Pet care experience
Hello! Thanks for considering me to care for your best bud(s)! I take great pride in creating a safe and loving environment for your pets. General FYI - the Rover search function sorts sitters in a very random, obscure, and constantly changing order, so the numbering in the search list is not reflective of much of anything, not even distance. You can use the filter checkboxes to narrow down to your particular needs (e.g., fenced, no kids, etc.). Hopefully I can help! SNAPSHOT: ** Don't let the distance deter you, I have a great place that is worth the easy drive. ** Fun, safe, clean space that is fenced, and on property that I own in Nelson ** Experienced, attentive, & skilled caretaker, former vet tech ** I work from home, so your pet is always supervised and loved ** Flexible drop-off & pickup times between 6a - 10p ** You only need to bring food, and I provide the rest ** Daily updates for your family with pics & vids FULL DETAILS: I'm a former vet tech from years ago (so I have animal handling skills, first aid, etc.), but now I do sustainability consulting working from home in Nelson County. Your pal will get so much love and attention!! I own my home on about 5 acres, and a large swath of that is fenced, giving plenty of great space for zooms, lounging in the shade, and fetching. I do have 2 pets already, who are both VERY lovely and friendly. My dog Sylvie is a 3 1/2 year old, spayed and vaccinated, Pyrenees/Lab mix and she is exceptionally well-mannered and does very well with all dogs and cats. My cat Finley is much the same, neutered and vaccinated, 1 1/2 years old and outgoing, confident and friendly indoor/outdoor cat. I keep a nice home, and can often be found puttering in the garden with my buddies, hiking, or working on some house projects. Please reach out if you need someone to give your pets some extra care! WHAT TO BRING: • Proof of current vaccinations: Rabies, Bordetella, DHLPP (digital copies are fine). Due to the necessity of protecting the health and safety of other boarders and my own pets, I have a policy of not accepting animals with active illnesses, infections, parasites, etc. • Please make sure your dog is treated with flea/tick preventives! Very important. • Your dog’s food • Any special or familiar items to make your dog feel happy WHAT I PROVIDE: • Lots of love and attention, and supervised play • 2 large, secure fenced areas for play and lounging • Clean, comfy dog beds & blankets • Bowls for food and water • Wire Crates (though your dog will sleep inside, uncrated unless crating is needed for puppies or if requested) • A variety of soft chew toys, tennis balls, and even a treat or two (if allowed) Please take some time to fill out your pet's profile completely and honestly, as this helps to make a good match with owners and sitters.
Reviews

Outstanding person and dog caretaker. Our pup probably had more fun with Amy than at home, and we had zero concerns leaving him for ten days. He came home happy and healthy.

Ranger always has the most fun at Amy’s house! I love getting all of the pictures of him hanging out with Sylvie and the other fun pups that are around!

Amy did a fantastic job with our dog Stina, even though she was a pain and went on a bit of a hunger strike. She communicated regularly and in great detail, and always answered questions quickly. She went above and beyond in her care for Stina. I would 100% recommend her.


Great experience with Amy booking last minute. She was great with my lab and anxious border collie.

Safety, trust & environment
My home offers access from the indoors to 2 large fenced areas on my 5 acre property. Lots of opportunity to play indoors or out, and I always monitor all play. Dogs and cats sleep inside at night on comfy beds. I can offer a crate too, if needed for puppies. If you okay it, I can even take them on a hike :-)
Home
Information Amy H. would like to know about your pet
Some information I will need includes: 1) Behavioral issues (e.g., lack of potty training, aggressive behavior), 2) Any special needs, illnesses and diet restrictions, 3) Any resource guarding, and 4) Any fence escape tendencies.
A typical day
I have lots of fenced space to play outside, with 2 separate fenced areas. I provide a variety of toys and tennis balls, but feel free to bring any special items. We wake up early for breakfast, and the dogs get regular outdoor time, usually every 1-2 hours throughout the day. Fetch sessions too!
