Outdoor enthusiast and dog lover!
Pet care experience
With over 20 years of experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and reptiles, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a genuine passion for providing exceptional pet care. While I don't currently own any pets, I find immense satisfaction in taking care of and spending time with other people's beloved animals. My last three pets were all giant breed dogs, and I hold cherished memories of each of them close to my heart. I have a special affinity for giant breed dogs, but my experience extends to dogs of all sizes and ages. Each pet is unique, and I understand the importance of tailored care to meet individual needs. Whether your furry friend requires a leisurely stroll, a big hike, or just some quality playtime, I'm here to ensure they stay exercised, safe, and happy. I understand that every pet is unique, and I tailor my services to meet your dog's specific needs. Your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities. The great outdoors has always been my playground, and I can't wait to share the joy of nature with your furry companion. Hikes and long walks are not just great exercise for the body but also a fantastic opportunity for your dog to use their favorite sense, smell! I believe in providing enriching experiences for your pet. I genuinely enjoy the company of dogs and am looking forward to meeting and caring for yours! Feel free to reach out, and let's discuss how I can provide the best care for your pet.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust, and creating a secure environment are paramount in my pet-sitting approach. When I enter your home to care for your pet, I prioritize their well-being and comfort above all else. Some of the ways I achieve this are: I take the time to understand your pet's unique needs, routines, and preferences. By maintaining their familiar schedule and surroundings, I minimize stress and ensure they feel secure in their own home. I understand the importance of trust in a pet-sitter relationship. I am not only experienced but also dedicated to earning your trust. I treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect, and pay attention to specific instructions you provide. I am well-versed in handling unexpected situations. I familiarize myself with the location of essential items such as any pet medications, emergency contact numbers, and veterinary information. Your pet's health and safety are my top priorities. I promise to maintain open and transparent communication with you. I provide regular updates, including photos and messages, so you can stay connected with your pet's well-being even when you're apart. Lastly, I ensure your home stays clean and tidy during my visits. I clean up after myself, and your pet, and maintain a hygienic environment to keep both your pet and your home in excellent condition.

Information Amy G. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I am able to administrator oral and injected medications if needed.
A typical day
I love to stimulate your dog physically and mentally. A typical day often begins with a morning walk, allowing your dog to stretch their legs, explore the neighborhood, and indulge in their favorite pastime: sniffing out interesting scents! I affectionately call these walks "sniff-aris," where your dog can engage their senses and enjoy the outdoors. For the balls of energy, I love going on long hikes (I always ensure the hike is tailored to their individual fitness level). Back home, our activities continue with engaging enrichment games. I love stimulating your pet's mind with interactive puzzles, treat-dispensing toys, and brain-teasing challenges. These games not only provide mental stimulation but also enhance their problem-solving skills and keep them entertained throughout the day. I'd love to help if your pet enjoys learning new tricks or needs reinforcement in their training. Whether it's mastering basic commands, practicing leash manners, or even more advanced tricks, I'm here to support their training journey. Positive reinforcement and patience are key in my training philosophy. In addition to physical and mental activities, ample cuddle time and affection are always on the agenda. I believe in creating a bond built on trust and love, ensuring your pet feels safe and cherished in my care. If you have any specific activities in mind or if your pet has favorite games, feel free to let me know. I'm here to make sure your pet's day is nothing short of amazing!

I'm currently a remote full-time student and a part-time massage therapist. My husband works nights, and when I do work, it is during the day. I am home a lot of the time studying for school. Between my husband and I, we can offer your pet frequent potty breaks and lots of walks when housesitting!
