I absolutely love being a dog mom!
Pet care experience
I believe every animal deserves love, comfort, attention, as well as a healthy diet and exercise plan. I have been providing care for my friend's and family's animals for years. I’ve watched a variety of small and large dogs for extended periods of time. Most recently, I helped a family member through end of life care with their beloved golden retriever; this taught me about caring for dogs of old age and the human grief associated with this natural process. I am familiar with basic canine training techniques. I am also confident in providing general grooming services for dogs such as bathing, nail trimming ear cleaning, and oral care. Often people need the most help with their pets during major life changes, including a new job, home, or addition to the family as well as during vacations and at times of crisis. I have personally helped during each of these examples. What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my degree in Social Work. With this additional training and wisdom I am also equipped to help the family through life's challenges. I am the right person for any family if they value their pets as a family member and desire consistent and quality care for their pet.
Reviews
Amy has watched my crazy rambunctious, pitty/hound mix on several occasions. She's great at following direction, cool with spending the night/weekend/week, and quick to ask questions if anything comes up. I would absolutly recommend Amy to any one looking for a snuggle buddy for their pets!
Amy is a great dog sitter; she's reliable, friendly, and responsible. I have always felt safe leaving my dogs with her and they love her!

Information Amy K. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences. Where is your dog at in the training process? What commands does your dog know or doesn't not know (which ever one is easier to answer)? Are you struggling with any undesirable behaviors? Energy level? low, moderate, or high How does your dog interact with other dogs? Any medical conditions or concerns? Any safety precaution needed while providing care for you dog?
A typical day
I value having a strong human-animal bond, rewarding positive behaviors, and withholding rewards for undesired behaviors. I have decided to work towards a full-time career focused on caring for animals. My future goals are to become a professional dog trainer and eventually start my own business. As I have learned, I’m passionate about working with dogs. This means I will continue to grow in my knowledge and experience, providing the most up-to-date and humane. When working with any dog my goal is to communicate and listen instead of dominating them to do desirable behaviors. I value having a strong human-dog bond, rewarding positive behaviors, and withholding rewards for undesired behaviors. This philosophy focuses on communicating with dogs and avoiding using physical corrections. Dogs love our affection and were breed to work with us, they thrive on learning and meeting our exceptions. I ‘m excited to apply what I learn and see the result with the animals I work with
