Pet Lover & Dog Walker

Pet care experience

I love animals, especially dogs and cats. I’ve raised 6 dogs and 4 cats of my own. My current fur family is now three cats and a young labradoodle, all well socialized with dogs of all ages and they love it when we have boarding guests. My own animal companions are very dear family to me and your buddy/buddies will be treated like family when a guest here, too. Whether boarding here or I visit your home to see them, they will get excellent care and tons of affection. At my home dog guests have free run of half the house and the fenced backyard. I mostly work out of my home and have plenty of time and love to share. I do my best to offer your pup(s) the same rules you have for them at your home. In the past I encountered challenges finding trustworthy affordable quality care for my own pets, so I now visit and board pets for others offering the same loving care I want for mine. In addition, I have experience with seniors dogs and cats and I have fostered for rescue groups. I absolutely love to pet sit and meet new furry friends. All new clients receive a no cost meet & greet visit with me prior to the booking being confirmed so that we can all decide in advance if it will be a good fit for all and discuss details. If you have any questions feel free to reach out. Thank you! *Confirmed bookings take precedence over pending bookings, I cannot hold spots. My advice is to book early, especially for holidays. **Large breed dogs or any pup whose size/needs/temperament requiring something extra may be charged more. DROP-INS: Cats & Dogs, Fish, Other caged pets — I offer feeding, filling water bowls, scooping litter, brushing, playtime, watering plants, bringing in mail, lights on/off to make home appear occupied, thermostat adjustments. If it’s not on this list then feel free to ask. This is typically a 30 minute visit. DOG WALKING: this is a separate service from drop-in visits. They are 30 minute appointments, most of which is spent walking in your local neighborhood weather permitting and can include a quick meal and watering. In bad weather the walk may be shortened depending on the dog and indoor activity can be added. If you’re interested in your dog getting out to walk in other places like the dog park, a hike in the woods or a swim in local rivers/lakes then please message me to consult. DOG BOARDING: In a cozy home with a loving sitter. One day of boarding is 24hr. If boarding exceeds 24hr limit then I will adjust the pricing by adding a day of daycare or other reasonable amount appropriate for the situation. -Walks are an additional charge $10+ per walk, price depends on distance and how easily your pup walks on leash. In the absence of walks, your pup is likely to get a good bit of activity playing with my dog and we have daily yard activity and regularly implement stimulation games/toys. -Bring enough food plus an additional 2 days in case of travel delays. -Discuss with me if a crate is needed because I have a few. -Generally I accept one dog at a time, however I will accept multiple dogs from the same family. At my discretion, I will occasionally accept dogs from separate families if all the dogs are known to me and I have good reason to feel confident that they will get along well. -Your dog’s comfort and happiness while staying here is of utmost importance to me.

Amy is the best! We’ve hired Amy multiple times, and we trust her fully with our little zoo. Amy is reliable, very caring, and has gone above and beyond to ensure our pets have everything they need.

Amy was amazing. This was our first time using Rover and the first time leaving our puppy anywhere. We loved the fact that Amy set up a meet and greet our puppy could get to know her and her place. She took great care of our dog. She sent a couple pictures every day and told us a little on what their day was like. She was awesome.

Amy took great care of my two older cats, who both have some issues! She was able to get them to warm up to her and provided me with much appreciated updates and photos.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home I have a fully fenced back yard, a furry dog friendly home, plus a sweet 50lb labradoodle and some cats to keep your pup company. In your home, I’m respectful of the property and the trust placed in me to provide walks, feeding and other typical pet care. No matter what your property will be treated with respect and your animal companions will be looked out for like I’d want for my own beloved pets.

Information Amy H. would like to know about your pet

Feeding routine, potty routine, familiar commands, crate trained? Likes, dislikes, anything important for me to know to keep them happy and safe. Does your dog get along with cats? Young dogs? I have 3 cats and a 50lb younger dog who are all well socialized with other dogs. Your dog must be get along peacefully with all of them to board here.

A typical day

Dogs boarding here can enjoy a great walking neighborhood, hang out on the deck with fully fenced backyard, play at the park at end of block, plenty of balls and frisbees at my place for fetching, we have indoor games for bad weather days, listen to music, snuggle on the couch for tv or movies. Sometimes there are even homemade treats!
