Information Amy G. would like to know about your pet

To ensure a happy, harmonious housemate dynamic for everyone, I warmly welcome all dog breeds provided they get along well with my senior beagle, Penelope. A mandatory meet-and-greet is required prior to your dog's stay to confirm they are a perfect match. Medical Experience: With my background and certifications, I am highly comfortable handling oral medications, supplements, and most general medical or senior care routines. Care Boundaries: Please note that I am unable to administer medical injections at this time.

A typical day

Your dog's unique needs fully guide our day. With a secure, fully fenced yard, your pup is free to safely move inside and out whenever they please. Active Pups: If your dog loves to play, we will enjoy dedicated playtime and fun yard games every day. Leash Lovers: For dogs who walk well on a leash, I love taking daily walks around the neighborhood. Couch Potatoes: If your dog prefers to snooze, I provide a peaceful, couch-friendly environment for uninterrupted napping. No matter their style, your pet will enjoy constant companionship and a routine tailored exactly to them.

Amy is a great, trustworthy person to have to take care of your furry best friend! She is very attentive and caring towards animals. She did great with my dog, and I would highly recommend her!!!

Amy has been taking care of our dog Cooper since he was a puppy, and he is always excited to see her. She is a caring and compassionate dog and bird owner that is knowledgeable about all aspects of a pets life. Her home is well equipped to care for any pets. Her yard is completely fenced in and a great place to run and play. I can highly recommend Amy for the care of your pet. She is amazing.

I entrusted my two, 60-something pound dogs to Amy, for over a week. I received daily updates with photos, which I did not expect. It was comforting knowing how my boys were doing every day. Amy is detail oriented, organized, and knows her dog care. The superb communication allowed me to unwind and enjoy my vacation. There isn’t a better care for my pups the universe can offer than at Amy’s!
