible for dog & cat care visits, rain or shine ! I am on the lower side of cost simply because I enjoy caring for dogs and don't think it should be that expensive. I have been in the same boat with my fur baby before. I can come morning & late afternoon/ evening during the week. I can of course make time adjustments to accommodate your Pet's need. Weekends I have more open time availability. I like to make sure a pet gets a well timed lengthy walk & exercise, with lots of attention for any other needs during their drop in visit.
