Availability
I'm currently retired and searching for part time employment. I don't mind early or late night visits since our dogs don't have a 9 to 5 schedule. I do have an active social and volunteering schedule but it's flexible enough to accommodate your needs.

About Amy H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have cared for many dogs who need to be crated or who are door dashers and escape artists. I have a calm energy that helps put pets at ease. I'm a fan of high value treats to make the crate a special place. My personal dogs are crate trained but I know that's not for everyone.
Home
Information Amy H. would like to know about your pet
Let me know what things your pet loves to do and what things scare them or they do not enjoy. If your pet needs any special care, please let me know. I do have a harness lead for walks if your dog is an escape artist.
A typical day
I often play fetch with my dogs and also chase if the dog enjoys that without aggression. I have treat filled puzzles for mental stimulation and love to give dogs time to explore on walks. We can also just chill and watch dog TV or cuddle.

Pet care experience
I've had my own pets since 1991. I had a rabbit and dog in college and have learned over the decades how to best care for our friends. I've just retired from a busy career, so I know how important it is to find someone to care for your animals when you're away; even if it's just the gym or happy hour after work. I've fostered for several area rescues and know folks have a different idea of appropriate care. I only use fear free methods, because our animals need to know they can trust us. I've had young high energy dogs who need play and long walks and I've cared for my dogs in their last years when they needed additional care or special medical needs including pills, dressings, eye drops and carrying older dogs who aren't as mobile anymore. I would love to get to know your pets and help you give them the best life.

Reviews
Amy is amazing. She is thoughtful and diligent, and I trust her completely with my pup. She’s goes above and beyond, making recommendation regarding food and training. And, in her free, time she fosters dogs and volunteers at a shelter.
Amy has been walking my dog regularly and is not only consistent but also reliable. I have peace of mind knowing my dog is being cared for while I am away. I truly appreciate Amy and highly recommend her!
Amy was wonderful with Comet for our last minute daycare appointment! Her two dogs were chill as well. We were greeted warmly and she was patient and understanding of Comet’s separation anxiety.
My dogs were fine when I got home and I believe they were taken care of - However I recommend setting strong boundaries with Amy if you plan to book with her. For example, be sure to confirm with Amy that there should not be other dogs in your home if she is coming into your home. My dogs are 15 lbs, older and don’t have many teeth and I came home to wooden blinds so damaged from what was clearly a large dog in my apartment that I had to replace and cover the cost of for $100. I am thankful the other dogs there did not do anything to my smaller dogs.
