Pet care experience

Hi! I am a life-long Metairie resident with over 10 years of experience in animal care. I live in Metairie near Sam’s on Airline and have lived in the same home over 24 years. I have 3 dogs of my own, I work and go to school from home so I am home 95% of the time so your pup(s) won’t be left alone long. I do doggie daycare, doggie home visits at your home and doggie extended care in my home. I was a dog foster mom for over 6 years, including dogs in fostice, and have been a dog sitter for the last 5 1/2 years but have always loved and been around animals my whole life. I serve the New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, Harahan area and offer the following: 🐶 pet-sitting house calls 🐶 private boarding for dogs 🐶 pet transport to/from the groomer, veterinary or any other appointments, if needed while in my care. 🐾 I don’t use crates when I board dogs in my home (unless requested by the owner or if owner is doing crate training) 🐾Pups boarding with me stay in a calming home environment with pet accessible furniture, a huge backyard and a “dog room” where the dogs I sit for love to lounge in and watch Dog TV, which is music and calming videos designed for dogs, and play with the many dog puzzle games and toys I provide. 🐾I also provide beds and dog cots. 🐾All you need to provide is your pups food and feeding schedule, treats and any allergies or important information I need to know about your pup for them to have a relaxing, happy stay! I also have a lot of experience with senior dogs and dogs on medication. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a meet & greet just send me a message. I will also happily provide references of other very happy current clients upon request.

It was very good time for us to see you, Amy My 3months puppy did not leave from her. Amy is so friendly and knowledgeable to handle a troubled puppy like Noma and she is respectful for owners rules and concerns. I would definitely ask her when Noma is ready!

Grace Kelly came home happy and energetic. Amy was communicative and knowledgeable. From the time I saw her interacting with my pup and another dog being sat and how she was able to calm the nervous energy of the older dog that could be seen as aggression but knowing it’s just a warning to the puppy to stay away and how she easily handled the situation with no fuss, just a simple redirect for both. She knows what she is doing and would recommend Amy to anyone who would ask. I’ve had my share of sitters on rover and my last one was bad and I was trepidatious to use rover again. Amy’s demeanor and communication eased my worries. I’ll be using her again later in the month hopefully when I leave for about a week.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a very large fenced yard with plenty of space to run around and walk my pups at least 2ce a day. I also have a 15 year old son with Autism (highly functioning) who gives our own babies, Tinkerbell, Peanut Butter & Domino lots of hugs and kisses too so your pup will get plenty of love! I’m sorry I cannot watch German Shepherds or Pit Bulls because my son is petrified of those 2 breeds. Thanks for looking! *Updated May 2023, unfortunately we lost Itty Bitty but he was an absolutely amazing companion for many many years and I miss him every single day.

I have an amazing neighborhood that I walk twice daily to give my pups exercise! I also have a huge backyard they can run and play in. When it’s raining or hot outside the animals love relaxing and watching dog/animal TV shows and playing with puzzles and toys I provide.
