Pet care experience
Hi there, I'm Amy. I love exploring the city, especially with a four legged friend by my side. My schedule is flexible and I'm active, so I am an ideal caretaker for your pet. I'm experienced, a great communicator and an all around dog lover. Let's set up a meet and greet! I've had dogs of my own since I was five years old. Since moving to NYC in 2012 and back to Chicago in late 2019, though, I haven't had the space or time for one--but I've racked up plenty of hours dog-sitting for friends (they can't keep me away from their pets). I love these furry friends as well as the hours spent marching around the city with them. Dogs remind me that it's ok to focus on what's happening in the moment and just be myself. After all, they do it so well! My experience includes administering medication (both oral and injectable), long walks and jogging, helping dogs through scary experiences (Hurricane Irene in Zone A Brooklyn), and lots of fun times: swimming, dog park adventures, trips to the groomer, and plain old slumber parties. I'm happy to take your dog wherever their heart desires. I'd love to set up a meet and greet with you to learn more about your furry friend. Please reach out to me with any questions, or if you'd love to learn more about my experience.
Reviews
Amy took loving care of my dog Stella while also house-sitting for a week. She is most capable, responsible, and trustworthy. I was happy to know my home and pooch were in such good hands while I was away.
Amy is great at caring for my 17 year old Kipper. She sends photos of him throughout the day and texts letting me know how he's doing. I appreciate the note she leaves me upon completion, which tells me how he's been eating, sleeping, etc. She's very thoughtful and respectful of both me and my dog. Thanks Amy!
Amy has cared for our dog, Quinn, many times at a few different apartments of ours. She often stays at our apartment with Quinn while we are away. She is extremely responsible and reliable and great with dogs, Quinn is always excited to see her when she comes by. She is also an excellent houseguest and house sitter, and our home is always in the same condition as when we left it. I highly recommend Amy for your dog boarding needs.

Information Amy H. would like to know about your pet
I prefer smaller breeds, but I won't shy away from larger dogs. I like to know everything! Habits, likes, dislikes, quirks, what makes your dog happy and what makes your dog hide under (or behind) the sofa for an hour.
A typical day
I like to tailor our time together according to each dog's personality and preferences. Some dogs like long leisurely walks in the park (so do I!), while others are partial to belly rubs and cuddling. I'm happy to do whatever they (and you) want us to do.
