Availability
I am a homebody, with the exception of my children's various sports. I work-from-home, and have ample opportunity to spend time with your pet(s). On an average day, I wake at 7am, I homeschool the kids, take a walk, relax, cook dinner, and then head out to one of the children’s extracurriculars for about two hours. However, on days I am hosting a pet, I often allocate others to take my kids to activities. If I go out for lunch or shopping, I will not leave an animal unattended for more than 2 hours under my care.

I am happy to follow your lead with how you’d prefer me to care for your pet. I have had families prefer their dog sleep at the foot of my bed, and other families have said they prefer their pet to roam or be crated overnight. Every family is different and I will honor all of your preferences. Nothing is trivial when it comes to your sweet pets. I have a fenced in backyard, but even so, I insist on monitoring dogs by accompanying them outdoors. If I am pet-sitting at your place, the same concept applies: I will do whatever makes you most comfortable.

Information Amy D. would like to know about your pet
I am not knowledgeable with formerly-aggressive (rehabbed) dogs , nor puppies under 6 months. I’m also inexperienced with special needs dogs. If you’re in a bind, I am capable, but I just want to be transparent. If there is anything you would tell a new vet about your pet, that is what I prefer you tell me. I want to know anything important so that I can truly provide the best possible, loving care.
A typical day
I enjoy quality time, such as playing, engaging with their favorite activities, running around the backyard, and going for walks as needed. Some pets prefer space, while others want to join me on the couch. Again, I am open to your preferences, but I treat your pet as I would want my own treated!

Pet care experience
I am a work-from-home, homeschool mom, that happens to love animals! In fact, I’m a mother to an aspiring young vet! I have fostered in the past, and that is always a rewarding experience which has taught me a lot about various breeds. Additionally, I’ve hosted pets in my home for family members, neighbors, and many from our church. But, I’ve just recently learned about Rover! I (Amy) will be the sole caretaker of your pet, though my own family will be here and my boys would love to play and cuddle your pets if that’s what your furry loved ones enjoy. I’m accustomed to walking dogs, and can administer medicine if that is a concern. I have never had a problem with my cat’s demeanor, however, if your pet is uncomfortable I have plans for her to rotate through the children’s rooms and basement to maintain space if necessary while your pet (or pets) is here. I have been a pet sitter off and on for over 30 years. With all of that being said, I do not have much experience with puppies under 6 months.

Reviews
Amy and her family are amazing with our boy kitty Jade. He was recently diagnosed with a stress disorder but with her updates we knew he was as happy and relaxed as could be. He’s so loved and well cared for by them that we know he’s in the safest hands he could be while we’re away. ❤️
Amy was hospitable, accommodating, and quick to communicate. My kitty loved her staycation and I know she was well-loved!
Amy and her family provided a wonderful home away for Opal this week. Amy was a fantastic communicator, kept us updated on Opal through pictures and prompt replies, and just an amazing provider.
Amy and her family were great. Our dog appeared to enjoy her stay with them. I will utilize Amy again.
