Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Fur Baby Companion
Growing up, I was surrounded by pets of all shapes, sizes, and varieties: cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, fish, turtles, salamanders, electric blue lobsters, chicks, ducklings, and poults. My family rescued animals from the shelter and the street, and cared for them for months or years until we found them a loving permanent home. My early exposure to various animals and my interest in science lead me to volunteer at a veterinary clinic during the summers throughout my middle school years. While working remotely for the last four years, I've spent substantial time pet/house sitting for friends and family and completed over 50 five-star sits for members of the TrustedHousesitters (THS) community.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I love caring for pets in their own home because it is often the place that they are most at ease. In advance of the sit I will ask a variety of questions about your fur baby's usual habits, walk schedule, play routines, and more so that they are as comfortable as possible in your absence.
Ratings and reviews
I’ve known Amy for 10 years, starting as colleagues at Stanford, and we’ve been close friends ever since, including living together for a year. She is wonderfully trustworthy with pets—she previously stepped in to dog-sit for a colleague's Irish doodle, and more recently, she’s become the go-to cat sitter for my housemate’s 9-year-old rescue cat whenever she travels.
Amy was a great communicator! during our weekend away camping. I would trust her again with our two kitties. She was very thorough and kept the place tidy and clean.
Amy was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter! She has provided in-home care for my cats twice, and both experiences have been excellent. She was reliable, caring, communicative, and clearly treated my cats with so much love and attention. I always felt completely comfortable knowing my kitties were in good hands while I was away, which gave me great peace of mind. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!
Amy watched my cat Avalon for a few days while I was out of town. She was a great communicator both before and during the sit. I'm a new-ish cat dad, so I appreciated the many cute cat photos Amy sent me - it made me know things were okay at home. I also asked Amy for feedback on my pet instructions (again, new cat dad), and she provided a couple excellent suggestions. I’d definitely trust Amy with my pet again.
Amy was an excellent dogsitter who we’d happily host again! She took pops on lots of adventures (after checking with us) and sent a ton of photos of poppy out and about at the park and on hikes. She even washed poppy after a particular muddy excursion at the park. The house was neat and tidy when we returned and she had brought our mail in unprompted. Would recommend Amy to others as a responsive, responsible, and independent sitter!
