Pet care experience

Honored w/the Opportunity to Help

Note: After being in Cudahy for 22yrs and providing care through Rover for over 6yrs, I am sad to share that due to unexpected unemployment I am needing to relocate. I will no longer be able to provide services on Rover. This is why my calendar looks blocked for most of 2026. My profile will be removed late March and I am booked almost solid until then. My calendar is current. I do have a friend who will be willing to help with anyone who has received my care or who would reach out for future needs. His Rover profile isn't ready yet but I could share it with you as soon as it is if you'd be interested. Thank you all for these amazing years and for the privilege and honor to give quality care and to be able to share your dog as part of our family as well! It will remain fresh in our day-to-day life, but June 2019 we had to say goodbye to the closest animal friend we have ever had. Izzy, our Australian Cattle Dog, was almost 15 years old. Our family misses her so much! We were so used to having a dog around the house and love having that again with Rover. I do travel and this prevents me from being able to fully commit another decade+ to another dog of our own, so that is why we are excited about Rover! We had a Rottweiler, Xena, for 7 of those years alongside Izzy, and I grew up in a large family, always with 1 or 2 dogs. My other siblings, as well as my cousins, all have larger breed dogs, so we are accustomed to family get togethers also including our loved pets! Thank you for considering me to provide the best care in your stead! Please do check out all our pics of dogs we have spent time with!

Amy is great dog sitter! Our 14 month old pup had her 1st weekend away from us and she seemed in good spirits when we picked her up. Pictures and updates during her stay showed she had a great time, adapted well and was well taken care of. I so recommend Amy!

Amy was lovely. She sent pictures and made my dog a part of the family. He had his own vacation while we were gone.

Amy was amazing with our dog, Copper, while we were away on vacation! She went above and beyond to keep him happy, engaged, and well cared for. We loved getting updates and could tell he was in great hands the entire time which gave us so much peace of mind. We would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter!

Amy did a great job caring for my dog Buddy. She was gracious and understood that he is still learning his manners.

Amy was extremely friendly and took wonderful care of our 2 dogs, Oliver and Niko! Especially since Oliver is afraid of fireworks and storms and she had them over the 4th of July. Photo updates during our trip were so enjoyable to see! Highly recommend Amy as a sitter!! Will definitely use here again!
