Highlights
Pet care experience
My fav therapists have fur & 4 legs
I want to learn more about how to help animals, so I recently started volunteering at the local humane society again, after a long break when life got busy. While I love all animals, most of my experience was with dogs, giving them walks and assisting with socialization playgroups to help alleviate their kennel stress and help them get more likely to get adopted. In addition, I took behavioral classes for dogs at my time at the humane society. I also had dogs of my own, including one who was very reactive to his environment, which I also went through training for. I also had some experience in helping my dogs through illness during their lifetime. They were my babies, and I understand how precious pets are to their families. While I can't replace a pet's loved one when they aren't physically around, I want to be there for them during those uncertain times.

Safety, trust & environment
While I am fairly new to petsitting in this capacity, I have petsit for friends' cats and dogs in the past. I enjoyed the process of gaining the trust of the animal by respecting their space, and giving them affection whenever they wanted to try coming up to me. I always appreciated getting as much information from the owners as possible, so I knew whether the animals had any allergies, or what bothered them, or if they needed any special kind of care. I loved texting the owners photos of what their pets were doing, as well as providing updates.
Ratings and reviews
Amy J did a great job as our housesitter and pet sitter. We have two Goldendoodle’s who we rarely leave with anyone. The dogs adjusted very well to Amy’s presence. She was calm with the dogs and they very much sensed that. Amy sent pictures of our dogs while we were away. Amy made us all feel comfortable and my husband and I were able to enjoy a few nights away knowing our furbabies were in great hands. We will definitely book Amy again in the future. So grateful for her kindness and care.

Schedule
I'm available at any time, as long as I don't have a prior commitment! Hanging out with animals is probably way better than what I was going to do anyway.
