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!
Reviews
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.
Amy is very reliable, always gets back to me quickly and ... Rocky, my GSD loves her! PS. She really takes some great pics of Rocky too!
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!!!
