It really is the perfect fit for me because I work from home and am always here! I also have no weekly outside commitments. My husband is also here most of the day! We prefer drop off / pick up times 7am-8p

About Amy M.
Communication

Safety, trust & environment
I have completed Dog and Cat CPR/First Aid Certification with the American Red Cross! I have a pet first aid kit with thermometer, bandages, Tweezers, emergency blanket, guideline to cpr/first aid situations on fridge, etc. I have a huge fenced in yard. We do not use chemicals/fertilizer in our yard and only pet safe products for our floors and surfaces. We do not diffuse oils and use air freshener only in bathroom. We live in a quiet safe neighborhood that your dog will also be walked in (if applicable) while boarding. We also have a separate living area in the basement for any special needs. We have a boarding storage cabinet for your supplies/items. Frequently washed blankets for your pet's comfort. There is no carpet in our home. Downstairs we have set up a seperate boarding room, if you wish your pets to be separated from our 4 cats. It is tailored to cats currently but can be quite easily swapped into a dog room. We also have a 24 hour 360 camera with 2 way audio with a live feed in that room to our phones and tv). This room also has an additional smoke/carbon monoxide detector and a fire extinguisher. We have 3 other extinguishers and 5 other detectors throughout our home. We have Google ability to dial 911 with voice command upstairs and downstairs if in some way we couldn't reach our phones (although we wear smart watches most of time.)

Pet care experience
I have taken care of my own dogs and cats my whole life. I am a nurse. I have had 2 dogs that lived for 17 years each. I loved them so! In the end of life of my last dog, he required personal medical care; doggy diapers as well! I have administered shots, IV fluids under the skin, and medications. Besides being able to do the hard care for our older "children" (they are our babies), I have spoiled them rotten with walks, dog parks, toys, treats, baths, grooming, and SO MUCH LOVE! I would love to care for and love on your pets the same while you vacation, need a break, moving, or any other reason you need temporary boarding for your pet! We believe pets are children and family members! Psalm 12:10 The righteous care for the needs of their animals.

Reviews

Amy and her husband Peter were beyond amazing. I have used Rover several times previously and was disappointed in some cases. This experience with Amy and Peter changed everything for us. Amy sent pictures and videos every day we were on vacation and it showed us that she was so happy with them...wagging tail and loving scratches. My dog has a sensitive stomach and she had and "episode" while we were gone. Amy made her chicken and rice and that solved the problem. I can't imagine any other care-giver going to this extreme. Amy and Peter know so much about dogs and cats and I can't say enough good about them. I will DEFINITELY use them again for future needs.

Nova was so excited to go back and spend time with Amy and PETER. They are so amazing not only with the animals but just in general. I myself enjoy talking to them when dropping off and picking up. They are absolutely wonderful about sending videos and updates. Can’t say enough good things about them and I will only use them for when I need to board Nova and sometimes I take her over for a couple days to let her burn some energy off and have playmates to play with.

Amy and her husband took EXCEPTIONAL care of my dog Whiskey!


Amy and Pete were willing to accommodate us for an overnight stay with very short notice. We appreciate them and their awesome care so very much!
