Pet care experience
I've been an animal lover my whole life. I was your typical child who brought in any sort of critter she would find. Now a days, I take pride when my community contacts me for advice on wildlife in need, or unique pets to be rescued. These days I get to put my passion to use as jobs. Working at the local Zoo for the past 4 years (in different positions) has given me unique insight on animal care. My sister has a developmental disability, and she is the #1 reason I have learned the love languages, and unique needs of those who are non verbal. Like humans, I understand that animals all have unique personalities and needs that must be met. I strive to provide a safe and engaging environment for animals of all shapes, sizes and abilities. I intend to keep a sharp eye on your fur baby and quickly access/attend to needs; whether they be extra cuddles or a dash in the yard to get out extra energy.
Reviews
Amy was very responsive and did a great job watching Ham!
Amy was excellent at communicating about our dog while we were out of town. She is very clearly an animal lover!
My dogs felt right at home with Amy. She took our appointment last minute and took great care of our dogs. Will use again in gone future.
Amy is so knowledgeable about animals but also so good with Rosie! She is always so excited to babysit my pup and that is so reassuring. I love that Rosie gets to play with Amy’s other animals and run around her big yard when she is there. Rosie comes back tired which to me shows she had a great time. Amy sends me updates and pictures throughout Rosie’s stay which I appreciate. I’ll always will reach out to Amy when we need a sitter!

I do not let guest dogs outside for any amount of time without supervision. I have adapted my home to accommodate animals of all sorts. If needed, I have plenty of space to separate the areas your doggos can interact with mine if I am not at home. I have extra bedrooms and baby gates. Outside, I have a flock of chickens and ducks. They are in their own pens, and will be safe from hungry eyes.

Information Amy L. would like to know about your pet
Any specific fear triggers I should be aware of? Are they well potty trained? Do they "mark" indoors? Get along exceptionally well with other dogs? IE: Any resource guarding or food aggression I should be aware of? Do they chew on shoes or household items? Do your cats eat plants? Because I do have a heck of a lot of plants...
A typical day
Quiet and safe neighborhood for walks. Huge fenced in backyard. Will take on trips to Riverwalk/local parks or even Soda city on Saturday if owner is ok. All sorts of fun smells in the backyard farm. Cuddle time is our favorite time here.

I'm a huge homebody. So the animal care routines come naturally. They bring me joy and entertainment. I have adapted my work schedule so that I can still have the mental and physical energy required to care for everyone.
