I speak fluent dog & cat! 🐶🐱

Pet care experience

I have over 30 years experience caring for furbabies and raising them up! I've worked as a boarding/kennel attendant, vet assistant and receptionist. I am perfectly comfortable with administering oral, topical and injectable medications if needed/required. I can also do light grooming such as ear cleaning, nail trimming, teeth brushing and bathing/brushing. I consider myself a self taught dog trainer and I can help with training the basics! I'm patient, firm, and creative and I believe in positive reinforcement & consistency as well as redirecting as necessary and plenty of love and praise! I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion and I can't wait to be their new best buddy to hang with! Whether we're going for a walk, a hike or playing fetch in the backyard, I'm pawsitive it's going to be a howling and meowing good time!

Amy was great. She met me the day before I was away to meet Hoover and me. Her questions displayed her knowledge of animal care. By the time she left, I was totally comfortable leaving my dog in her care.

Amy took great care of Howie. He's not always Mr social but she was patient with him and made a new friend.

Very grateful for people like Amy. We received fun pictures of our cat every day and were not worried about him at all. Thank you, Amy!!!
