Professional House and Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

My clients often give me feedback that they are more relaxed knowing I am caring for their pets while they are out of town. As an experienced and trusted pet sitter I provide loving care to your pet while you are away. I am gentle, a problem solver if any arise, stay calm in a crisis and follow the guidelines that you provide me for your pets. I have taken care of lizards, tortoises, chickens, cats and dogs on pet sits. I love walking and can take your pet along with me if it fits into their exercise level. I am very experienced and patient with anxious pets. I have been sitting pets for 5 years now. I worked as an accountant until 2016 when I changed lifestyles to be more active. I love being around your pets since I don’t have any of my own at the present time.. My companion dog of 12 years died in 2020 and I am getting my need for pets satisfied by taking care of yours. Playing with animals by walking them through their commands, playing ball or their special toy brings joy to me. I primarily work in the South Bay Area however I do make exceptions if the sit is a good fit for me and the pet. Meet and greets are scheduled when you contact me. I accept the gig after we have met unless it is a last minute booking. If you need a second meet before the sit I charge $40 for each additional visit. I provide services for your home as well: bring in mail and packages, water plants as requested both indoor and out, take out garbage bins, clean up after myself with fresh linens on the bed when I leave. I also drive clients to/from the airport in their car by request. I have fed exed forgotten passports, reset breakers for a car being charged,and put away perishable deliveries. I do what it takes to help you have a sttess free vacation on my end.

Amy was sooo great! Super responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the whole stay. I really appreciated how she left the house—everything was how we left it, and she even washed and remade the bed, which was such a nice surprise to come home to. But most importantly, I felt like I could fully rely on her and knew our cats were safe and happy. I’ll definitely be booking her again for my next trip:)

Amy was an excellent pet and house sitter! She followed directions carefully, our pets love her, and the house was clean and tidy when we came home. Highly recommended!

Amy was easy to work with and particularly kind and tender with my geriatric Fifi.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat the pets like you do and learn what’s on their menu. You decide what you want for your pet and I will follow through based on your preferences with gentle loving care. I have experience with pets with anxiety and am calm and allow the pet to approach me when they are ready. I treat your home with care, bring in mail and packages, put out garbage and water plants if needed. My response time is typically within 5 minutes. I communicate ASAP if any issues arrive or I see behaviors that seem out of the ordinary.

Information Amy G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, their favorite places to walk and what to avoid on walks, behavioral issues, their safe spot if they get anxious, daily routine, etc.

A typical day

We walk 2-4 times a day based on the pet(s) needs to their favorite outdoor spots. I like letting dogs explore smells. I follow through on whatever training or rules you have for your pets. Introduce me to your pet(s) favorite toys and I will play with them or find new games to play that they enjoy. I also spend time cuddling your pet if that is what they like.
