Highlights
Pet care experience
Warm, Loving & Attentive Dog Sitter
I sincerely LOVE getting to know each individual dog's personality (quirks and all!) and learning about what makes them happiest. I have many years of experience: walking dogs in NYC & in Western Mass; pet-sitting for my friends', neighbors' and partner's dogs (as well as for other types of pets). I create a warm, nurturing and happy environment for my precious furry friends to thrive. (Please note: on Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays, I am usually available from 11 AM-5:30 PM; on Mondays & Wednesdays, I am usually available from 11 AM -12 PM)

Ratings and reviews
Amy was fantastic! She truly saved the day by accommodating a last-minute request for my pup, Kalliope. From start to finish, her communication was top-notch; she sent frequent, adorable updates and pictures, which gave me such peace of mind. Kalliope came home happy and tired. I will absolutely trust Amy again with Kalliope and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.
Amy L. has been a wonderful caregiver for my dog, both boarding him and giving him great walks. She is kind, affectionate, and playful with him. She is also careful and responsible in learning his habits and needs, including his food, toys, and bed when boarding. She kept in regular contact with me while I was away and sent me cute photographs of his activities. When I picked him up, he seemed very happily adjusted to her home. Katharine B.
Amy is a wonderful caregiver for pets and a very professional person who is reasonably priced and completely reliable! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting services!
Amy is very communicative and took great care of our dog. We had an issue with our key and lock and she was gracious throughout the experience. We will certainly be hiring her again.
Amy was very helpful with our 5-month old black lab! We needed help last-minute and she was great! Our puppy needed two walks during the day. She communicated quickly, efficiently and provided updates. I highly recommend her and we will be asking for help again soon! -Ryan
I can’t speak highly enough about Amy. Her love for animals of all kinds, her attentiveness to details and her communication skills make her a compassionate and responsible pet sitter, and allows any worried pet owner to relax knowing their furry friend is in good hands. Amy asks excellent questions, sends updates and loves to go on long walks, whether in her neighborhood or out on a nature trail, something our dog, Shelby loves. If you’re looking for a mature person you can trust to keep your pet safe, happy, and cared for, and who can put your mind at ease, Amy is that person.

Schedule
I'm currently working part-time as a educator (tutor) so I have ample time to provide dog care (walking, drop-in day care and occasional boarding) during the week, Mon-Wed and Thurs-Friday. On occasion, I may be able to board dogs during the weekend.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in an extremely peaceful, quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood (the Plains of Easthampton) toward the end of a cul-de-sac. So there is almost no cars or traffic here. I do have a front & back yard. Although it is not fenced, it is backed by trees and, as mentioned, almost zero traffic
A typical day
I love to stimulate yours dogs mentally and physically through energetic play and walks. And of course, I provide tons of cozy, scritching time. I will introduce them to my very dog-friendly (almost no-traffic) neighborhood with all the interesting doggy smells here (!) or we can walk around your own familiar neighborhood. I delight in introducing your dog to beautiful hiking trails in the nearby woods. I can also provide social time (if appropriate) at places like the Smith-Vocational Dog Park!
