A typical day

Our days are very cuddly and relaxing. I work from home so I'm here with the pups full time. On nice days I leave my back door open, and they get to come and go to the fenced back yard as they please. We play, go for walks around the neighborhood, and give lots of hugs and kisses!!

Pet care experience

I have had pets all my life from dogs and cats to horses and even a squirrel and most everything in between. We even raised a couple on bottles! In the past few years I have taken care of a couple of family pets whenever they are on vacation. My children and I love having furry guests in our home! I have a fenced in back yard to ensure animals have a safe place to play and lay in the sunshine or they can stay inside and relax. I work full time from home so I am always able to be here with your fur baby.

Amy and her kids were great! Felt comfortable leaving our Gigi with them. Kept us updated daily with pics which I loved to receive! Looks like our girl had so much fun staying there!

Amy was amazing! We were a little nervous about leaving our dog with someone we didn't know. Amy immediately put us at ease and made us feel like our pup was the most important dog on the planet. She is extremely professional and answered all my texts quickly. She provided photos and updated us with how things were going daily. After meeting her we knew she would care for our dog like she was one of her own. She was extremely flexible at changing the dates of stay when I'd accidentally clicked the wrong days. Even though they were very last minute. Her compassion for animals is truly genuine as evidenced by the model she's set for her children. They, too, took to our dog and treated her like a real princess. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our pupper.

Amy was awesome with our pup. So thankful she was able to fit us in last minute. We will definitely be using her again.
