Highlights
Pet care experience
Fear-free, trustworthy care!
Hi! My name is Amy, and as the owner of a rescue dog and an animal caregiver of almost a decade, I know every pet is an individual that deserves patience and kindness. I provide trustworthy, compassionate care and regular updates while you’re away! I volunteer at Midcoast Humane, have worked with certified trainers and veterinary technicians, and have handled dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I use positive reinforcement and fear-free methods to form a long-lasting, trusting relationship with your dog.

Safety, trust & environment
I use fear free techniques to ensure your dog is confident and relaxed in my care. Slow, positive introductions and gentle care is my specialty. For large, strong, and high energy dogs, I will run and play with them to match their intensity! My goal at the end of my visit if for you to have an enriched, content dog.
Ratings and reviews
Amy truly went above and beyond for our dog, Finn. He can be a little shy at first and she took the time to gain his trust and meet him where he was at. She was very communicative and kept us in the loop about everything. I felt comfortable knowing that my dog was in good hands and will happily have Amy come for future visits.
Amy was fantastic with our dogs Guin and Lenny over two visits. She was communicative and thorough every time, sending photos and detailed updates after each drop-in so we always knew how the pups were doing. She took the time to build trust with Lenny, who’s a bit shy at first, and made real progress with him over just two visits — he was scooting closer and taking treats from her hand by the second day. She followed our instructions closely and even handled pee/poop tracking and yard time exactly as we asked. Highly recommend her — will definitely book her again!
Amy was so amazing with my pups. She gave them lots of love and care and sent a bunch of pictures and progress while she cared for them. She was amazing!
Amy was great. We were close enough that she was able to come last minute. She was patient and sweet to our old dog. We (and Zoe) hope to see her again.
Amy was great with Haley and Haley was very comfortable with Amy from the moment she saw her. I can tell that Amy is very attentive with dogs and just naturally relates to them. I would definitely try to use Amy again when I'm in the area.
Amy did great with Lucy, our 10 month old lab/golden retriever mix. She is quite spunky and Amy handled her with no problem at all! She took her for a walk and responded quickly to my texts! She was great to accommodate us so last minute as well! Thanks for a great first experience on Rover! -Janelle & Shawn

Schedule
I am currently a full-time student with half of my classes online, so I have lots of flexibility for morning, afternoon, or evening care.
